The Hongkong Daily Press quotes with cen- sure our remarks on the subject of the deputation, which waited late on the German Minister, and thinks that we used language-eminently calculated to impair the good relations which should exist between foreigners and natives in Japan. Writing with exactly the opposite inten- tion, we find it difficult to comprehend how our cordingly turn with some cabiosity to our. con- words could contribute to such a result, and ac temporary's definition of those relations.

At the outset he quotes a must erroneous and misleading statement from the Japan Gazette, to the effect that the rumour concerning the im. minent abolition of exterritoriality 'no doubt had its origin in some demand preferred by the Ja panese Government at a meeting to discuss the terms of the new treaties. This mistake is not a little suprising, since it occurs in columns where been accurately and fairly set forth.

For some years past we have advocated steeple chasing as an item in the Hongkong programme,

tary "sports."

writers of the I. C. U." type are doing any- thing to favor the introduction of steeplechasing at our annual races, by mérely "hoping” in the columns of a newspapers, to see this branch of sport established at the next race-meeting. It will require a good deal more than the anony mous expectations of a dining-room, sportsman like "I. C. U." to induce the Stewards of the Race Fund to sanction the introduction of steeple- chasing. When the Colony can boast of pos- sessing the ponies and the riders; and we have received some ocular proofs that the panics can jump the ditches and fences, and the jockeys are sufficiently skilful to render accidents unlikely, it will be time enough to indulge in antici- pations of successful steeplechases. Of course, everybody knows that Chinese ponics, are safe and expert. jumpers, and that the art of riding fairly well in an amateur steeplechase is not difficult to acquire; but when we consider that, with the exception of Mr. Grant, Mr. Tripp, (the worthy Clerk of the Course) and Mr. Fraser Smith, who are regular habituds of the Hoppy Valley all the year round, both the steeplechase track and racecourse are quite deserted unless in

Many boxes of letters are received at the Fost Office not sealed, that is to say, the box is fastened with scaling wax, but there is no impression of a seal.

The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully sealing such boxer with some recognisable seal, and of sending a chit book or receipt with them. The omission of the latter precaution leaves a doubt as to whether the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office: the omission of the former, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage Stamps./
