INTERPORT ROWING.

SINGAPORE MAY COMPETE. Mr. Harok Austen, hon, secretary of Victoria Recreation Club, hos received a letter from Mr. D. Robertson, hon, secretary of Singapore Rowing Club, thenking Victoria Recreation Club for inviting them to take part in the Interport Rowing Races at Hongkong Regatta. The Singapore Rowing Club will try to send a four-car crew to Hongkong, but it is feared that they will not be able to leave till about Christmas Mr. Robertson will write again as - soon as possible.

*

This is indeed good news, and something quite new in the history of local sport. It is quite cortain that Canton and Hongkong com- peting crews will be only too pleased to make the necessary arrangements and postponement, should such, bo required. When Shanghai rowers hear of Singapore's attitude in the matter they may send a team also.

CANTON REGATTA.

As the Canton Rowing Club and Hongkong Boat Club have joined hands in getting up the Canton Regatta, it ought to be a greater succoss than ever before. Certain events, probably, will be open only to members of the two mentioned Clubs, but Victoria Recreation Clab has been invited to take part in the Interport Races to be held at the Canton Regatta.

V.R.C. CREWB,

The V.R.C. crews will probably consist of the following members-always provided that they make satisfactory progress in the training.

INTERPORT FOras J. Witchell stroke; H.C. Austen, 3; T. C. Pearse, 2; R. Witchell, bow.

FAIR OARS: The Brothers Witchell.

Double Sculls :- J. Witchell, F. P. Musso. The Volunteer Camp has considerably intor- fored with the training, so as soon as it is over the man will have to make up for lost time.

The other day Mr. F. W. Warre went out -with a V.R C. crew as conch. Members of the Club feel very grateful to him on this account, and, taking it into consideration that he is a member of the compating Hongkong Boat Club, consider it most sportsinanlike of him. Tho standard of V.R.C. rowing is sure to improve.

The new V.R.C. pair-one boat is nearing completion. It is said that she has every ap pearance of a smart cinft.

How has the contract for felling trees and carrying away the wood been let? Is it for a lump sum or par picul?

If by the picul, is the weight being supervised and checked, and if so, by whom?

Why were not puldis tenders invited for it? Will the Government not take steps to prevent the coolios carrying on this work, from desecrating the cemeteries, und working there on Sundays?

The COLONIAL SECRETARY-It is one of the largest industries of the Colony.

ILou. R. G. SHEWAN-It may be one of the lurgeat, but it is not the greatest in the Colony.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-Indo-China is excluding our sugar because we have not yet complied with the Convention.

Hon. R. G. SHEWAN-I have not studied the question, but I have list omad to the answers of the The COLONIAL.

Hon R. G.SHEWAN-I nover asked for a proof.

The GOVERNOR-Does the bon, member not wish to carry out the terms of the Convention?

Hon. R. G. SHEWAN-No.

A GERMAN VIEW OF ENGLAND.

Advance sheets of Dr. Karl Peters' new book, England and the Inglish, have been sent to the German Press, and it is thought that his work will make a deep impression in Gray and largely contribute to remove much of the dislike and prejudice which prevent the peoplo of this country from viewing Ecgland and Englishmen as they really art. Die Poste, oze of the journals least friendly to England, says in this connection: Howover we may view England from the standpoint of our national interests, we must, if we are to judge righteous- ly, be filled with admiration at the great work which England bas done. British national pride often enough is offensive to foreigners, but if ever pride was justifiable in any histories nation it is justifiable with the English, for here it is pride which does not rest on foolings or imagination, but on the real results if a Colonial policy which bas created the British World-Empire- an Empire which stands to-day as the most brilliant manifestation of the Imperial genius of the European race,”.

last mentioned material that was imported from a country which did adhere to the Convention.

This method would lovery inconvenient and also there would still be a chance of sugar refined in the Colony being excluded from countries that.

The

other the Convention. to adhore method is to keep together all sugar coming from countries giving bounties. This is the method that has been adopted by the Bill before the Council. It is not considered that any real inconvenience will be caused by this Bill, for practically nu sugar comes from coun- tries giving bounties. The Bill has the adrau- tage of assisting the object of the Convention, which is an object to which great consideration was given by His Majesty's Government, that fa in doing away with the giving of bounties for the manufacture of sugar.

It would not do to say that all the witnesses were only ricksha, coolies and that their evidence could not be taken into consideration. If this be the idea of the Government, the formality of calling witnesses to give evidence should be altogether dispensed with.

According to the evidence, there were four European e patubles on duty umar the locality in which the brutal ase:alt was committed, and although none of them could be identified as being the actual doer of that wicked deed, it is still Capt.
