SATURDAY'S GALLOPS.
Again there was a very fair attendance of JOHN ROBERTS :-A letter received in Pen- onlookers on the Race Course this moming and some good gallops were witnessed. The going.seemed a trifle better, showing that the panties responsible are doing their utmost with the means at their disposal to batter the exist. ing state of things, and it is not their fault that the ground is so trying to the performers. While on this subject there is one thing we would draw attention to, and that is the volume of smoke that comes from the Chinese village at the back end of the lower part of the course. Until nearly 7 a.m., if the morning be calm, it is impossible to observe the forin of the gallopers and, to a certain extent, to obtain the times from the mile finishing up the strait. We learn that the nuisance arises from the burning of rubbish by the Sanitary Board and if this is so, we feel assured that Dr. Clark, M.O.. will stop the practise for an hour or so on the tivo mornings a week when the timings take place, and if the smoke arises from the Chiness vil lage we can safely leave the abatement in the hands of Capt. Badeley of the police. We are, confident that the two gentlemen mentioned will willingly accede to the those most interested, if the matter belongs to either of their departments, and now that it is brought to their notice.

THE COAL FIELDS OF GREAT BRITAIN: -A Royal Commission, including coal owners colliers, shipping interests and experts, has been appointed to enquire into the extent of the resources and the probable rate of exhaus, of the coal fields in Great Britain. GREAT STORMS have occurred throught England, and immense damage has been done. Floods in the eastern and middle States have swept the towns, driving many people from their homes and washing out miles of railway tracks. Two shipwrecks have occurred off the coast of New Jersey.
A LIVING LANDSCAPE is the latest novelty for table decoration. A dwarf Japanese tree is the salient feature, and the rest is made up of rocks and mounds and mossy dells, with some times a stream of water full of little goldfish. The landscapes are placed in an oblong Japa. nese dish, from eight to twelve inches long. THE SANITARY BOARD held a meeting at noon to-day for the purpose of considering certain recommendations made by Professor Simpson, the sanitary expert. The Press, how ever, were not admitted though they were after wards informed that the meeting, which only occupied a few minutes, had been adjourned till Tuesday next at ten o'clock.

HONGKONG SHARE MARKET.
Messrs. Benjamin, Kelly and Potts, in their weekly share report state-·
HONGKONG, Friday, January 24th. During the past week business has continued slack, and the general tendency of the market has been downward. In nearly all good securities there has been a depreciation in value-more especially in Hongkong and Shanghai Banks, Hongkong and Whampoa Docks, Hongkong Lands and China Sugars— white in almost all other stocks quotations have been merely maintained.
Banks-Hongkong and Shanghai Banks continue to drift downwards, and are now in the market at $629. The London rate has also
declined to 64. Subject to audit, the Directors will recommend at the forthcoming Meeting the payment to shareholders of a final dividend of 30 shillings and a bonus of 10 shillings per share; "transfer $500,000 to Silver Reserve Fund, which will then stand at $4,250,000;
