A BICFCLE CRANK.

I notice that the question of whether or not a return to the status in quo as regarde #awi:eps and the totalisator at the forthcoming race meet ing has been raised, bath editorially and by an alleged correspondeat, in the columns of the Dally Press. It is a great pity that fools who dont know what they are wilting about will rush- in and, by offensive displays of blatant ignorance,, cramp the sensible efforts of practical men who are interested in the success of racing bi the colony and who are doing their best to ensure that success. I have neither time nor space sit my disposat to-day, but I hope to find an opportunity to-morrow to place this matter in its true light before my reiders; and meanwhile content my self whb remarking that if a gentleman's promise is to be relied on, the good old times under pre- vious Governors of Hongkong, so far as con- cerns the freedom from police interference in a harmless custom recognised in nearly all Fritish colonies, will be to "evidence on the 23rd inst and following days..

The coolles grew threatening when I re fared to pay them an extra dollar, although I had already paid them too much. As they were about to lay hands on me, the Smith and Wes- son changed their minds.

Kiakiang, 28th Jan., 1893. We are having a regular old-fashioned winter, such a winter as is not often seen in these parts. Last week there was thick ice everywhere, and all the skates that could be found in the Settlements of Sweden and Norway, ment were la requisition. Those who were the fortunate possessors of skates very kindly put them at the disposal of others when they were not themselves using them. Crowds of Chinese collected to see the foreigners "walking" and "ilpping on the ice. In the country the large lake above Saikow was frozen over so that bosts could not move, but foot passengers walked over with perfect safety, and even coolies canying heavy burdens passed over without any mishap. At Huka, the Poyang Lake wat frozen over, and I bear to-day that when the thaw set in the ice catas down in large floes or “rafis," as the natives say, and crushed and upie: several boats. with serious loss of life For the last day or two snow has steadily fallen, and there is no sign that it is about to stop.

Tientsin, January gih. The winter is dingging along as usual, and we shall soon be looking forward to the opening of the Pelho, that is to say in a couple of months or 10. The opening of the Manchurian railway may take a few years yet before it comes off, although some respectable progress has been mado already in the direction of Shan-bai-kwan, the eastern terminus of the Great Wall, and those concerned in this grand undertaking are ready to push it on with might and malo. Eray thinking person is in strong hopes that the wiser and better class of natives will Dimately carry the day, and see this grand national enterprise and important work carried to a successful end at no distant date.
