TRAINING NOTES.
A mist as thick as a hedge covered 'he Happy Valley this morning, so that it was quite impos- sible to indulge in any reliable tuting, the back stretch being qulo invible to the watchers at the rails. There was a fairly large turn-out 3c81 79 of "Sports" ander all circumstances, and when 265712 te list of entries has been published and 75000 circulated, the dead-and alive apathy in the 133.780 Taces which has hitherto prevailed will doubtless 1,03448 give way to a keen and general interest. 149,000 00
foreigners bartly be said that he took evident threatenings of it on the Sunday, which was bitterly cold, Ku-shan and the higher hills around being already, capped with white. The natives were too pinched up and stupefied by the cold on Sunday to think what the morrow might bring forth, therefore great was their few of them had ever seen before. The first surprise on Monday morning to see what but sounds which greated the foreigner's ear a awaking, were a succession of "bl yaha!” as one by one of the household began to move about, The present writer asked his "boy" on coming into his room with the morning cup of tex, what the meaning of all the "hi yahs" about the house meant, and he was told "have got largee rain." The boy had never seen nor beard of snow before.
Great were the rejoicings when the elderly falk amongst the population made knows what the snow portended ; it meant a year of happi- ness and prosperity. The fact had been handed damn from their fore-fathers and there was no foss-pidgin or fung Aus about it; it was a hard fact learnt from experience follosing previous experiences. Amongst other pleasing assurances we are to have a revival of the tea trade and the coming crop is to be plentiful and of excellent quality; but this only one of the many good things in store for Foochow according to the learned natives.
