OF COMMERCE.
The following correspondence has been sent to us for publication:-
15 rounds for a stake of $250, and a purse of HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER $600. Bentley recognises that in Smith he has a pretty hard nut to crack, and is training hard, no doubt, however, he will be the favourite as he has so often put up a good fight, in Hongkong. His last opponent was Phillips, who, he got rid of after a stiff encounter. If fit arid well when he enters the ring be should just about pull off the event. On the other hard Smith has won good 'competitions in Hongkong, having beaten tough men, including Tom Phillips, whom he knocked out in six rounds. Both Beatley and Smith are middle-weight fighters, and if they make a fair go when in the ring they will receive every support from us, and, though there is no reason for believing, otherwise, should there be the slightest suspicion of an arrage ment having heen made regarding the decision, they may know what to expect at the hands of this paper.

Hongkong, 19th May, 1900. Sir, have the honour to acknowledge. receipt of your letter of the 5th instant (No 800) informing this Chamber that a tender had been received by the Government for, the sola privilege of collecting ashes from steam vesse s within the harbour limits, and requesting their opinion upon the desirability or otherwise of creating such a monopoly,
2-This question has had the prompt can sideration of the Committee, who, as the result of careful inquiry and deliberation, feel bound to record an opinion adverse to the proposal.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. A. C. Ward gave another of his enjoyable organ recitals at St John's Cathedral, it being one of the musical events of the season. He was assisted by Mrs. W. H. Anderson, who contributed two numbers on the programme. She has never been heard to better advantage, as the two selections she gave, were admirably suited to her well trained voice, although the acoustics of St. John's are not all that could be desired and are very trying to a singer. Her first solo) was "The Lord is 'my light" by Frances Allitsen, the words being taken from Psalm 27. This is one of Allitsen's masterpieces, and is of a character not usually 3. At first blush the project appears free expected from a female composer, being from'serious objection and calculated to obviate throughout forceful and full of majesty, Itin some degree an admitted evil, namely, the goes over a range of two full nctaves and it dumping of ashes into the harbour, thereby showed to perfection the dramatic power causing the foreshore to sit up.
