THE PIRE AT CANTON
MANY LIVES REPORTED LOST.
in connection with a telegram published in our columas last evening, our Cantou cor respondent has now forwarded further parti- exlars, from which we gather that the fire started carly in the morning at Taiung lou, just north of the canal separating 5hmien from
Canton City proper. The district is the nightly resort of the Chinese on pleasure ben, and with a comparatively small area there are hundreds of hotels, drinking houses and gam. bling booths. Furtunately, only a very slight wind was blowing at the time of the outbreak, and the flames mede ao more than ordinary progress. Halot been for the fact that the fire brigade is equipped with very antiquat- ed appliances the conflagration might easily have been kept from spreading. When it was seen that the flames were geuing beyond the control of the firement, houses were pulled down
in order to contine the outbreak within a limat ed area, and our correspondent understands that close upon 200 buildings were treated in this way. At the time of writing no one had been able to form any estimate of the value of pro- perty destroyed, but it was known that a num ber of women who frequent the locality had lost their lives. The native, police assert that no less than twenty persons fell victims to the flames.
THIVES SHOT DOWN..
proof of thi. I may point out that almost all the
principal firms of architects and civil engineers now in Hongkong have been founded by gentlemen who were sent out by the Colonial Office at the Colony's expense. Mr. Shewan agrees that Sir Henry Blake meant well and was in many respects an aule Governor. He defends his own Administration, and tries to make out that everything was for the best in the best of all possible Colonies. He says that Professor Simp.on visited the Colony at his request, but be forgets to add that this was forced upon him and that his Government did nothing until the community took the matter in band publicly and appointed a committee, which drew up and forwarded a petition to the home Government for inquiry, resulting in Messrs. Chadwick and Simpson being sent out. The want of water, the state of the roads, the backwardness of all Government work, the ridiculous Admiralty Dock, overcrowding of Chinese, &c., are all evils that I might touch upon, but I must not trespass too greatly on
your space.

This bright and sparkling comedy afford. ed plenty of fun and genuine pmusement to another crowded house at the Theatre Royal the great popularity of the play at home, last evening. Many readers will remember
ind will doubtless take the opportunity this. evening of witnessing its performance by the Dallas Company. As they may remember, the piece opens at a little place called Market Mallory, where we are troduced to three unsophisticated maidens, the daughters of the Vicar, and in a charming trio, they reveal the lile of rustic simplicity they had been accust- umed to lead, which appears to have got some- what too tame for them. They had never seen London, or a real five Landon swell, and they were all burning with curiosity to experience these delights. Lady St. Mailury teen goes to they have been yearning for.

The Lamaistic Church has been recognised, supported, and, when necessary, controlled with a solicitude quite foreign to the methods of the Chinese Government ut China proper, and the result of this policy has been a curious equilibrium of the social forces and a tempering of the natural disposition which seems to have removed the Mongols from the list of aggres sive (aces,

Lurd Cheyne, who is one of the three happy men, is a character with a long pedigree, and, as he puts if himself, a "fearful past." He has got an idea that it is the correct thing to play "gawf," as it is pronounced in the vern Racing is the national pastime in Mongolia.acular, but he seems to be under the delusion Frem May to August puny races are the that the sport is related to the game of billiards, Traction at the temple festivals and fairs. As the prizes are comparatively insignificant, and serious betting is seldom heard of, il is evident that a real love of spirt is part of the Mongohan character. Competition is al ways teen and "the gossip texograph of the steppe" assures winners of a reputation curiously tenacious and widespread. The "Derby" of Mongolia, which takes place near Urga under the direct patronage of the priest, or Bagdo, is a contest over 30 miles of rough steppe. The 1gdo's patronage, a appears, is not quite disinterested. He becomes the possessor of all the winners, and is supposed to maintain them in honourable idleness for the rest of their-lives.
Mr. Campbell gives a capital account of a race meeting which took place near a temple at flaliutai, "I could not help reflecting," be says, "that a race meeting with a bishop in the judge's box, a public chiefly clencši, nu book- makers or betting, and nominal prizes, would in England be the closets analogue of the odd spectacle.'

This gives Mr. Percival Knight, as Lor Cheyne, an op, ortunity of introducting a bit of smart light comedy bustness, which cuinates in a regular roar of laughter when he goes off to the bunker to take a long drive, and comes back a moment after with a square foot of turl and tells the caddie he is awfully sorry he has cut the cloth. Of course, there is not very much in the plot itsell, but the hearty swing with which t sweeps along keeps everyone in the best of humour and, ever and anou, convulsed with

The names of owners and descriptions of ponies were jotted down on a scrap of paper by a perambulating clerk, and at 1.23 p.m. the field, twelve in all, straggled at a walk in the direction of Chagan Balgas. It cost me an effort to understand that this was the "start." Munes were decorated with strips of coloured silk, the long tuls were bound in the middle by taif-a-dozen co.is of red card, and the bridles, single snaffles with raw-hide reins, were each embellished by a round dise of burnished silver attached to the head band.

The letter is dated August 26, 1892. We quote from it the following (the italics are Spencer's own):
