A YARN CASE
AT THE SUPREME COURT.
The Puisne Judge, Mr. A. G. Wise, heard an action at the Supreme Court this morning in which the Sui Yuk firm of traders, of 23 Hillier Street sought to recover from the Hing Shing firm of traders, of 48 Wing Lot Street the sum of $461.39 monies due respecting a yarn transaction. The sum of Sz18 had been paid into Court.
Mr. fl W. Leaker (Mesars. Deacon, Looker and Deacon) represented plaintiffs, and Mr. J. Hastings appeared for the defendant.
In the course of a preliminary argument on a point of law, Mr Hastings said, although the matter appeared somewhat complicated it re- solved itself into a very small issue. The whole question rested on a question of the con- tract so bales of yarn, ai Stoó per bale, plas commissi n at three-quarter per cent He maintained that plaintiffs, by refusing to give defendants delivery of the yarn, which they had set off against another go bales at $103. had not carried out the contract. Defendants argued no such contract as that existed and, therefore, charged them with damages sustained through plaintiffs having falled to carry out the first contract respecting the robales of yarn at WAR FUNDS.

Great improvements have been made in the entrance and surroundings of the buildings, and the icvelling of the ground immediately to the west of the College has been a great boon to the students. while the addition of new offices on
east side has materially added to their comfort. Internally, three Class Rooms, each capable of accommoda. ting about thirty pupils, have been taken in. These have increased the facilities for in- dividual teaching, have landed to decrease the noise consequent on so many classes being conducted simultaneously in the Central Hall, and thus improved the discipline. Beyond the possession of Maps and Globes, the College is but scantily provided with apparatus, and if the subjects of the curriculum are to be efficiently taught, the College should be equipped with must modern appliances. Nothing handicaps
a teacher more than the lack o material and
apparatus where with to illustrate his subject On June 27, three additional teachers, for the Society, arrived from Englaud. One of these (Mr. Nichol) was appointed Assistant Master in the Honam College, while Messrs. Hamilton and Scott were retained as Assistant Masters here. Both of these gentlenten have had considerable experience in teaching, and are conversant with the most modern methods of imparting instruction. To them and the members of the Anglo-Chinese Staff, I am much indebted for able and cheerfully-render- ed assistance.
In December, 1902, the Council bad under consideration the desirability of placing the Co lege under the Government Grant-in-Aid Scheme, and correspondence with the Inspec tor of Schools took place. As however a New Educational Code was in course of prepara. tion, the matter was deferred till its completion in June, 1953, and the College came under the aegis of the Educational department on ist July following. That the College will benefi by this change, I will leave the Inspector of Schools-who has so kindly consented to pre- sion lo-day to convince you.
In 1901 and 190r education at this College was free, but while Free Education is, in itself, an excellent thing, it has, when confined to one institution in a district, disadvantages,, which will, doubtless, occur to many of you. These di-advantages so influenced the Council that it was decided to charge a fee of $24, per annum, and this regulation has been in force during the past year.
In all, four hundred and forty-one pupils were enrolled for 1903, and the highest num ber present on any one day was three hundred and twenty-two. The number of teaching days was two hundred and forty.
I regret to say that, only two students made the complete number of attendances, and these will rece ve special prizes, but I understand the Council has, in contemplation, "a scheme by which those who make, say nine tenths of the possible number of attendances, will receive a more suitable reward. Anything which will tend to check the great irregularity in attend- ance is worthy of serious consideration.
The Annual Examination, conducted by my self, began on Monday, 18th inst, and was continued throughout that and the four suc- ceeding days The examination of the Chinese Division took place on the three school days immediately following. A Table of Results is is attached to this eport. As it is rather long I will not enter into the details, but simply state the percentage of passes in each subject, for all the class-Reading, 99.1 per cent.; arithmetic, 84.6 per cent; dictation, 746 per cent.; English colloquial, 76 per cent.; trusla- tion, (C. to E) 93 per cent. ;translation (E. to C.) 93 per cent.; grammar, $3.5 per cent.; history 100 per cent.; English composition, 76 per cent; mensuration 93.7 per cent.; science, 75 per cent. Geography 69 per cent.
Recognizing the great importance of Colio. quial much time and attention have been devoted to this subject. 1, personally, ex- amined every pupil in this branch, and satisfied myself that the method we have adopted, of teaching Colloquial in even the lowest classes, by means of pictorial illustration and a ci llection of familiar objects, is destined to produce the best results. In classes få and Via the pass in this subject was 100 per cent.
As will be seen from the figures just quoted, the results obtained in geography were not satisfactory. This is a subject that seems to have few attractions for Chinese boys, and the clans-books at pre ent in use do not treat the subject in the most attractive manner.
that, by the generosity of the Chinese com- I am also pleased to be able to announce
munity, the College has received one of the Blake scholarships of the value of $50 per

MR. IRVING'S SPEECH.
AT
ROYAL
CITY HALL,
TO-MORROW-
(WEDNESDAY) and THURSDAY, 3rd and 4th February, 1904.
After the prizes had been presented by Mr. BOXING! BOXING! BOXING! the scholars studied Sheridan or not; but if Irving, he said that he did not know whether
they did they would remember the question put by Mrs. Malaprop to Jack Absolute—'Are you like Celebus, two gentlemen in one?' He had heard that it was also the day on which the Queen's College distribution of prizes took place, on whose governing board he was, and he felt that he too would like to have been like
Celebus. The Hongkong College was estab lished in 1901, and it was the first of a series of schools in exis ence in Hongkong, Canton and Shanghai. After complimenting the College on the beautiful building it possessed, which he compared to the schools erected by the early Athenians, Mr. Irving went on to speak
of the teaching by the Chinese Assistants. The English staff did not come by their knowledge of teaching by chance, but by learning, and he printed out that Mr. Willams, of Saiyingpun school, had decided to give lessons to Chinese assistants in the art of teaching. Irregular | attendance at school was another point which was touched upon by Mr. Irving. He had jttst presented two boys with prizes for having been present, at school every day for the past term, and expressed his pleasure at so doing. The attendance of Chinese at school
was unfortunately irregular, and he addressed a few words to the boys on the importance of being regular in their attendance at school, which would prove of inestimable value to them when they grew to be men. In concluding, he expressed his thanks to Mr. Braidwood for being allowed the privilege to present the prizes, and wished that the masters and boys would enjoy their holidays.
Mr. Lau Chu Pak in a few words thanked Mr. Irving for his presence, and also for the able speech he had made.
The proceedings closed with three cheers for the Inspector of Schools.

The fact was that a telegram was sent from Hen Hu l'an, all Canton was panic-stricken. THE Undersigned have received instructions after the fall of the cursin. Hongkong to the foreign Consuls at Hya Mien, stating that arms had been secretly purchased in Hongkong and were about to be smuggled into the interior, and that prompt steps should be taken for their search. Just a day before the telegram something that tended to increase the alarm of the people happened. At a dis- tance, not far from the Military-supply Depart ment, the guards noticed some people of a very suspicious character. This was reported to the Military Department, and soon telegraphic communications were exchanged, and all the military authorities were instructed to keep a vigilant watch on the situation. Soon after the Inngkong telegram was received, the Viceroy instructed the General to spare no pains to hunt down the secret-society men as well as to spy out their movements. Day and pight special soldiers were kept on the alert, ever ready against emergencies. It was not, however, till some time afterwards that fear was dispelled.
