RECENT EVENTS IN THE NORTH
The following paragraphs are culled from the N. C. Daily Newa of last Friday and Saturday:
In token of the bravery mani- fested by members of the guards who were attacked by a mob in Route Conty, in the French Con- cession, at Shanghai on the even- ing of April 3, the French au- thorities have given medals to the following:--Municipal Gold Medal to Brigadier Byhovsky, who was seriously wounded; Municipal Silver Medal to Police Constable Dargent; and Mnicipal Bronze Medal to Brigadier Tonkinois No. 151..
A number of Chinese merchants are understood to have ordered 24,000 bags of rice from Saigon to meet the demands of the local people, so it is expected that there will be a reduction in prices very shortly.

CHINESE DENIES PARTICIPATION.
But for action taken by Mr. C. A. Grimes, and a resultant trafic summons at the Police Court, It would not have been known that a moter marathon was held within the orbit of Ippy Valley on the 11th April lust.
On that day two motor-cycles (one of which had also a pillion- rider) were racing each other, and Mr. Grimes, whose attention wag attracted by the breakneck speed at which they were travelling, re- marked that they made the cir- cuit of the Valley no fewer than five times. Taking a position be- tween the Craigengower Cricket Club and the Civil Service Crie- ket Club, Mr. Grimes compiled de- tails of his evidence as the ma- chines raced past, and he was able to state in regard to a summons of reckless driving, heard by Major C. Willson this morning, that a speed of betweon 30 and 40 miles an hour was being maintain-
