-NOTES ON 1899 RACES:
BY SPECK TATER!
In the way of sport. Hongkong's biggest annual event--the Race Meeting has conc Land gone-The day before the commencement rain poured incessantly, and the first day opened with a clouded sky and threatening rain, and before the ten events were over it came down copiously, fairly drenching those unable to obtain shelter.
As is usual on all such occasions, quiet betting was indulged in, some people finishing up for wealthier than when they started, but others regretting their ill luck. What upset calculations and anticipations to a great extent was the condition of the course, which was decidedly heavy on the first day; but it if improved on the second, and was still better, not ideal, at the wind up.
Owing to the heavy nature of the course no fast times were made, which could not be expected and as far as upsets or surprises were concerned, there were several. Perhaps the biggest miscalculation as to its result was that of the Derby. There were not as many starters this meeting as at the last, being three less. For days previous Obi was the favourite, although many fancied Aberdeen; but when the race was run and Mr. Busey's Wild Rose ran in an easy first by eight lengths, the surprise was great indeed. But the win was a popular one, for Mir. Buxey has coveted the honour of being the owner of the winner since 1896. The time-- 3.29)-was fur slower than Yenesi's at last year's meeting-3.14% Another win also fell to Mr. Buxey, his Meteor Rose securing the Compra- dore's Cup,
» The first race of the day started the surprises, when Captain Lambton's Ute won. The pony was considered an entire, outsider, but Moller-rede-hin-home-an-easy winner-

A splendid exhibition of riding was given on the same day by Mr. Burkill, who rode three firsts to the winning-post-Mr. Derrick-Hunter's Sandstorm (Victoria Stakes), Ultimatum (Val- ley Stakes), and Charger (Lüshano, Cup).
*
Mr. Newcome, a new-comer, entered his pony Unit for the Encouragement Stakes, but The animal threw Mr. Green before starting and bolted back to his stable, so did not run in that race. It was just as well, for he made but a poor show when running the next day.

The same owner experienced another reverse in the race for the Tai Yeuk Fong Cup, Aber deen being only able to make it a dead heat with Strathmore This event caused more ex- citement than any during the meeting, and spectators loudly shouted the two ponies' names in turn as the animals sped up the home straight...

p" did not make a good show, either in this race or for the Ladies' Purse. The positions of the leaders changed considerably until half the distance up the home straight had been traversed, and then Forest King-went to the front; but Tyne, certainly the best pony at the meeting, opened out into his long and grand. stride and beat Mr. Pirlo's (Mr. Glendaye) Forest King by half a length. Tyne “also" won the Challenge Cup easily by three lengths, Mr. Hopeful must certainly feel proud in possessing such a splendid racen Mr. W. W. Cox was the successful Jockey on both occasions,

CHALLENGE SHIELD COMPETITIÓN We mentioned in our last night's issue that the ayth Company of Artillery ought to win the Shield tin against D. Company of the Welsh Fusiliers, and our unticipation Jas once more been verified, but it was n close thing, swing to the Antillery aor being able to put their best. team forward. Some of their best players huive left the Colony, and one or twa are on the sick list. We have said all along that the 25th Company of the Southern Division Royal Artillery would run up into the final for the Shield; but with so many alterations in the team, we do not expect such will be the case. The semi and final struggles should be fought by the Hongkong Club, H.M.S's, Victorious and Powerful. Many think A. Company of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers will have a good lank in; if it does, the team will have to show much better
than the other Companies have.

This put the Ar tillery one goal ahead, which they held to the call of time, winning the match by three goals

For the winners Jones and Mulvery were the pick forward, and Steward as centre half. The. Lacks were fairly reliable. The goalkeepers · on either side surved some difficult shots, Sreed on three ocrasions being particularly brilliant.

RUGBY FOOTBALL.
A hard-Kinght game was played yesterday on the military ground of the Happy Valley be tween the Fleet and Garrison. The sides were well represented, but the Fleet won håndsomely, by 4 goals and try (23 points) to 2 goals (to points). A great feature of the game was the sterling play of Lewis, who ran in with three tries in succession, on all occassions squirming and twisting through all opposition" în" real Rugby style, Tomkinson made the best un during the game. Securing the ball back on His own, 23, he ran and dodged splendidly right up the field and planted the bull between the up- rights. Out of the five tries obtained, he negotiated four into major points. The tries for the Garrison were obtained By Rotherham and Evans, and these two isen played a sounċi game from stat to finish..
THE NAVAL PAINTWORK
FETISH.
The United Service Gazette says -
Any one visiting our great naval ports could
not fail to be struck with the almost super- natural cleanliness of the men-of-way that are in commission, compared with their less aliowy sisters in the Reserve who have not yet put on their war paint, and are in the dingy garb in which they have yet run their trials. Take, for instance, one of the leviathan battleships of the Channel Squadron... As she lies majestically swinging round her anchor among seven oreight of her mammoth sisters, she is surely a modeļ of what can be done by unlimited labour and lavish expenditure to convert a mass of metal of the most-inherently bideous proportions into a thing of beauty which is a joy for just so long as this unlimited labour and lavish expenditure is kept up.
A little whatesoine criti- cism is not antiss, and it is trusted will not be taken to at all reffect on those who have created this high ideal of what a man-of-war should look like. Perhaps in any argument jy is well. to lay down at first the proposition which you are trying to prove. Now it cannot be denied that the sole object of a warship is war and only, and in peace tite all efforts should be towards readiness for war. It may be well to see if this is at all im- paired, and if anything is sacrified to appear. ances. When war comes, which it may at any time, like a thief in the night, of what use would be the polish on the guns and all the decoration of the ship, produced at such a sacrifice of time and labour? Of what use abore his fellows would be, the man who, by spending a large private income on the appear- ance of his ship, has won, early promotion among his less wealthy contemporaries?. The extreme attention paid to the preservation of paintwork engenders cautious feeling in the men which destroys all their dash in the working of guns and boats.
'A' LAKE UNDER LONDON.
London's consumption of water is growing to such an extent that the authorities view the future with some degree of uneasiness. A great scheme for bringing water from Wales is scri- ously talked about, the principal obstacle in the way of adopting that plan being the enormous expense that would be incurred.
But Mr. Walter Moreley presents the County Council with an alternative scheme that would cost nothing like the suga. the Welsh project would involve, and would, in the opinion of Mr. Mosely, be quite as servicable. Mr. Arose- ler, proposes that the County Council should tap a huge natural reservoir of crystal water that countless ages has formed in a chalk basin some hundreds of feet below the surface of this city.
appears that underneath London there is a great lake of pure synter diameter is Hiat between Dunstable in the Its greatest known north and Sevenoaks in the south, which is hout sixty-seven miles.
