COMPLETE RESULTS OF THE RECENT
MEETING, AN
[From Our Own Correspondent,] The following are the winning and placed ponies at the recent race meeting held at Fou chow on the 11th, rath and 13th Just. :—
FIRST DAY.
The new Portuguese Club in Shelley Street was inaugurated last night by a grand ball, at which the governors of Hongkong and Macao were present, wrote a Daily Front chronicler on the 18th Dec. 1816. The, ball room of the Club is perhaps the handsomest room, so far as size and proportions go, in the whele Colony It is lighted by three chandliers, the walls are
pale blue, the figer and roof painted and the. doorvery highly finished, so that it looks by co means bare or desolate even when 'clear of furniture.

the Club was laid by the late Governor of Macão, in the presence of a considerable. number of the people who were at the Ball, and the cordiality with which all classes in the Colony mixed on that occasion was renewed last night. Dancing was commenced, shortly before eleven, after an address had been read by Mr. Barretto, the President of the Club, and replied to by the Governor of Macao. The rooms by this time were as full as they could ba, very nearly all Hongkong and half. Macao being present. Under difficulty, however, the sets were formed,
The supper was served in the pretty theatre Attached to the building, the tables being ranged on the parquet. .
LAYING THE Corner Stone.
Peckeniff laid the first stone of Martin Chuzzle.
General Gay of course returned thanks on behalf of the English army. The health of the Civil Service, with which was coupled the unme of Judge Ball came next, and afterwards that of the heads of the Mercantile firms in Hong kong, for whom Mr. Jas. Whitall responded. The Hongkong Bar was then toasted, and Judge Ball Again replied. We believed his name was coupled with these toasts and he was thus it would more properly have been acknowledged by a member of the Bar in actual practice. The British Navy at this late stage of the pro ceeding came in for unexpected honours, which were not the less heartily given for having been delayed beyond the usual period, and then' Mr Sutherland, in a very capital and amusing little speech, proposed the Indies. He was going to propose a toast, he said in effect, which was always greeted with enthusiasm, but no where more than in Hongkong. We, who came out to Chion, gained in some qualities and lost in nifiers, but we gained in nothing more than in admiration for the female sex; for which we all felt the utmost respect; regard, veneration, and love. As a rule ladies were uot fond of Club. Some thought that they were calculated to restrain bachelors from assuming the various duties and responsibilities of matrimony. Others that they prevented their daughters from getting married. Hongkong, however, the peculiar warm feelings before alluded to, rendered all such fears superfluous, and there was therefore something highly appropriate in drinking the health of the ladies on the present occasion. With lively badinage which we have merely indicated, Mr. Sutherland proposed his toast, which of course was greeted with joyous merriment.

us to understand, two Chinamen, a Deck före mun, and the chief engineer of the leungshan, were on a hanging plank, which was swung over the stern of the Heungshan, tightening up the ship's propeller. One of the Chinese labourers held a sledge hammer and with this he was ea gaged in hitching up the propeller. While bang. ing away at the propeller the coolie missed his mask on one occasion and struck the hanging plank instead. All hands on the plank were thrown below into the dock, a distance of about fifteen feet. Luckily there was several feet of water in the dock at the time, which

A plassant fittle ceremony took place yesterday (December 26th, 1865) at the comer of Elgin and Shelley Streets, when the first stone of the new Club Lusitana de Hongkong was hid by his Excellency the Governor of Macao, in the presence of Mr. Mercer and other authorities of the Colony. The site of the intended building had been prepared very tastefully, and in spite of the haste with which the arrangements had been made, the temporary edifice of bamboo and matting, in which the inaugural feast was ser ved, did not appear in any way unfinished or incomplete. A light platform had been erect- ed round the spot where the first stone was to be deposited, and a roof of matting shielded it from the sun. Here the whois company as sembled to receive the Governor of Macao, who arrived with praiseworthy punctuality at half past eleven precisely. His reception war extremely cordial and gave him visible satis faction. Together with the officers who ac companied him he advanced to the entrance of the luncheon tent, where Mr. Mercer, already present, was waiting to greet him; then the

On the face of it the scheme seems entirely- practicable if the question of disposition of the by-products can be solved. As the Japanese consumers'will buy a lower grade of flour than Is marketable in Western countries, a good dia can probably be made of the shorts, but how the bran and middlings can be disposed of remains to be settled.
Japan is not a dairying' country in any sense of the ward, and this product cannot very well be regarded as waste to be thrown away, in view of the high freight paid upon it. Still the Oriental mills, who, it is said, are preparing to revolutionize the flour, business on the shores of the Pacific, of course, know what they are doing.
At Hongkong the big A. H. Reenie mill is about completed. The first cargo of wheat for its use has just left- Portland on the steamer Hazel Dollar and another cargo will be sent over about a month hence on the steamer Bessie Dollar.
