Oo New Year Eve, by the steamship Kwong rang, from Shanghai, there arrived four ponies (three Derby grimas and the well-known Kirkwood) for Mr. W. J. Grenson. Of the Derby griffins the flea-bitten grey appears to be the best. In racing circles, it is whispered that he was purchased at the Horse Bazaar auction and wis knocked down for Tis. 1,900.
The y thaler, according to all accounts from the Northera Seulement, is a grand mover, and it will be ne surprise to anyone to cc him running first or second in the event for
which he was purchased.
The other two Derby runners were purchas: ed privately at Fred. Dallas's Horse Repos:| itory and are supposed to have cost Tls. 1,000 apicco. Readers must not, open their eyes wurde nnd stare into vacancy when they hear Ahe prices paid, for what the uninitiated call ""goats," as compared with "the English thoroughbred, for I know of a case in which "double that amount was paid, for one of those "goats," which turned out at race time to be a goat indeed, so far as running was concerned,
There was a very gooditura-out at the course yesterday morning to witness some of the griffins cover the distance. The entire morn iag was spent in watching the three furlong and quarter mile done, and only in ope case was the mile attempted. This was done by a black pony belonging to The Buffs,

The revenue of the Psaka Shosen Kaisha for the present half-year has shown a notable increase owing to the favourable result of the consting trade and the retrenchment of ex penditure. The total revenue from July to November amouited to Y4,719,000, against ́which the expensen were Y2,581,000 saving & profit of V,136,000; an increase of over Y220,000 on the figures for the conespopding period of last; year and of more than Y160,000 as com-

It would appear in, the light of these ficts that the Governmiant of Hongkong has come to the conclusion that the riot was the work of the leaders of the boycott movement, who wựn morally, if not legally, responsible for what occurred. To bring home the responsibility THE P. & O. S. N. Co.'s Steamer to the parsons suspected was' difficult if sot impossible, and the Government thereupon determined to avail itself of a weapon its
