THE EVIL ON OVER-TRAINING
KACE-HORSES,
Girth-stretching gallops ion oft repeated have lost many more races than they have won, says the Asian in an interesting article, comparing the work of a Cesuewitch horse and a Vice- roy's Cup horse :--
TORE TOPICS,”
Enthusiastic sports were again on the course at an early hour this morning and enjoyed a number of interesting gallops. At half-past six it was very dark indeed, and one could hardly ree ahead. Later on, however, when it became light, there was plenty of good running to be seen and many criticisms to be heard at the rails,' A Cup borsa probably comes nut on Monday Some half a dozen ladies appeared at the morning after his day off on Sunday, during Grand Stand long before the breakfast hour, which he has done little cise but mild walking and are to be congratulated upon such enthuexercise led by his syce morning and evening, siasm so early in the training season.
and is indulged with about 31 miles trotting and cantering, which he gets through, say about 8 am, or sometimes before then back to stables dress and feed, and a quiet stroll and frequently "roll," de, walking work in tead in company with the long string of his stable companions. On Tuesday, presuming he has not been "opened out" since the latter half of last week and that he is a bit short of a gallop, Mr. Trainer will probably send him out to trot and canter a mile and a half, and there will generally be a speedy stable com panion waiting for him at the mile post to bring him along for half of the homeward journey, and another ready to jump into keep him busy over the last half. Off home he goes immedi- ately after he has had the heavy dew taken off bim and given, possibly, a roll in a sand bath. Wednesday will probably see him at 2-33-casy work over his customary two circuits of

Just now the Japanese are quite close to Port Arthur. They have attacked two of my redoubts. One of them-the Aqueduct one- was defended by my company-three platoons against a whole regiment, The struggle lasted twenty-seven hours. During twenty of them the enemy lay hidden in the outer ditch. At last 1 sent another company, and ten minutes later the Japanese fled. Nine hundred corpses are lying there.
Another redoubt, that of the idol Temple, was defended by any third company, also against a regiment, The, commander was gravely wounded, the junior etficer, Lieutenant Panee, was killed, but the Japanese fee, leaving 80 corpses. There is no passibility whatever of removing them. The stench everywhere is terrible.
To the right of me, in the 25th Regiment, the Japanese have seized two redoubts, and stick to them so closely that it is impossible to dislodge them, but they will not break through. Enormous numbers of them perish at every attack. They crawl forward like locusts, and all the mass is turned into pieces of flesh.
It is a remarkable enemy-clever, cunning, brave, with great knowledge. War with therm will cause a great revolution in military art The number of the Japanese diminishes with every attack, but it is reported that a reinforce ment-of-39,000-mon-iwas-arrived-for-them-to- day.

When will Kuropatkin come to the rescue? No one knows. If he could come more quick ly, then we could strike from here, he from the North.

As to surrender, there can be no question of it. There is yet foud enough. The meat is coming to an end, but there is much of every- else, and we shall not starve. The troops are well; there is no illness. I have moved my quarters to the most dangerous position, in order that may take measures when the enemy attacks. Since 26th June I have not undressed I sleep in my uniform on a camp bed. At night I do not sleep much. I keep watch. In the day time I lie down sometimes, The days pass with terrible speed. Before one has had time to think, a month has passed. And we have fought seven months already.

After being proposed for many seasons and ardently discussed, though never yet carried out it has now been definitely decided to send a football team to Shanghai this coming Chinese New Year, to try conclusions with the nothera port in the great winter pastime on Interpost lines. The Shanghai Football Club having again challenged our local cracks, it has been resolved to accept. The probables Morrel, F. Grane, W. H. donald, R. Macpher so far selected are-Messrs. F. H. Kew, G.

This list, selected by Mr. W. 11.
