It is alleged the boat has been built to suit a certain heavy man in the military team: As far as the International is concerned it would be preposterous to think that the welfare of an English crew should be dependent on this, very heavy man. Even the Germans, who have all round as heavy a crew as the English, and who are represented in the club by the modest number of 5 rowers, take their chance in the 'club's boats, not to speak of the Danes, who to save their lives couldn't show up more than four towers.
Is it not then simply 'ridiculous that the English, who have a much greater number in choose from than any other nationality, should persist in wishing to row in that boat because of the heavy weight of their crew? Might they not get another or some other men whom they believed would exactly suit the club-boats? Certainly, and with greater facility than any other nationality. I could point out a crew-and why not doit while I am at it-Hayllar, Denison. E. Shepherd and F. Shepherd, whom 1 would defy any other International combination to defcat. Why is a crew something like this, not formed? Well, well-never mind? The German and Danish nationalities are already severely handicapped by their very am.all number, as they have no cholee whatever, but must shove their four, men-good or no good-into a boat, and they keenly feel their position, Bat that is all fair and square so far. Only, when a member of another nationality who is in a much more fortunate position in that respect, în `addition to this, also wishes to tow in a boat
specially designed to suit a special crew, they | consider themselves handicapped too heavily and therefore prefer not to enter for the conflict.
We are el course glad that "An Old Sports- man has hitherto held a high opinion of the manly qualities of "these Danish and German gentlemen." We beg to return the compliment and to go still further in saying that, not only have we hitherto, but we yer hold a very high opinion of the manliness, fairness and justness of our British sparta-fellows, and we are extremely pleased that we have no reason to regret a mis- take in this our opinion, as gentlemen interested in former and in this year's Regatta hailing from Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales have expressed their sympathy with our cause, and hereby conclusively proven that it is not only "these Germans and Danes" who have such ideas of what is sportsmanlike, but that they are shared, to a large extent, by "An Old Sporis man's" own'compatriots,
As for precedence we will not dispute that question at all. If it has been done in years gone by there is no reason for taking it up now, and in our opinion the quickër we get away from such unhealthy and unequal practice the better, as it only tends to breed dissatisfaction and bad blood. The question takes quite another aspect when two different clubs compete against each other. Then the question of superior boats take an equal share in the laurels won ; but in a club the practice is wrong In our opinion-and "An Old Spotisman "will no doubt allow us to have an opinion, although he hints as much that it would be more befitting, if we had none, or at least the same as the Committee, who, by the way, do not all hold the same opinion-it is unfair, and we will not row on unfair terms, either one way or the other. It was sold at a rezent meeting that the English crew bad spent money on this boat, and it would be a pity if she should be prevented to be used. All we can say in reply it, that if the question of money f going to be mixed up with sport in this manner we might as well do away with the Regatta altogether.
Would "An Old Sportsman" candidly answer a few questions asked in a fair spirit ? How is it that the English crew who was so successful last year, should, in addition to their evident greater facilities of forming a suitable crew, all further reduce the chances of other crews coming anywhere near them by adopting a measure which has to say the least of it-been so gene- rally distasteful to a great number of members of the club? The dissatisfied characterize the nie of this boat as unfair and unsportsmanlike, and it is evident that by adopting auch irregular measures representatives of other nationalities lose heart entirely, as they see the perfect use lesmess under auch unequal circumstances for a moment to imagine that they might get anywhere near such a boat. Always excepting the Scotch, of course. And we know their reasons. But we shall not be indiscreet.
A matter that does not, of course, concern'as the least, but which, by some strong fact, nevertheless bears on the subject is this: Why has the gentleman who assisted in gaining the victory for the English last year not been invited to take his seat in the bost? Seemingly It is no business of ours, but we have a reason for asking. Again, how would you make the fact that the Committes in its report of last year deplores the want of room in the boat house (as a couple of pair-oared boats are very much needed but cannot be built owing to want of space) correspond with the fact that they have allowed a private boat, the Mayblossom to wit, which no one but the owners can touch, to take up the room of the much-desired boats ?
I would have liked to end this already much too long epistle bere, but "An Old Sportsman" bas, unfortunately, given us a rather broad hint which we cannot pass by punoticed. "The. V.R. C" he says, "is a British institution is a British colony, but it can justly claim to have held out the right hand of good fellowship in relation to the encouragement of manly sport to all nationalities.”

The "Vib Wên Luh" relates the capture of Peh-wa nnd Ho Fei-lung, leaders of a large hand of bandiui, reported as several thousand strong, who had been lurking in the wild country f Pao-ki Hien, on the borders of Shensi and Szechuen, and the consequent dispersion of the band
The Hupeh people have a droll synonym for a leather-worker; they call a currier, or leather- worker, Klah-yih Tang. This is a pun on the shape of the characters "kiah" which looks like a curved knife, both implements used in the something like an awi, and "yih," something trade. "Kiah" and "yih", are both characters from the horary cycle, used in scandalous stories, as we, use and I, when it is expedient to suppress the real names of the actors.

It is said the Yellow River repair works were recommenced on '2nd October, and that I Pao- chiên, Governor of Honan, has appointed Expec- tant Prefect Kwai King-ch'en to an important position in connection therewith. From the previous ability displayed by this energetic and which is interrupted by the entrance of Fairfaxi Hongkong, 1st December, 1888,
skilful officer, and from the experience and the perseverance of the Director of the Yellow River Works, Wu Ta-ch'ông, hopes are entertained that before very long we may hear that the breach has been closed.
At Snochow, in a lovely and quiet part of that Great City near the North Wall, a few nights ago the Shao family's house was entered by burglars and robbed of a quantity of clothes. The strange part of the business was, that the eldest so. dinarily a bright and lively boy, could not be aroused the next morning from an extraordinarily heavy sleep, and no amount of shouting recalled past. He did not appear out of health, and it is him to consciousness until the day was half gone thought that the thieves had used an inordinate quantity of a stupifying drug called fuukiang, which they are accustomed to blow into a room from outside through a blowpipe, introduced through, window or door, so as to stupefy the inmates with the fumes, which work like chloroform.

as the son, and some yeomen, who announce :
We've hunted high, wa's hunted low; The man we sought, an truth will nhów, The man we sought with maxious care Has vanished into empty air.
The act ends with a frenzied ensemble, in the maid her ill luck in still being a wife and which the commandant bewails his negligence, heing unable to marry the counterfeit son, and Merryman his loss of his sweetheart, who faints in her real husband's arms, while all the other characters rush off to hunt for the fugitive, leaving the husband and wife and the gaunt headsman in possession of the stage.
Two days elapse and the second act opens with a chorus of women, warders and yeomen. The contralto dame announces that the search for Fairfax has been unsuccessful, and we come to a comic dialogue between the torturer and the Merryman who jeer each other one for having lost his captive and the other his wife.
A patter song in Gilbert's best vein now occurs, beginning:
Oh, a private buffoon le a tight-ticarted Loon.
and running to five long verses in fetching Gilbert ane sullivan's NEW double rhymes. Then Fairfax (alias the son) and the maid bave the stage alone for a duet and a solo, the opening verses of which run thus:

The following is the plot in detail of Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera "The Yeoman of the Guard," lately produced in London —

The Dame of the Tower, a contralto, next enters and gossips to Phoebe and the Sergeant about the coming execution. She sings a baliat glorifying her own work. The wardera chorus it lo these words:

In the course of conversation Fairfax, infers from the dame's account of the maid's mutterings in her sleep that the latter is his unknown bride, and he exults in song. Meanwhile, to absolve himself, the warder lover pretends to have just shot Fairfax as he was swimming across the Thames. All in the accret fear that the real son has been killed and everybody drags the river. At this juncture a maliciously delayed pardon for Fairfax arrives. He and the son enter in their true characters and all is joy, except to the Merryman, who bas lost his wife; to the sergeant, who has had to marry the hated dame, and to Phabe and the torturer, who have also wedded and who feel marriage to be indeed a failure.
