Hockey and Cricket.
The Regiment went as far as the semi- final in hockey, cricket, and also in the tug-of-war. The cricket and hockey teams have been slightly affected but they are stated to be good. In a few days, no doubt, it will be seen what calibre they possess in being pitted against some of the teams in the Colony.

Esia Chao's Flight
While there is every reason to PPOs that the rumours describing Civil Gover nor Hsin Chao's flight from Chekiang, were based upon real knowledge, and not merely conjecture as the reusit of the governor, not having been seen by any body for some considerable time, it is interesting to note that the Shanghai Mainichi in its issue of to-day publishes an interview supposed to have taken place between a representative of this paper and Ying Sze Kang, denying that the late Civil Governor had died from the scene of his recent betrayal..

With reference to Hangehow, several reports of the city having been looted by the Chekiang, soldiery in the course of their retreat before the Kiangan ad- vance, have reached Shangbai and one report, published by the China Times, local Chinese newspaper, goes so far as to estimats the amount of looting at $10,000,000.

The looting was carried out by the Peace Protectionary Corns, who formed the greater portion of the rebel army which endeavoured to seize Shanghai un der the Civil Governor's instructions All the large jewellery shops, drapery stores and, it is said, the Hangchow branch of the Bank of China on Chien Jao Ka, were plundered in addition to many private dwellings...
