The Court is sccordingly entitled that on the Peptember the accounts rendered by Guskull E been accepted by G. R. Stevens & Co. sabetantially correct sad that the Loyal ac- counts were not impagued as usantisfactory because they were based on the materials say plied or offered to Gaskell to work upon, but because they did not tally with the manifests.
In the face of this acceptance by G. B. Stavons & Co. it was useless to point out a for items here and there which the defendante considered to be incorrect. Before accepting, sach alloged orrors should have been referred to Gaskell and the materials for correcting then inguished to him. With the original materials at his disposal Gaskell has done what he contracted to do. He has exercised the boundou ordinary amount of skill and know lodge incident to his profession as an account.
HARMSTON'S CIRCUS.

and effect socording to the intention of the parties. If any inaccuracies have arisen from inherent fruities in the work itself he is still entitled to his remuneration: He was, I think. bound to afford the defendants a reasonable opportunity of inspecting his work to ascertain its correctness. This was deus by him. The accounts furnished were not returned to his hands de useless. There is no hint that the state of affairs was not disclosed by the acconats with as near an approach to accuracy as was compatible with the materials at the plaintiff disposal

For it it were not so, a man, by a small error, might deprive himself of his whole remuneration." These remarks are apposite to the prosent CHR. The result is that the plaintiff speceeds and has his custs.

ROYAL HONGKONG YACHT CLUB REGATTA.
A regatta promoted by the Royal Hongkong Yacht Clab took place in the Harbour on Satur day. There was a somewhat stiff breeze blow. ing and the water was consequently somewhat lumpy, but this did not seem to interfere to any great extent with the rowing events, four ont of seven of which were confined to men-of-war's men. These proved to be the most enjoyable rases of the day. The two-mile course was | not, however, arranged so well as it might hava beon. It was from H.M.S. Wivern, kindly placed at the disposal of the Club as dag- ship by Commodore Powell, round by a insored sampan distinguished by a thog with a

The race for six-parel galleys was open to men-of-war's men of any nation- ality, bat no foreigners availed themselves of the opportunity afforded them to pete. The international four-cared race had most asatisfactory-ending. When the fini. shing post was reached the view of the judges on board the Wivern was shut out by a couple of launched, and they accordingly very properly declined to give a decision.
Among those who were present at the Regatta were H. E, the Governor (Sir Henry Blake, G.C.M.G.), Lady Blake, Miss Blake, and H. E. Major-General Gascoigne, C.I.G. Lady Blake distributed the prises.

shook themselves up, but a run by the left wing was well stopped by Lapsley, who kicked ont of bounde. The throw-in was followed by a sharp tussle at rather close quarters in V.B.C. territory, bat Chunnett saved the situa tion by a sudden rush out, centring the ball Brett took up the running, and
es a smart run relinquished in favour of Seth, but the pass was too strong, and crossed the boundary, Eaton, to that end, tackling Seth.
Play went on, and at the interval the score stood:-V.B.C., 1; R.W.F..0.
As in the first half, play in the second portion of a not very interesting game was all in favour of the V. R. C. The forwards of the Fusiliers were weak, and as a result muxt of the work de- volved on the halves and backs, whose play, though nothing to boast of, was decidedly superi-! er to that of their attacking line. Barnard's kooping was very good, but all through he was asked to do too much. The V.R.U. forwards, when viewed comparatively made a very good appearance-Seth the best of all Among the defences, Lapsley, right back, and Lou- reiro, centre laid, were especially strong. At no time, from the one-sided nature of the game, had Channett much to do, but what he did he did well. The V.R.C., in the second half, added no less than three goals to their total, Yule being responsible for two and Herton for one The last was sa extremely soft thing, Barnard
running out and leaving his goal absolutely anprotected. The Fusiliers were not success. ful in gaining any points, and the game ended→→ V. R, U., R. W. F. 9.

A match between the 15th Company (Siege Train), Southern Division, R.G.A., and the 25th Company, Eastern Division, R.G.A., was of a more even and eonsequently more interesting character. With play somewhat in their fareur, the Eastern Division at half-time had one goal to their credit, while the Southern Division had nous.

This match was, we understand, the outcome of a sporting challenge by the RW.F. to play the full strength of the Club. The Regiment lave had a long run of victories over weaker combinations than the Club could muster, and it was natural that they should entertain hopes of being able to make a good game on this no. casion, moro especially in view of the fact that on 1st December last they vanquished a moder- ata Club XI. It was a very severe handicap that Higgon was unable to play for his side, in which, however, Freedy made his reappearance after assiduous medical aid, which we hope he will not again have to ibyoks.
