falling off of enthusiasm among the general public; even the pari-mutuel could not arouse any widespread feeling of interest; and so the Meeting, while it provided a pleasant enough outing, could not be voted a great success regarded from one point of view. For this the Stewards of the Jockey Clubarenot, apparently, responsible. Allthe arrangements for the Meeting were as perfect as ever, in fact, there were some improve- ments for which those responsible deserve the highest praise.

Those Chinese having bills to exchange were passed through the gate at the side to the back of the Bank, there to take their turn. Quite a sen of heads could be seen in the Bank's back premises, but excellent order was kept by the Police who superin- tended the influx and efflux. kept paying out silver all the afternoon quite calmly. There was a little excitement apparent in front of the Bank among Europeans who were stopping in ricshas and carriages and rushing inside only to reappear looking more assured. Knots of Chinese gathered in many parts of the Bank round those who had either good or bad notes which were passed from hand to hand ur.dergoing critical examination. Wo believe that about a couple of lace were paid out to-day by the Bank. A rumour was current that an arrest was effected last night in connection with the forgery, but we learn that no one has yet been arrested
