The Temprays that the Japanese - Mini- ster has called on M. Delcasse in reference to certain points relating to the observance of neutrality. There are grounds for believ- ing that divergences of interpretation exist which, however, should not be exaggerated and will soon be removed; France having hitherto reconciled her cuties as an ally of Russia to those of a neutral; while Japan appreciates the uprightness of her intentions in this delicate situation.

The enthusiasm is as unique as the espirit de corps is great which animates every one of the promoters to render the gathering on the evening of the 26th inst. a conspicuous success. When it is mentioned that two perhaps of the most popular gentlemen In the city have been approached, and have accepted the presidency and vice-presidency of the ball, respectively, it is sufficient to assure for the social function a complete success, Dr. L. P. Marques, the highly esteemed medico and formerly of Hongkong, is appointed the chairman of the committee, being assisted as his deputy by a gentleman whose popularity is as great as the regard in which he is held in the junior service here. He is Dr. A. Espectação d'Almeida. Associated with them on the committee are the following: Meists. A. A. d'Eça, A. V. C. Freitas, Carlos Cabral, F. X da Silva, J. Deréria, J. C. Fer- nandes and the officers of the Portuguese gun- boat Diu, Messra, F. L. Ramor and L. Caes. As co-adjutors of the commiuce bave been appoint ed Messrs. Nolasco, da Silva, Jr., D. Ribeiro 1. Ribeiro, Jr., Lieut. Lopes, Annibal Henriques, Luiz dos Remedios, Carlos d'Assumpção,, Gil Pereira and J. Gomes. The decoration sub-committee will consist of G.`da Rocha, Nolasco, Jr., and B. d'Azevedo; and the excel Ient caterers, Messrs. E. Jorge, J. V. jorge and C. d'Assumpção will have control of the ar rangements in the supper room.
The Bachelor' Ball is the first of its kind within the recollection of "the oldest inhabitant” of Macao and as such these worthy gentlemen pre sparing no effort and are liberal with their contributions to provide their brothers, the Benedicks, and their better halves an evening's entertainment which will do honour to the guests and reflect credit to the genial hosts the single gentlemen of Macao. To the end that the convivial gathering will be a perfectly representativeone, the invitations issued include all friends of tha promoters and their friends not only in this calony, but in Hongkong, Canton and the neighbouring ports. They have also been addressed to the commanders and (fficers of the foreign gunboats that usually visit the port, besides, of court, the officials in - the government service and the officers of the local garrison and of the muguese Navy. Representatives of the Presa in Hongkong will alio be invited. It is understood that H. E. the Governor and Madame Montene gro have expressed their intention of doing honour to the bachelors by being present. at the ball on the evening of the 26th ias. The executive and members of the committea, will be deputed to call upon the Governor officially to extend a cordial invitation to His Most Frühful Majesty's representative and his consort, The number of invitations issued to date amount to no less than 450 and from the replies already received the gathering is sure to include in its number no less than a hundred fadies,

Venomous snakes appear to abound in the districts around Macao that are frequented by sportsmen. Not long ago a dog of one of the local sports was stung by one of these reptiles
and died almost immediately after. To-day a fine pointer belonging to Mr. F. P. Marques, our greatest enthusinst in all that concerns shooting, had the misfortune of being bitten by a snake out in the field. On returning home

of the bite.
HARMSTON'S CIRCUS.
OPENING NIGHT.
The British steamer. Choysang` arrived in harbour from Shanghai shortly before eight o'clock yesterday morning, with the members of Harmston's Circus and Royal Menagerie aboard. Being Sunday no move could be made towards getting the many requirements ashore, although, as usual with live stock on a ship, the management were permitted to land their interesting collection of animals which created quite a sensation among a large crowd of conlies. The trip down was most enjoyable, the monotony being relieved by a glimpse of several Japanese warships which **ebased" the steamer when some twelve hours out from Shanghai. Everything, however, was in order and the battlecraft withdrew upon learning the name and flag of the unoffending merchant- man. As will be seen from an announcement elsewhere in this issue, the circus opens at Causeway Bay this evening, when an attractive programme will be carried out, and about
which we shall have more to say to-morrow.
BOXING AT THE METROPOLE
HOTEL.
The grand assault-at-army advertised to take place at the Metropole Hotel on Saturday, had, for a variety of reasons, to be postponed In the first place, owing to counter attractions, notably the open air fele on the Cricket Ground, the attendance was unusually small, whilst owing to the non-arrival of the Choysang until yesterday moming, two of the advertised performers bad peforce to be cut out of the bill Rather than disappoint, however, those who did put in an appearance, Jack McAuliffe, the famous pugilist and athlete, gave a really admirable calisthenic display, his axe swinging being particularly neat, whilst the ease with whith he manipulated Indian clubs evoked loud applause. Afterwards an impromptu ten round bout between Armstrong and Francis, both of the Navy, took
place Both men were in first class fettle, and gave a rattling exhibition. Mr. W. Waters was the referee, and ultimately gave his verdict declaring the match to be drawn. On the return an interesting sprint on the road took place between a well known journalist and a prominent local athlete. The outcome of tall talk, the race was only for fifty yards, but quite a large sum of money was won and lost. The pencil smasher lost easily,

The lights were bearing two points on their port bow Afterwards the lights drew ahead of them, and he estimated, although it was very difficult to say, that the Wongkoi was perhaps half mile ahead when he saw the lights.

Their stem was twisted round to starboard and corresponding bow plates were buckled.
