for his bitter beer and when he meets such an excellent substitute as Lemps, he chuckles and gues baldheaded for It. Lemps Beer was rather looked down upon at first as being too light, but its unvaried quality, and purc character lus forced it to the front and now it can be procured in any hotel that pretends to study the taste of its customers, or wholesale from the agent, Mr. Coy, of New Victoria Buildings.

BRAVO CANADIANS!” It is no! often that we hear of the Boers being surprised (that part of the play seems to have been especially re- served for the British) and it is very refreshing to see the ables turned for once in a while, What will the pro-Docṛs say about it, we won- der? Of course they will say surprises are un; fair when conducted by the British, and Mr. Stead will add another "darin” to his warcry, What awful people these Canadians must be in pro-Boer eyes!
DE WET is dead, says Reuter, but we soine how or other are rather inclined to doubt it. Die Wet has led us such a dance over the South African veldt that it would not seem right for him to go and die quietly and respectably in his bed, and we shall be sceptical about reports of his death and take them with a pinch of salt until we have the evidence of eye witnesses. Certainly, we have heard little of him of late, but that may only be because he was taking a rest, from being "surrounded."
CRICKET.
THE STRAITS TEAM.
Owing to the great difficulties in the way of Native States men getting leave, the bulk of the Straits team for Hongkong, quite contrary to all precedent, will- have to be supplied from Singapore this year.
The cricket team' for Hongkong will be con stituted as follws
Capt. Desing, J. G. Mactaggan, C. F. Green, G. M. Billings, W. Langham, Catter, H. W. Sharp, A. G. Wright, D. Kerr, M. 11. Whitley, A. B. Voules Capt. Ainslie, R. McKenzie, C. W: Barkshire.
The thirteen men mentioned will not make by any means the best team, but still it will be fairly good, considering that neither of the Hubbacks nor of the Glassfords are going, and R. T. Reid is now in Scotland.
As some of the Straits Team will probably be leaving in Mail of the 18th November, the following are the detes of the Interport Cricket Matches, but there may be some alterations.
Hongkong P. Straits 11th & 12th November Shanghai Straits 43th & 14th November Hongkong v. Shanghai 15th & 16th November The dates for the Tennis Matches will be fixed later on.
There is no provison for football or other incidental games, except, perhaps, tennis.
In that case for singles and doubles the
Straits would have to rely upon Dewing, Green
and Ainslie S. F. Press.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth This was the ancient law;
A limb for a limb, à life for a life, By this our father's swore.
But now we have come on degenerate days, Nobody troubles to pay
For injury done to the lowly poo That's not a civilized way!
'A life was, aforeţime, a precious thing,
The slayer of man was slain, The doer of hurt made recompense By suffering equal pain.
But things are changed since the olden time- And life is thrown away—

A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS. The commissioning of the Formidable to replace the Resolution in the Channel Squadron gives us, says a naval correspondent, another first-class battleship, just about two years beHE hind her originally promised date of completion Laid down in March, 1898, it was proposed that she should be at sea in the winter of 1899 She was launched in November, 1898, and Ins been in all oyer three and a-half years in the dockyard hands. This is a fsud decline from the days of the Afagnifient and Majestie, Meanwhile, attention should certainly be directed to the inordinate delays which are attending the despatch to sea of the new armoured cruisers Sutlej, Cressy, and Aboukir, The ships were delivered many months ago the Cressy commissioned for China on May 28 when the accident 'to her tiller placed her upon the sick-list. That the space of three and a half comlete months should have been required to repair the damage is not a little disconcert 15. Armoured cruisers are badly needed in Chjua and the Mediterranean, so that" every motive exists for pressing these vessels forward. It may be hoped that the Hogue, delivered this week by the contractors, will be sent to sea with greater expedition.
THE GRIMSBY TROUBLE.
FURTHER RIOTING.
Further ́si rinus rioting occured at Grimsby Docks on the 19th ulto. In the forenoon a mab attacked offices recently vacated by the Owners Federation, and smashed the windows of these and other premises. During the after- noon there was another outbreak, and the angry crowd resorted to such violence that the police, ámid a hail of missiles, were ordered lo charge the disturbers with thier truncheons. As a result a number of persons, some innocent. onlookers, were injured. Military reinforce ments arrived in the evening, when the Riot Act was read. A fire, suspected to be the act of an incendiary, broke out in a timber yard, and up to a late hour the town" remained in a turbulent state.

A SPORTSMAN WHO DOES NOT BET. In an interview with Sir Thomas 'Liptor, which appears in the September number of the Windsor Magazine, it is interesting to learn that Sir Thomas Lipton is a sportsman who does not bet. Speaking of recreations in general, Sir Thomas says:
"It is hardly necessary to ask me if I am a believer in Saturday's half-holiday and Sun- day's rest. It is a mistake, mentally and physically, for any man to work seven days without ceasing, however young and strong he, may be, and however ardent to make strides in business.
