TRAINING NOTES.
The attendance of spectators in the enclosure this morning was even larger than usual, and the proceedings were full of interest. Although still far from satisfactory, the race-course was in much better order than, it has yet been this season and some very fair performances, by the time test, were registered. Needless to say that Defiance was the first pony on the track, and this splendid goer was sent a mile and a quarter by himself at about half speed, covering the distance in 37, 1.14, 1.53, 2,258, and 1.57, As this pony is believed to be quite up to Champions form-he cost taels 1,500 in Tientsin, I really cannot imagine what use there possibly can be in sending him along, within three weeks of the race-meeting, at a pace which any Subscription griffin can improve, on without an effort. Mr. Humphreys knows quite well that to win the big races with Defiance he must beat Orlando, A CRICKET match H.K. C. C. v.

privileges. When a small body of men, with or without the authority of the Crown, settled in North America in the old days, or, more recently, in Australia, they took with them all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of English law. Of course in entirely barbárous or uninhabited countries there is no law except their own. But when they come to a place like Hongkong, in which there were some seven or eight thousand inhabitants, the question arises what laws will prevail? Under some circuma- tances the native law would ordinarily prevail. If the country were simply occupied English Inw would invariably prevail, and it would depend entirely on the Crown how long, and to what extent, native laws and customs should be recognised. In a country ceded after war or conquest the question would be decided by. the terms of the treaty for instance, in Mauritius, which was conquered from the French, it was stipulated in the terms of cession that French laws and customs should prevail among the French. But there is one broad exception to this law. No law can prevail which violates in any degree the broad constitutional principles of English law and English freedom. When wa toole possession of many of the Spanish colonies in the West Indies torture was a part of the criminal law, but the moment Britain hoisted her Bag, although Spanish law still prevailed in most respects, torture was abolished. It is within the prerogative of the Crown, too, to declare what laws shall prevail, unless con- ditions have been laid down in the cession. The Queen can say whether the native laws shall continue, or to what extent, and so on. Here in Hongkong, for instance, in "April 1845, the Queen, through the Legislature, decreed that all laws in force up to that date should prevail. You

We have never attempted to interfere in the least' degree with their marriage customs, their habit of adopting children, their succession to property, etc. Is some questions of course, like mercantile contracts, which have come before the Courts, their customs have been ignored, and the English interpretation applied to the contract, but so far as my experience-which is now getting somewhat considerable-goes, no questions of whether this women is the wife of that man, whether an adopted child is to be recognised, whether succession to property is to be by Chinese custom pr English law, have come before the Courts.

These enterprising gentry, who represent various nationalities, are credited with having obtained control of a very large proportion of the Company's scrip, and in addition have purchased" on time" several hundred more shares than are actually in existence. When the date arrives for delivering these latter shares the "short-sellers," unable to

It is an almost invariable custom in this enlightened colony of Hongkong to impute interested and selfish motives to whoever takes upon himself to expose a public scandal. And this Steam Launch 'Có. exposé has been no exception to the general rule. A rumour has been industriously circulated-by interested scoundrels, of course--that our comments were influenced by the very important fact that the 'Editor of this journal had "short- sold the paltry trifle of one thousand shares. Personally we could well afford to treat such a statement with the contempt it deserves, but as several correspondents have thought fit to make inquiries on the subject it is perhaps as well to state that it is absolutely without the slightest foundation. The Editor of this paper does not and never did gamble in shares and stocks; he has not now nor at any other time sold a single Steam Launch share for forward delivery, and he has never purchased any. His name appears as one of the original promoters of the Steam Launch Company and as a holder of fifty shares; feeling dissatisfied with the management of the Company he sold these shares at par-and that is all. If any of the ragged army of brokers, with whom this report undoubtedly originated, are in a position to prove their allegations, we invite them to do so, and we now have to apologise to our readers for having been forced to descend to a personal explanation of this
character.
The question of how to prevent a recurrence of this latest Share Market. abuse, which we understand is now under consideration by the Government, we propose discussing in another article.

Mr. Lightwood's improving pony and Dot ran a close race home, the little un, if anything having the best of the finish. The times were-351, 69, 1:461, 1.26 and 3.07.

Mr. Buxey has an exceptionally strong string of highly tried griffins, most of which were spun out this morning over the historical mile and a balf. The first tric were Skipjack, Scapegrace and Fisherman, who recorded 37, 1.14, 1.50, 2.26, 3.02 and 3:36, the finish being a very close one.

St. Gothard (Mr. Sassoon) easily beat Maloja (Mr. Ruegg) for a mile in 3.15, a very fair performance considering the weight carried by the winner. Dunkeld cantered slowly, and I noticed Silken Mead tearing along but not in his old form. Post Boy, Intely on the sick list, covered the half-mile in 663 seconds, moving very freely and finishing full of running.

Shortly after ten o'clock the ponies in the stables of Messrs. Sid and Ess were galloped ou the training track, which is very much faster than the rice course. For a mile Chaser distanced Benbur, in 314, 65, 1.39 and 2.12, the dark grey showing marked improvement both in his style and finish. In a mile and a quarter spin Cherry Blossom beat Cherry Ripe by a head after a hard race from the quarter mile post-times 36,60, 1 45. 2.25, and 2.52.
