OWNERS of the British caller Foxton Hall, which was detained at Port Arthur from the time of the first attack made by the Japanese until early in March and which suffered dam. age during her detention, have received com- pensation from the Russian Government. The speedy settlement of the clain by Russia has greatly gratified ship owners. WHEN the Algon went on the rocks at Point Bonita recently, a San Francisco firm demand ed $to8,000 to repair her, while a Victoria firm put in a bid for $44,000. It was announced that the great difference was due not alone to the fact that in Frisco the dockage charge was $3,000, as against $6,000 in the north, but to the high wages demanded by the San Francisco workinginen.

THE PILOTS ORDINANCE,
Consequent upon the extremely crowded condition of the harbour, to which we refer red a few weeks since, the, shipping commun- ity approached the Government earlier in the year with a view to obtaining some safe- guard that persons who offered themselves as pilots within the waters of the Colony were capable of performing their duties. The outcome of these representations was the designing and passing of an Ordinance for exercising certain control over the existing so-called pilots and thus establishing a pro- perly constituted pilot service. Although several months appear to have clapsed since the Legislative Council considered and adopted the Bill the matter has not been lost sight of by the Government, for we un derstand that a board is now being consti- tuted for the purpose of examining the quali- fications of persons offering themselves as pilots within the waters of Hongkong. Those who are at present practising as such are not licensed or qualified in the sense of having passed under examination, or had the approv. A. S.

At the Supreme Court this morning, the Puisne Judge (Mr. T.

It is interesting to note that a special prize will be awarded to the winner of most points in non-handicap events, to be presented by the Chairman, Mr. Arthur Chapman, the condi tlons being first place ten points; second place four points, and third place one point.
Mrs. Barnes-Lawrence will distribute the prizes (which by the way will be about the best the Club has hitherto been able to gather) at the conclusion of the sports on the off-day- Saturday week.
Details of to-day's sport will have publication to-morrow..
As briefly outlined, in our issue of yesterday evening, the first day's spor: in connection with the annual aquatic tournament of the V. R. C. was most successful, and in almost every instance good times were recorded. The stand was crowded with enthusiastic natatory devotees, and the favourites were heartily applauded as the popular predictions were verified.
