A FINE BATCH OF FONIES.
The longest day has an end. For some weeks past Hongkong sportsmen have grown anxious as to the arrival of the subscription coloured griffins for the coming races. Many rumours pony is on the small side but were current to the effect, that there was a | ones scarcity of poules in North Chine and it was feared that the Shangbai Horse Bazaar might not be able to meet the order from Hougkong, and should they be able to get the required number of griffins, the animals would not be up to the standard. There were doubts also as to whether the ponies would be able to pass the time test. Quite a few alluded to the price of the ponies and we believe from this and other rumours they concluded that, the races would be held very late this season, or if suff- cient ponics could not be had the race carnival would have unavoidably to be abandoned These rumours fell through when a Tele graph representative Interviewed Mr. T.

It is reported that the Central Government at Peking is discussing the advisability of order that the President's efforts last summer to.ing the suspension of the copper money mints allay the indignation of the Chinese by a cir- culár of instructions to the American. Minis- ter to China and consular officers therein had in a measure failed of its purpose and required considerable amendment to secure the object sought. Mr. Rockhill himself re- ported that it had not been found possible to carry out the instructions contained in the circular without doing great injustice to worthy Chinese and imposing burdens too heavy to be borne upon the American Con suls. It will be remembered that, when Secretary Taft was in Hongkong on his re- tùm visit from the Philippines with the Con-
