A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

In Admiralty Jurisdiction on February 19, the Chief Justice gave judgment against the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, claim and counter-claim, involving over $80,000, arising out of a collision in Hong Kong harbour in March;” · 1931, between the Japanese 8.8. Toyooka Maru and the China Navigation Company's steamer Kiangsu, His Lordship said he had no hesitation in saying that the main cause, at least, of the collision was the action of the Toyooka Maru, in going across the fairway into fog. He had also come to the conclusion that the Japanese ship could have avoided a collision by dropping her anchor. A full text of the finding is published in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.:^

The Annual Race Meeting opened at Happy Valley on February 20, in brilliant weather. Times were fast and the turf was in perfect condition. However, it rained on the fourth day, but. that did, not in any way dampen the en thusiasm of racegoers. The Ladies' Purse was won by Mr. Y. S. Chang, his mount being King's Bounty, the favourite for the event. Several record times were broken, Doctor's Mandate doing exceptionally well in that line, lowering a record on the second day, and then beating his own record the following day! Dividends were fairly high, the biggest being $551, for second place, and $434 for third place. Liberty Bay (Mr. Hill up) won the Derby in a common canter. The lucky winner of the Derby first prize, $12,000 odd, was a Chinese man. A fall report of the meeting is chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINĂ, MAIL.

The China-Japan war is still raging, in spite of what the Powers are endeavouring to do to restore peace, Reports of a big Chinese victory over the Japanese was current in Hong Kong on February 23, and soon every, "Chinese' citizen was celebrating the good news.....“ Crackers were fired all over the place, and the streets were littered "with red paper,... Latest movements of troops in the war zone, and the grave situation in Shanghai are dealt with fully in the OVERLAND CHINA,MAIL.
