SPORT AT-MACAO.
TOURNAMENT AT THE FOREIGNERS' TENNIS CLUB.
At the invitation of the members of the Macao Foreigners' Lawn Tennis Club, the Naval, the Military, and the Harmonia Tennis Clubs met on the grounds of their hosts to Lake part in a series of games organized by the Club. Besides tennis, which was the most pa- tronized, ping-pong, bucket-quoits and bad- mington also attracted large entries. Thurs- day, the 18th ult, was the opening day; and long before the appointed hour, the picturesque grounds of the Foreigners Tennis Club were being filled with the invited guests and the, representatives of the various tennis clubs of Macao.
The weather conditions on the fint day made it an ideal one for tenals. Presentations over, the various games were begun with keen anti- cipation. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, the continuation of the games was rendered impossible in the following afternoon.. Play, however, was resumed on the following week-days and the guests were again invited to witness the finals which took place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday last. Most of the games were closely contested. In the gentlemen's doubles, the scales of fortune should, by right, have been more propitious to Mesara. Brenan and McKay, Had play ceased for the day when "the shades of night were falling fast" there is no doubt but that the re- sult would have been quite different. This event, however, finally fell to Lieut. L. Cor. deiro ant Mr. A. Silva who beat Messis, Batto and Mello. In the gentlemen's singles Messa Basto and Mello played a very hard-fought game against each other, the latter beating Mr. McKay in the final sets.
The ladies' doubles, which was won by Mrs. and Miss Barnes Lawrence (who, by the way, were on a visit to Macao from Hongkong) pro duced also a very close and exciting finish. The vigorous play of these two ladies and their timely placing evoked frequent applause, the score being 8 to 4 in best of 15 games. No less exciting was the ladies' single, which was won by Miss Barnes-Lawrence, Miss Azedo, her opponent, losing the set by a games, the score being 7 to 9 games, in best of 15 games.
Mr. A. Basto and Miss Aredo won the mixed doubles with comparative ease from Miis Eça and Mr. A. Silva
The ladies' ping-pong was won by Miss Manners, Misa Oiero being a close second. The games played by Mrs. Farmer being also much appreciated by the large crowd of on-lookers.
The bucket-quaits fell to Miss Atedo and Mr. A. Silvn, the latter scoring his last four quoits in succession, and thereby snatching the Kame from Mr. and Mrs. A. Busto, who played a fine game throughout,
At the termination of the games, Mr. Brenas, the hon. president and rec. of the Macao Foreigners Tennis Club, invited the distin guished assembly formed of the elite of Mazao to witness the distribution of the hand ome prizes to a suitable speech Mr. Brenan invited Miss Tebbit to present the prizes to the successful competitors, and thanked everyone present for having accepted the Club's invita tion,

THE CHINESE EXCLUSION.
N. C. D. News.
The China Times, Tientsin, comments as follows upon the recent Race Club fracas :-
It is one of the virtues claimed for sport and for social clubs alike that they promote bon- homie and concord. In an international set. tlement like that of Tientsin they certainly ought to do this and, if they fail to do so, they lose a great part of any raison d'etre they may have. The town was full of stories yesterday of a particularly unfortunate wind-up of the three days' race meeting, which, unless friend ship is re-cemented in a generous spirited fashion, may neutralise the beneficial results otherwise to be derived from this annual spring gathering.

So she restricts the family

The discussion developed into at altercation, and from words, we are sorry to say, two members came to blows, Still more un fortunately the stand-up fight which followed was given an international character, by the fact that one of the men was an Englishman and the other a German. The German mem- bors. of the Club took the matter to beart sa much that they threatened secession in a body from the Club. Be that as it may, we fear that in a few heated moments a great deal of harm was done to the best interests of the Race Club and the Tientsin Club, and to the feeling of solidarity which has existed and ought to

In 1894 the Governments of Chips and the United States, animated by a strong desire to a manner reciprocally amicably settle, in beneficial to the interests of the people of both nations, the question of the coming of Chinese labourers into the United States, which the experience acquired since the signing of the first treaty between China and Americs on this subject, had shown required Imponent revision, concluded a new treaty covering this subject, and for a period of ten years.
