CHINESE NEW FEAR HOLIDAYS.
To-morrow according to the Chinesareckoning, ushers in a-new year for the teeming militans of Far Cathay. From the bleak plains of Manchuria to the deadly breeding-ground of the Black Plague la Yornan, and from the seacoast in the east to the barren` tablelands of Thibet, and even beyond, in the far west, the day is observed as the one great rest-day of the year. And wherever over the wide world Chinese reside the holiday is kept most religiously. While lo parely Chlaese, neighbourhoods business is opspened for several days, in buny Hongkong but one day is set aside to celebrate the event, and accordingly, nelther Goverment Offices, Banks, Insurances Offices nor Chinesa Customs office, will open their doors after his evening unti), Friday morning, and, as usual, there will be no Issue of the Hongkong Telegraph to-morrow, in order that our Chinese employers may have an opportunity of enjoying the dives to their hearte' copient. We therefore avall oursalvos of this opportunity to wish our Chiatso subscribers and friends generally
A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
SPORTING GOSSIP,
I have just perused, a cosy of the programme for the Forchow Spring Meeting fixed for the 17th 18th and 19th proximo. is a distinctly good "pro"and should ensure a good, if not an unprecedented number of entries.
The Stewards of the Calcutta Turf Club- tried- Mr. Victor Carandini's patent starting machine at the Hurdle Races (Calcutta) the other day and pronounced it highly satisfactory, I wan der how long time will elapse before starting machines will be uel on racecourses in the Gorgeous East.
It is rumoured some, wealthy Chinese are seriously considering a scheme for the, laying out of a large, race-course as the mainland of China (dear Samsulpo); that they propose to have ten meetings annually, and that there will hea track for horses se well us for Australian, ponts and lar Mongolian "mokes," I have not got enough information about this matter to venture an opinion on the subject, but at an eatly da'e I hope to be able to gire the readers of the Tilegraph full particular.
The weather sill continues as favourable for young fucks as the most enthulula breeder of quack-quacks could desire, but in but as objectionable from the point of view of owners of Mongolian racers as can be imagined, and the consequence will be, I fer, that the galloping to-morrow morning (if the Clerk of the Course
throws the course open) will be far less instructive than I and many others had hoped. It is, of course, kdy enough that the dolls" will at all events be in evide ce, and at the course will probabl be very sloppy wo ope can blame Mr. Hough it should see fit to take this precaution to prevent the race-track from being ploughed up at this juncture in the training season. However, ́in racing, as with many other things, it is often the unlikely bat happens, and it may be that, rain or no iss, the whole track will once more- be placed at the disposal of owners beat on ascertaining just what their mokes can do.
At the annual general meeting ofthe Singapore Sporting Club on the 31st ultime the Chairman, In opening the proceedings, said the most Import ant point in the report was the formation of the Straits Racing Association. It had been formed, and the only drawback. was that Pening bad Joined under protest, because they wished to have two members. The question was coming on agalo in May, and he had no doubt it would be settled satisfactorily. The new rules of racing they hoped to have printed and very shortly distributed. After the report and accounts had been passed the ballot for the election of the Committed for the ensulag year was proceeded with, and sulted in the election of Menara Sugden, J. C. D. Jouer, Captain Booth Mears. Stevia, Earle, J. R. Cuthbertson, and Me. J. P. Joaquim,

The Frecative of the London College of Music have decided to establish in Hongkong a "Loćal Centre" for the examination of sisdents in music. The Cogn has local representatives in nearly 350 provincial centres, comprising the chief cites and towns in the United Klagdom a well us in Canada, the United States and the Colonfes. There are two distinct departments of the College. The Educa- tional Department provides a complete musical education for students of all ages, and from the most elementary to the most advabend stage, in local and Instruments music, the-ty, and composition. The lecturers are musicians of the highest aitalnments and the systems of leaching ir similar to that in use in the Continental conservatories al muile.

The examiners, among whom are Dr. Sangster, Dr. Spark, Dr. Kate, Dr. Mansfield and Mr. A. J.

THE GAOL REPORT. The following report of the Acting Superia. tendeat of Victoria Gaol for 1895 was laid before the Legislative Council, yesterday --
Victoria Gaol,
Hongkong, January 28th, 1896. Sir,--I bave the honour to transmit, for His Excellency, the. Governor's information, the annual reped on the Gasi départment for 1895. The total number of admiìsinne was 5,014, of which 673 had been previously convicted,
3The dally average number of prisoners in the gnol was a fraction over 472 as compared with 453 in 1894, but as the admissions in 1895 exceeded those in the former year by 1,101, the inference is that the number of prisoners with long sentences is still steadily decreasing.
4 There were 5,365 prizen offences ko come pared with
5,120 in 1895.

5.-The addfilon to the gaol, consisting of 155 separato culls, was compisted in December last, so that is now possible to condee a large number of prisoners separately during the Alght. 6-Steps are being taken to improve the prison for the accommodation of females, and also for the erection of saltable quarter for the European officers. Both these improvements have been long required.
7.--The staff of the gaol has been reorganized during the year, chiefly by the engagement of a number of Indian turnkeys, and a corresponding reduction in the European staff. Mr. Craig joined us Warden in February, and a Tow other officers have since come out from England,

different parts of Chios, but we prefer to adopt that of Sir Thomas Wadë. Whether this or that, ti is well to know even a lile about this man.
At the time his nama wen-first mentioned in the papers, it WILLAK A Íearned follower of Chow-ban. So his accusers said—the Rev. M. Schaub and Dr. Eftel. He was then the Literary Chancellor of the Canton Province. At the examinations of students in the province the graduates were presented with a pamphlet written by the Chancellor, and which appeared
to many as, another stealthy thrust at the for- eigeers religion. By this time the Legations Lava doubtles come to some opinion on the matter.
The pamphlet was based on the seventh of the Moral Maxims of the celebrated Emperor. Kang-bal, s., Expel all heterodex doctrines and so exalt„trus principles.” It is another expassion of that maxim much like that of the Emperor Yong-cheng, No mention is made of the Church of Rome, but it has been supposed that the general references to beretical doctrines would tend to insilgate renewed opposlitan to Christian teachers, ilace they are regarded by the people as the chief teachers af heresy to-day, In contradistinction to the orthodoxy of Con- fucianism.
While acting sa Literary Chancellor he was ake an Under-Secretary of the Grand Secre», tarist. Lately he has been appointed
the
post of Vice-President of the Board of Works. He thus receives recognliion for his abilities, and is advanced according to the regular steps of promotion. Thus another one who has been regarded as hostile to foreigners is placed in x pation of power in Peking, to join the number of conservative impediments to progress. We do not ourselves auert that this man is a real for of foreigners, but that he is so accused, His reputation among the Chinese Is simply that of a scholar of well-meaning intentions, and not conspicuous for either hostility or friendliness to either foreigners, progress, or missiOGY,
