NEW VOLUNTEER SHOOTING RANGE.

PENED BY H.E. THE GOVNENOB,

The now Valuater Shooting Range at Caneway Bay was opened on Saturday after. noon by H.E. the Governor. The weather wÈS hot, and made the ausent to the butts very trying. The path, narray and very steep in places, winds erratically up this hillside, and to the perspiring, panting traveller appears to drug itself out to thus farthest possible timit in heading the way to the butts.

unfairness.

I quite agres with the Parseo commuity that they should have their own plagis hospital, attended by their own doctor and nurse, for they can well afford to do so, but surely Elgin Street is not a site for waking a plagne hospital. It is reasonable that Mr. Vauls

The female is said to be much more lightly built, and her skall is considerably smaller than that of the male. It is not yet known whether any difference of coloration exists between the mula and female; the natives say that they differ only in size. The same authorities state that the creature is found only in the dessest parts of the forest, and that it goes about in pairs of male and female. It would seem to be quite inoffensive, and very easily killed. It is ordinarily captured in pitfalls, and from what Sir Harry Johnston ascertained on the spot its extinction is being rapidly carried out by the natives of the Congo Free State. Now that this discovery has boon made by joint action on look with confidence to King Leopold to issue part of British and Belgian officials, we may

D. G., arrived on Foot, the volunteers present standing at atten tion as the party approached.

Placing himself at their head, Colone. Bir -JOEN CALLINGTON, addressing the Governor (who is the Hon. Colonel of the Corps), said- Year Excellency, on behalf of the Volunteer Corps, I thank you very cordially for your generosity in providing a good range for the Corps, and hope that the use they make of it will justify the trouble you have taken la-con- nection with the ratge. I now beg your Excellency to declare it open.

HIS EXCELLANCY said-Colonel Sir John of the Carrington and officers and men Volunteer Corps, I am very glad indeed to find that the range is to be opened at last; there has been great delay about it. However, now that I have come up, I must say there is one advantage that appears to exist here, and that is—you fire at this range strictly under service conditions. I think you will find at first that the journey up will prove tiring and perlays alter your scoring, but after you have been working at the range for two months the whole Corps, I think, will find itaolf as fit as fiddles and keen on mustard. I hope all of you will make constant and good use of the muge, for, as I think I have said more than cnee, the Hongkong Volunteers may prove a most valmblo addition to the forces of the Colony, but your value will be strictly proportionate to the goodness of your shooting, and you must never lose sight of that. I think we have had object-lessons in other lands of the great need of always boing prepared and ready to act our parta us man. I am glad indeed to have the opportunity to open the range, and I hope that the offsets of the walk-up will disappear with the sighting of the rifle. (Laughter and applause.)

A curbine was then handed to His Excellency, who took it with the romark" Has he got any tricks?" Keesling down, the Governor took sim at the 200 yards' target and fired. A present eagerly watched for the result of the shot, which was a palpable miss. A shout of laughter went up when the marker, after the lapse of a few seconds, signalled a hell's eye. The Governor created further amusement by the command-"The Victorian Order ought to be given to that marker."

Shooting for the Governor's Shield, which was on view at the butts, then commenced. The following is a summary of the scores:-

Field Battery-200 yards, 165; 400 yards, 921: 500 yards, 206 total, 502.

On the 31st ult. the Puk Keny arrived from Canton at her wharf at about 2 a.m., and about 5 a... three hours afterwards, two excise officers on duty near the wharf saw a man come ashore from the stemer. The excise officers noticed that he was considerably bulged out back and front, and suspected that he was attempting to smuggle opium. They arrested him, and at the Polloa Station 150 taels of prepared opium in tins was found in his possession.

His Worship-He was not arrested on the steamer; was he seen coming from it?

Mr. Hastings-He was. He stated that he was an assistant on board the ship when he was charged before Mr. Komp.

His Worship--I have no notice that he was before Mr. Kemp.

Mr. Hastings-Yes, he was charged and Aned $500, or three months' hard labour. It is for the prosecution to prove that these 100 tuels of opiam came from the ship and was founil on a person who was coming therefrom on the defonce lies the onus of proving that sufficiant precautions had been taken to provent the importation of the opium.

His Worship-Que point occurs to me that the opion was not found on board.

Mr. Robinson That was the first point I intended to take. The man was arrested in

the street.

Mr. Hastings-We shall prove that the opium did come fram on board the ship.

The evidence of the two excise cfficers and that of others was taken after which his Worship intimated that would give his decision on Thursday mind if he found that a cues against Can Masou existed, further proceedings would be taken.
