SATURDAY'S GYMKHANA.
The Hongkong Volunteer Troop and the Gymkhana Club were "at home" to their Iriends on the Polo ground on Saturday and royally they entertained them. The excellent maxis of the Middlesex Band, which played selections daring the afternoon, was no more charming than the attention paid by the bosts of the afternoon to their guests." Although a trife warm, better weather could not have been desired, and a large attendance had assembled before the arrival of His Excellency the Governor. Among others present were Bir Henry Berkeley, General Broadwood, Rear Admiral and Mrs, Stokes, Six Paul Chater and Colonel Darling. The lengthy programme of events, many of which afforded considerable ammemoni, was carried through without a biteb, and the events were kept well up to time. In the pony race to be ridden in pairs by ladies and gentlemen, à special priza' was awarded Mrs. Gromon for the best descriptive name handed in for that event, which was the "Do be quick" race. Trooper Dupree carried of the handsome cup prosented by Rear Admira and Mrs. Stokes for the member of the Troop who scored most marks in events confined to the Troop, Trooper Master getting second prize. The energetio officials reponsible for the successful arrangements of the afternoon were: Judges: Captain Hart-Synnst, D.S.O., and Mr. J. A. Jupp
Starter: Mr. H. P. White, Committee: Mrs. C. H. Row, C. H. Blason, W. 8. Dapree, and R. F. C. Master, (HOD, Seo.)

In this event points were allowed for sigle, pace, slicing the lemon, and, in some instances, for a touch. Many of the competitors were successful in halving the Arat lemon, but nearly all failed in the back out at the second. Trooper Master's winning was a very neat one, and his aim was sure. With his pony going at a gord paos he sliced both lemons, recalving an ovation from the spectators, BUCKET AND APPLE RAGR-A number of tabs er backets to be placed in a row, kalt. filled with water, with an apple in each.

1. Mr. Dupree Captain Brierley The quietnem or restiveness of the pony was a factor contributing for or against access in this roo. Some of the animals, by standing quiet, enabled thele riders to secure the helmets without brouble, while others became restive as soon as they were taken alongside the head pieces. Mr. Gedge wan most unfortunate lå this respect. One of the first in the race to the helmets, he was still striving to raise his from the ground without dismounting when the rest of the field had finished, but eventually gave it up.

Instead, those who paid their dollars were treated to a few sparring matches, and given ample time during many intervals to reflect on their folly in thus wasting a night, It must not be understood, however, that any blame for Saturday night's flats attaches to the men taking park Most of them have before displayed their quality, and will probably do so gain but on Saturday night they wanted "money up" before they took the ring, and in the principal event it was forthcoming. Apparently the management promoted, the entertainment with closed eyes, for they had even overlooked the appointment of two absolutely necessary pertons, a referes and timekeeper. Through the courtesy of Mesere, A. Parker and 8. Kelly, howover, these positions were filed, and the first bout of the evening oposed.
