ASATERDAY'S GYMKHANA;
THIRD MEATİNG.
A fairly good attendance, considering the excessive heat, witnessed the third gymkhana. of the season on Saturday afternoon last. The racing on the whole was very interesting, though very small dividends, except in the fast tace, were the order of the afternoon.
H. E de Governor Sir Matthew Nathan arrived on the scene in time to witness the first event, and appeared to thoroughly enjoy the whole of the programme, while the West Kents Band played some pretty selections,
Mr. G. C. Master had a field day. He had four mounts during the afternoon and was first on three occasions, and a very close second the other:
The strong sun which shone down appeared to be very trying to the jockeys, who ured divers means to protect themselves front the direct rays. One had a red s lk handkerchief 'folded under his.cap and fluttering to the breeze, whilst others had bansboo or plantain leaves, the remainder going to the post with sun-bats

A most successful trip was that made by the a.a. Loong Wo, the latest steamer built by the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co, Ld., for the Yangtze River trade, Some eighty guests were present, and all were full of expressions of applause at the latest developmeni nithe powers of the Dock Co, in turning out such a fios boat. Over the measured mile she acquired an aver age speed of 138 knots on four trials, two with and two against the tide. The trial trips over, lunch was served in the handsomely uphols tered saloon, after which Mesars. Dickson, Wilson and Sinclair made short speechies in praise of the achievement of the Dock Com pany.

LAWN TENNIS GILAMPIONSHIP,
VEGETARIAN 75, BEEFEATER.
Beans and beefsteak have very sittle apparent connection with each other, except when on the plate and eaten together. Yet the bean and beefsteak combination has caused a good deal of speculation in the athletic world at home. It all arose from Mr. Eustace Miles (England)) beating Mr. Jay Gould (America) bỳ three sets to one in the match at Queen's Club for the amateur tennis championship. The real in terest in the match centred round the fact that Mr. Milca lives on beant and Mr. Goald en beefsteak, in other words it was a case of vegetarianism against the other and more common mode of living. The pace is des cribed as having been tremendous throughout, but Miles possessed the vegetarian stupina and he carried off the match. At least this is how the vegetarians put -despite the fact that there is just a possibility he was a consi derably better player, as well as a bean-eater, To our mind, says the Eastern Daily Mad, the question whether the vegetarian has any real advantage over the meat-eater, in athletic exercises, is a point that can only be settled when vegetarians are far more common than they are at the present day, for then there will be the opportunity of putting a collective body of vegetarian athleticism against a collective body of the other kind, and a much more trustworthy test will be possible. The ve getarian in this Colony, not likely to sur vive the ordeal long; we fancy he would have a poor. time of it. It is bad enough to have to get through some of our meals with meat included," but the vegetarian which is not saying that people here do not eat too much ineal, To our thinking they do, because they have no really wholesome vegetable:
le supply. But as re gards its influence on athleticism re,etarianism has got a good deal to teach us yet; and though there have been great rejoicings in quarters where vegetarians congregate over the victory of Eustace Miles,, who has been literally "built on beans," we prefer to think that there are still advantages on the side of the meat-eater which will be sufficient even to produce a tennis player who will beat Mr. Miles-pothwithstanding his beans. Wa should not be at all surprised to see him yet get "beans" at the hands of a "beefeater."
ANOTHER MAKING MINE CAZASTROPHE,
That the danger of mines (marine not teries- frial) is not yet over, says the landow Daily News bi Bib inst., is evinced by the fact that a Russion steamer, the Knojs. Gashabağ, some five or six days ago struck one of these Boating terrors in the neighbourhood of Vladivostock and after a short while sank. The officers and crew were saved and Captain Ohosting of the steamer Hermann Lerche, now in this pott, will pick them up in Shanghai on his way home 10 Odessa.

STEALING TRAM ZICKETS.
FULL PENALTY IMPOSED.
Leung Kit, a conductor, amplayed By the Tramear Company, was charged before Mr.F. A. Hazeland, at the Magistracy this morning at the instance of Inspector Gourlay, with steal- ing, on Saturday last, 100 tickets, valued at $5, the property of the Company. The defendant denied the charge, aversing that he did not know the tickets were in his box. Evidence
had arrived.
Of Manchuria as a country Mr. Wrightson speaks most enthusiastically. "A second Man
described it, a country therefore of vast com
oba, or what I imagine Manitoba to be" he
mercial possibilities.
"And your inquiries?”
"We were everywhere received with the greatest courtesy by the Japanese civil and military officials, and every facility was afforded us in making our investigations. There was still some difficulty in the ordinary way of foreigners travelling in the interior and to Makden, but we were fortified by passports, from Tokio, which immediately gained us every civility and assistance from the Administrator at Newchwang. We did not, however; confine our inquiries to Japanese officials but inter- viewed as many as we cou'd of the leading native merchants."
"To what conclusions did you come?" "After a most comprehensive inquiry it is most difficult, if not impossible, to offer any satisfactory evidence to substantiate the theory that the Japanese Governmen', through the instrumentality of either its military or civil authorities, is, at present; purposely interfering with or placing any obstacles in the path of other nations for the industrial exploitation of this important part of the Chinese Empire, The absence of demand from this farge, fertile, and thickly-populated province, which is not only being felt in the cotton piece-goods trade but in other commodities, is directly and principally attributable to the disirganised condition, both financial and commercial, of this district, a vast area of which, it must be remembered, was practically laid waste by both armies in their recent struggle. That crops were destroyed and entire villages devastated cannot be questioned, and ocular demonstration of the havoc wrought during the war is still obtainable. The Chinese are, how- ever, sustaining their reputation for rapid recuperation, the natives having returned to their usual villages or towns, and the work of rehabilitation is progressing as favourably and quickly as can be expected. Their homes are, however, in some cases, under reconstruction, and the crops, it must be noted, are still to be
expended during the past few years by harvested. That a large sum of money has been
both Russians and Japanese cannot be contradicted, but the a mall percentage
of this amount has as yet reached the merchant classes is also generally .cun- ceded. It is fair to presume that adventurers and coolie classes have beca the principal beneficiaries. It must not be forgotten that the territory of which we are speaking was the sent of a big and disastrous war, and that less than sight months have elapsed since a Treaty of Peace was signed. I mistake not, a similar condition of affairs existed subsequent to the hostilities in South Africa,, when, it will be recalled, heavy losses were sustained by over- confident traders wha over-purchased in an-
ticipation of a demand, which materialised only after a long delay. The disruption of trans- partation facilities by the commandeering of both native junks and carts, for military pur poses, and the partial destruction of the railwa“ ling from Port Arthurio Mukden are also im

"After all the people best able to judge of the future trade prospects of Manchuria are the merchants at Newchwang, and these Mr.
Wrightson and his party found to be practically unanimous in
opinion, that, in addition to the causes already named, the trade of the post is seriously affected by the disorganisation of the usual railway trans- portation between Tiebling and Kuchen giza, the latter a very important distributing centre, now in the hands of the Russians. About 40 miles of the fine have been torn up, but is now being relaid. The Northern portion of the line is still in possession of the Russians' who are said to be charging arbitrary rates with the purpose of forcing the trads of Kuchcogize through Vladivostok. Thus it is not only the Japanese who are taking advantage of the special circumstances of the time, and it Dalny needs careful watching with one eye, Vladi vostok should occupy the Shanghai merchant's other eye.
As a parting word Mr. Wrightson said he had reliable information that since be and bis. friends left Newchwang a satisfactory adjost. ment had been made in connection with the failure of a native bank, a financial misadven ture which had involved $400,000. Also that approximately the equivalent of Th. 1,000,000 his fately been remitted to Shanghai by local merchants or bankers. These reports, if true," he remarked, are significant and will neces sarily inspire confidence."
