But still, if these quadrennial contests are run on those business-like principles which alone can make for success, and if the energy of Mr. ASTLEY COOFER and his fellow-workers can over smother the foolish voices of unpractical come the difficulties of distance, and can dreamers, no doubt all English speaking communities will come into the arena. and we are sure this Colony will acquit itself satisfactorily. Many of the Colonies will find their climatic condiilens bar them from certain branches of sport; Labrador cannot have much hope to win a tennis championship, nor Sierra Leone a skating A. S.

ever, adjust themselves; if Hongkong is THE HONGKONG DISPENSARY. by reason of its peculiar circumstances not so favourably situated for cricket, football, or steeplechasing, as some of the counties in the Old Country, we can still do our best, with some hope of success. In certain departments of athletic pursuits we are as well off as any; in swim- ming, for one, we have recorded times which compare favourably with the world's records, and in several other directions we have little to fear. Hong- kong can certainly send the champion idiot of the universe, if Government Officials are eligible. But, joking apart, the only difficulty in the way of Hongkong taking a prominent part in these proposed athletic gatherings is-distance. A month's festival, a month's Journey each way, and expenses all the time, would very seriously limit the selection of the Colony's cham pions.
