CRICKETERS AT THE CIRCUS.

The circus still continues to attract large and appreciative audiences. The programme this week has been greatly changed, and the performance is as good as ever. An interesting feature of the programme last night was the presentation of hats to the batsmen who secured the highest averages in thy Hongkong Straits watch. Mr. Heath of Hongkong, and Mr. Wyatt of Singapore wore the recipients Mr. Love made a little speech. The ambor of cricketers in attendance, on the bats being presented, struck up the chorns He's a jolly good fellow," and followed with three cheers for the donor, who responded.

CONTRABAND OF WAR.

A correspondence which has passed between Messrs. Alfred Holt and Ce, of the Õcrati Steamship Company, and the Forvign Office, shows, says the Daily Express, that we are as far as ever from a precise definition of what Russia is pleased to regard as contraband of war The correspondence, as published in the Stan- dard, was as follows:-

THE ELBE.

Navigation on the Elbe is being slowly reopened after having been suspended for nearly three months. The Vereinigte Elbachifffahrts. Gesellschaft in Dresden began by shipping Bohemian coal (liguits) about the middle of September, but they were obliged to employ birges of shallow draft, and small carrying capacity, so that the total for the month An attempt to barely reached 15,000 tons. forward goods from here to the South fortuight ago resulted in failure, a number of barges being stranded on the way and the tuge returning to Hamburg. Rates at present are very ligh as a vast amount of geuds is awaiting shipment. To what extent the traffic on the river has suffered will best be seen by comparing the figures of the first nine months of the pre- sent year with those for the same period in 1903: the total amount of goods shipped from Bohemis and Saxony this year being about 1,200,000 It is not against 2,200,000 last year.
