Macao, June 8, For what is thought to be the first time in history, a boat has been rowed from Hongkong to Macao by four Portuguese lads who socomplished the feat to-day after almost eleven hours of strenuous exercise. It is a feat to be proud of and considerable Interest was aroused in Macao when hat it was announced in the more posts a telegram had been received report- ing the departure of the little boat from the British colony.

Under the circumstances great ad- miration is expressed in Macao at the completion of the feat, and the boya from Hongkong were suitably enter- tained by the people of Macao.
Boat Behaved Splendidly. The boat in which the row across was effected was the Lily of the V.R.C. and was none the worse after the trip. The rowers say that the boat behaved splendidly, and are only sorry that the little mishap to the rudder pre- vented the completion of the journey to the whart in the Macao Port, instead of to the entrance of the channel, in Portuguese waters.
The Trip Described. Interviewed; the rowers stated that special thanks are due to the Stewards of the V. R. C. for the assistane rendered to enable the feat to be accomplished. The boat was com pletely overhauled in preparation for the trip. Free boards were screwed
