Each squad of prisoners was escorted from the various stations by a number of foreign and Sikh policemen with shouldered arms and fixed Lup by a body of native pot ce, as they passed along the streets they were watched by large numbers of curious natives who thronged the roads and fool paths and at some places, it was almost in possible to pass.

Since then a change has been necessitated owing to the receipt, in the Colany, of a cable to the effect that His Royal Highness will not be puuceeding 19 Canton whither it was arranged he should gn in company with Sir Ernest Satow, We understand that his Lord ship the Chiel Justice, Sir Francis T. Piggoll, as chairman of the Reception, Committee, has intimated this fact to the members as a result of which it is probable that the sky race meeting' may have to be abandoned. If Prince Arthur arrives hire on the gth Febru ary and leaves for the North two days later there would be no necessity for an addi tional meeting, although if our 'Royal guest remains in the Colony until the 14th," the

Advices, however, have been received from Shanghai nolifying the stewards that jockeys will be unable to come here and ride and owners be able to send ponies to race on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd March as in that event it would be im possible to race the animals again at Shanghai In April Therefore, the stewards of the Hong kong Jockey Club decided to abandon the idea of holding the annual race meeting on the 1st, and and 3rd March as originally intended, and the date of the fixture will depend upon, what announcements are now made in connection with the vikit of Prince Arthur to Hongkong.
