ENDEAVOUR'S SUCCESS OVER RAINBOW

Four Straight Victories Predicted

Newport, RL, Sept. 18.

To-day's course in the America's Cup "will be a triangular one of ten miles on each ler. Weather conditions are expected to be similar to yesterday. It is generally regarded that the Endeavour will not only win the series if the weather holds but that she will win four straight races.

In yesterday's race which was the second in the series of seven, the first having ended in a "no contest" decision. Mr. Sopwith's Endeavour crossed the finishing line about half a mile ahead of the Vanderbilt Synd'rate yacht Rainbow with a margin of 2 minutes 9 seconds. Endeavour completed the race in 3 hours 43 minutes and 44 seconds andRainbow in 3 hours. 45 minutes and 53 seconds.

In reviewing the activities of the club for the past year, Mr. Sayer said that the finances of the club had succeeded in making a small profit of a little over $500 which was rather less than last year, but. nevertheless, the Committee re- garded it as satisfactory and he thought the members should agree with them. This had, been achieved by economy, some items of expenditure having been saved and they had managed to obtain small sums of revenue. This had also been helped by the Christmas draw and Whist drives which brought in the useful total of $975. and in this connection. the "Com- defendant as the latter was mittee wished to express their legally represented thanks to the organisers.

The first one was that the prosecution submitted that the injuries to the complainant were caused by the throwing of a stone. The complainant in her evidence had stated this and this was fur- ther corroborated by two other witnesses for the prosecution.

SHA TAU KOK VILLAGERS

Petition Against

Rice Tax

Canton, Sept. 18. Owing to the scarcity of home- STOWN rice, the inhabitants of Sha Tau Kok and the different villages of this district have been in the habit of crossing over Into the British Territory for the purchase of their daily supplies of rice.

Owing to the duty which has been imposed upon imported rice, this has resulted in great hard- ship and suffering to the poor people of these villages.

These poor villagers buy at most $3.or $3 worth of rica at a time, and the suffering resulting from the payment of import duty can be imagined.

Consequently, the villagers of all these districts have combined for the purpose of petitioning the Canton Governent, through their representatives for the removal of the Import duty on all small purchases of less than 30 cattles, so as to relieve the present hard- ship and distress.
