[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT]

FrKING, February 24th. ...ANGLO-YNENCH. ROUTE MARCH,

Under the command of Captain Hankin, the Peking British Volunteers the 18th Infantry (Indian), and the Peking Com pany 16th Regiment. Coloniale, had march through the city on Sunday last There was a good turn-out of both British and French, who went swinging gang in good style, headed by the British Indian At intervals the different Bugle Band, contingents took up in turn their own marching tunes, the French songs coming between ""Dipporary" and "John Brown's Pody,” while the Indians had the pleasure of airing some of their own peculiar musical compositions. The day was fine, and the wen erjoyed the outing. Such meetings and marchings help (if help is needed) to strengthen the friendship between the affied nations, and to demonstrate to all whom it may concern that "United we stand."

LINGERING WINTER.

Two heavy Winter lingers this year. falls of snow this week are slightly out of time. They would have been regarded as very lucky had they come in winter proper, but still they are welcomed as bringing needed moisture to the ground. The snow has interfered with our pleasure and oces- sioned the postponement of the Peking Hunt Club's Gymkhane from Sunday next to Sunday following.
