The main boat of the evening will be 15-round contest for the Heavy. weight Championship of the Colony between Pre N. Wilkins, R.M.L.I., of HALS Hawkins. Heavyweight Champion of the China Fleet, who had to dispose of 36 opponents to secure the title, and Peggy EVROS, abo of the "Hawkins."

RIVER'S RECORD FALL.

STEAMER STRANDEJA,

Advices from Wuchow state that there has been an unprecedented fall in the level of the river for this time of the year. At the second bar there is only eight feet of water. Con- sequently, ships cannot proceed, be- yond the second bar until the water rises. One steamer coming down the river did attempt the passage of the bar but touched bottom and remained aground for forty hours. **
