EARTHQUAKE IN SHANGHAI.

Two Bhocks Felt.

522

An earthquake shock oecurred in Shang- hai on the rd and was felt throughout the Settlement in a greater or less degren. About twenty minutes to seven o'clock cumbers of people experienced a decided

ibention, in some cases horses seeming to rock from the base, while in others there was merely a slight shaking. The duration seems to have varied, according to the experiences of different people, froni a second or two to almost a minute. Naturally those in the higher buildings felt the shock worst.

The shock was felt very distinctly an all fire foor of the Kalee Hotel: and in one room was sufficiently strong to dis- place some of the ortaments which fell

to the floor, while the windows rattled.

The CONDITIONS of the COMPETITION will be announced

later in this space.

ment on the French Bund several panes of glass were cracked. At various paints in the western district the disturbance seems to have born felt badly, and it is stated that when the shock occurred one lady ran from the house, in the belief that thieves were on the premises.

The full report of Sicawei Observatory has not been compiled, but from informa- tion received from that quarter it appears that there were actually two shocks. The Impulss in the case of the first was Esat- Woet, and in the second, which was of greater violence, North-South. From the direction of the latter impulso it is con- sidered that the present shock may be of more importance than that at Shanghai
