SENIGE FOURS. The Senior Fours race was very keenly contested by all three crews. The Royals, getting a good start, obtained the lead, which they held to the mile post. Canton and the V.R.C. then spurted and drew level, and th's order continued until the mile post was pissed. At this point, the Royals made a great effort, spurted and again obtained a lead of one length from both their opponents, which they maintained to the winding post. The names of the winning crew' are as follows:-C. L. Logan (bow); V. G. Smyth (9) P. H. Dasies (3); J. S. McCann (stroke); T. H. White (cox)- Time, amins. 31sées."

JUNIOR PAIR

The second event was the Junior Pairs, which was well contested. The V.B.C. had a good start and obtained a lead of 18 lengths from Canton, which they maintained until the mile post was passed. At this point, the stroke (J. Berentson) unfortunately got cramp in his arms and was obliged to stop rowing. Cantain then obtained the lead, winning a good race from the Royals by lengths.

why?

I read that there is a scheme àfoot to make another Race Course in the Colony. This is extravagant if you like How often is the Happy Valley course used for actual racing? If there really is a need for a Municipal Golf course then the Government ought to make one of the proposed site for the new race track. It would make an excellent course, and pro- Vided a system of cheap focomotion was inaugurated it would be within the menus of all.

On the other hand if the Government are not prepared to enter upon so färge n scheme, why not turn the Happy Valley course into a Municipal course 1 1 "don't suppose the R.H.K.G.C. would have any objection to giving up the course as long as they knew it would be carried on us a Golf course for the benefit of those who patronize it already.

The third event was the Single Sculls, For which only two entries were received; W. A. Alexander representing Canton, and J. S. McCann Hongkong.. Alexander very sportingly agreed to make the dis tance for this race half-a-mile, instead.

SHANGHAI TRADE. Messrs, bert & Co.'s Piece Goods Market Report says:--

Business is if anything even quieter than last week with prices sagging n round. There is no particular reason for the exceptional dullness now prevailing, except that demand simply does not exist, this being partly attributable to the fact that we are now passing through the period known by the natives as

Ching Ming," during which the great mass of the population devote themselves entirely to paying reverence at the graves of their ancestors, leaving the affairs of the world to drift for the time being. This period will last for about another 10 days, after which a little more interest may possibly be taken in such earthly matters as piece goods.

Native money continues tight and clearances are poor, except in the local yarn trade, which appears to be able to weather the storms of the present day better than most other industries. The cloths manufactured by the local milis are, however, becoming somewhat of a ghut on the market and are difficult to sell even at materially reduced. prices.
