tions held by thein were remarkably well select- ed. The " cease fire " sounded a little before six and, we believe, the decision arrived at was that an attack on the Peak from the south sido of the laland would be quite hopeless of success.
The Geneml with his Staff viewed the opera- tions and afterwards expressed himself as highly pleased with the keenness shown by the citizen soldiers. The following officers acted as umpires, Colonel Fraser, R.A., Major McMahon, RW.F., Major Cole, A.SC., Captain Mould, E., and Captain Berger H.K.R

4. Gun practices took place on Wednesday, 25th, from Stonecutters' over a Sea range, and Saturday, 26th, over a Land range from a point near the old Customs Station at Lai-Chi-Kok.
5 Instruction in gun-laying was given daily, and evoked great interest and much competi). tion. A very marked improvement has latterly taken place in laying. The excellent results of the course of instruction were to be observed at the practice on 28th. when the layingcould hardly have been better. Six additional men qualified as gun-layers during the Comp.
6. The Battery formed part of the defence during the attack on Stonecutters Island and the Mine Fields on the 25th, and displayed great keenness in the operations, and intelli- gence in carrying out the various orders.
At the conclusion, the Volunters formed up at the Tram Station and Major Chapman gave permission the gunners to select their own road down to Head Quarters. Lt. Slade, who last year had tried the Peak rond, when he had to men on his guns, wisely elected to take the Magazine Gap road, which, though longer is decidedly the easier. Some of the more venturesanie, under L. Armstrong and B.S.M. Kennett assayed the steeper one and 7.

HONGKONG VOLUNTEER CORPS.
The following extracts from the reports of the camp of Instruction are taken from the ⚫report which appeared in Saturday's Garitie:
REPORT FROM THE COMMANDANT, TO THE D.AAG,
Out of a total strength of 24 Officers, 281. N: C. Officers and men, and 11 önenrolled boys, at Officers, 241 N. C. Officers and men, and to boys attended the camp of lnstruction, for periods varying from i to to days, between the dates 20th to 30th October, 1899.
Conduct. The behaviour in camp was all that could be desired. The attendance at drille was good throughout, and thorough attention paid to the instruction given.
The shooting of the Field Battery was good and great attention was paid to fire discipline, which shewed a marked improvement towards the end of the camp.
In the Machine Gun Companies as much time as possible was devoted to gun drill and fre discipline. Gun practices were held on three separate occasions with instructions in clearing jams, &c.
and
"A" Machine Gun Company shot well shewed a good knowledge of fire discipline.
In the competition at the end of the course held at Lai-Chi-Kok on Saturday, the 28th October, the following marks were obtained. The target consisted of 33 targets of varying sizes representing a column 'advancing with its front covered by skirmishers. Range about

***********... 25 out of sa From the above it will be seen that "A" company proved itself the best at shooting and fire discipline, but I consider that "B" and "C" companies also did extremely well taking into consideration that they have only been formed during the last 6 months.
These two companies shew the greatest in terest in their work and I have small doubt but that in the course of the next year they will be. on an equal footing with "A" Company.
Infantry. The Infantry Company being rather few in numbers were combined for drill purposes with the "E" Engineer Company:
which is similarly armed with rifles. I consider that the Infantry Company will in the course of the next year become a most efficient Unit. They are under the instruction of a very able Non-Commissioned officer froin the Royal Welch Fusiliers and shew the greatest interest. and keenness in their work. A large number of the men of this Company are old Volun- teers, having served in Volunteer Battalions in England and elsewhere.
Report on the instruction of "E" Engineer Company by Lieut. Bagnall-Wilde, R.E.
They were instructed in their duties as Infantry with "D" Company and were most assiduous and painstaking. They shewed a most marked improvement by the end of the course.
A recruits' course of musketry was carried out by all Units but owing to the small amount of S. A. Ammunition allowed to the Corps In -Part-1,-Schedule-15, of the Volunteer Regula tions a further course could not be carried out, I would suggest that the allowance of S. A. Ammunition should be in future provided on
the following scale :-* :*
Per recruit...
............................. 25 rounds
.....75 rounds!
Per efficient ....... This does not alter the present rate, per efficient, but is merely asking for an allowance for recruits, there being no such provision at .presont..
On the 26th October a night attack was made on the camp at Stonecutters and afforded the officers and men very useful instruction. I attach a report from Major A. Chapman, 0. C. Field Battery.

REGATTA NOTES BY OARSMAN,
The Regatta is now close
hand and train. ing has been very brisk for the last three weeks, with the exception of one or two the crews are doing fairly well. For the Chairman's Challenge Cup 5 crews have entered, viz.:--
Kornblume. E. Herbst (Capt.)
1. Hance
J. Millar
F. M. Pereira
Leth
A. E. Alves (Capt.) W. S. Bailey V. Watson AJ. Mackie
Rose.

R. Lapsley
D. F. Baine
Shamrock.
A. A. Alves (Capt.)
C. E. Hance
P. H. Hyndman
H. A. Seth
The above are very evenly matched and there is very little to choose between them. The
stroked by A. E. Alves seems to be the strongest crew and should win this race, but I
fear Kornblume will give the Zar a very hard race for first honours. I regret to see the Shamrock stroked by A. A. Älves, winner of '97 and '98 has only been out three times since the crews were picked. This crew was my fancy a few weeks ago but now I am afraid that bow and No. 2 (who are the weak men in the boat) will not be able to fast the distance, If they intend to win this race they must stick in hard and do justice to stroke, still there is no reason why this crew should not win. (Buck in Alves, strength might do it.) The Rose has been doing very well fately but No. 3 is weak. I was informed that H. W. Kennet has, very kindly, promised Stopani, to row in the Thistle in the place of Machado. If this is so, the sooner this crew starts training the better, as I believe they need a lot of hard work to put themselves into form.
Ladies Prize.-I hear that there will be no
fewer than three crews from the V.R.C. entering for this rc. They will be stroked by Armstrong, Herbst and Alves, and with one or two from the Hongkong Boat Clubs, this race should be a very interesting one, as in my opinion, the crews are very evenly matched.

A very good English crew could be made up of the Brothers Hance, A Humphreys, J. Danby, or Kennet.

The Fighting round Ladysmith.
DURBAN, November 5th.
The accounts given by native eye-witnesses of the fighting near Ladysmith last week are confirmed from other souices. The prisoners and lont taken after the fight were conveyed to Ladysmith, which is full of Boer prisoners and wounded. The latter bear terrible evidence of the swordsmanship of our cavalry, Lyddite is said to have been used on Thursday with good effect against the enemy.
The Natal naval volunteers have left Est- court for Pietermaritzburg to assist in the defence of the latter place They take with them their big gulls
which are not sufficiently mobile for field
The escape of the Durban Light Infantry outpost from Fori Molyneux during the attack on Colemo was largely due to the very effective fire of the Lee-Melfords in the hands of the Dublin Fusiliers. The range at which they fired was 2,900 yards. The Boers were quite unable to respond effectively, the fire of their Mausers falling far short.
