Mr. Robinson said it was an amendment with a difference. Mr. Legge's proposal was that she rule as to membership be left as it was, but dealing in a specific way with the general prize meeting was to obviate one particular objection that had been pointed out in the course of the argument and to make it, not a question for the committee, but an instruction to the committee.

The Chairman ruled the amendment out of order, on the ground that an amendment could not be proposed after a previous amendment hadbeen disposed of and the original proposition, that the military and police below the rank of commissioned officer or Inspector be ineligible for membership, was then put and carried, thirteen voting for it and seven against.

TRAINING NOTES..

Proceedings at the Race-course this morning were almost a repetition of what took place last Wednesday. Most of the Subscription griffins were "powed" for all they were worth over the German Cup distance, the Derby candidates and old ponies being restricted to about three-quarters speed gallops. Early in the morning the was rather slow, but later on it "going became fairly fast and good times might have been made had owners been on the jab." Mr. Pogose's So-desks was the first pony to gallop, accompanied, if mistake not by Senegal, and the marble-colored racer is gradually getting into shape and will probably be heard of before race-day. Defiance, with his huge ears flapping like a pair of wind-mills, galloped very slowly by himself a mile and quarter in 38, 1.15, 1.55, 2.31 and 3.05. Different people have different ideas as to training race ponies, and it may be that trotting exercise and a bi-weekly gallop at a pace scarcely fast enough to keep the animal warm constitute the proper régimėj, but I venture to hold" the opposite opinion, and consider that long before this a candidate for Champion bonours should have been treated to some strong gallops.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1889..

Ormonde was tried with Benhur over the German up distance, Mikado (Mr. Sassoon) leading the pair bome from the half-mile post. The bob

afled ex-polo pony dashed off at score and made hot running for about five furlongs and then be commenced to come back; when Mikado joined in at the Black Rock the grey for a few strides fused to gallop, but on Benhur being pulled back he pounded along to the end, finishing, how- ever, in wretched form. Ormonde's times were -33, 65, 1,478,“ 2-18) and 2.56. The Derby griffin Harbarer was sent a strong gallop in company with Precursor-oice sound, which is few yards over seven furlongs, being-encom- passed in a min. § secs.

Cherry Ripe (Mr. Maclean) and Cherry Blossom were "powed" a mile and a quarter. The first named assumed the lead at the Rock, both jockeys then riding hard, and at the village was about two lengths to the good. Once in the straight, however, the white-faced chesnut gradually made up his lee-way and getting on terms fifty yards' from the chair won cleverly by nearly a length—times 32), 66), 1.43), 2.18), and 2.521. Over the same distance Jorat (Mr. Ruegg) led St. Gothard (Mr. Sassoon) for three quarters of a mile, after which the Shanghai Griffins winner romped away by himself and finished full of running. The times-11, 6.4) 1.40, 1.178 and 2.49-were the best for this distance made during the morning. It is perhaps as well to add that Jarat's full time was 3.55. In a mile gallop Ganges easily beat Bicycle in very fast times, namely, 33. 67.1.401 and 2.12: I noticed Dunkcid striding atong in grand form, and the old chesnut will again be dangerous in the sprint races. Leap Year, Forerunner, and several others were. restricted to slow work.

AMERICAN TELEGRAMS.

The following telegrams from San Francisco exchanges were "crowded out" of our last night's issue:-

Mr. Sid's handsome dark-grey griffin Chaser was sent a mile and a quarter by himself and finished in much better form than he had previously displayed. The times were 37,1.15, 1.46, 2.40, and 2.53. It is not impossible that this reputed non-stayer may yet make a stir in the Derby betting. Rory Morn and Glencairn galloped the German Cúp distance in 37, 114, 151, 2.27) and. 3 minutes, the first named pulling over the bald faced "Sub" the entire journey. Over the Derby course M: Buxey's Arabic Skipjack, and Bombshell "powed" together, and made a close finish in 37. 1.14. 1.49, 3.26, 3.00, and 3.34. Gridiron and Wild Dash galloped in company, but I was unable to obtain information either as to the distance covered or times made, but it certainly looked as if the Amoy Champions' winner had old "Dash" safely "tacked down" at the finish,

To a runaway start Springinsfeld (Mr. Ruegg) led and rather easily beat Talisman (Mr. Boning) in a mile spin, (time 2.23) but had the pair got off on equal terms it would have been a very near thing between them, as the chesnut stays well.

The evictors went to the house of я tenant named Doogan, and found the place defended by a score of men armed with rifles, intrenched behind loopholed walls. The priests who accompanied the evictors entreated the defenders to leave the house, but the men refused to pay any attention to them. The Riot Act was then read, and the soldiers were about to fire on the house when a magistrate stopped them and notified the party that he would give them an hour in which to reflect upon the course they would pursue. Afer the expiration of the hour the defenders announced that they, would bout the defends an inities and police the attacked the house, and after a desperate struggle. were repulsed.

THE principal object for which this Com-

pany has been formed is to supply the city of Victoria, Kowloon and the Peak with the' ELECTRIC LIGHT. A subsidiary object is the supply of electric motor power wherever it may |be required, and negociations are now being. carried on with the Government to supply the necessary power for pumping water from the -- Albany Tank to a¦reservoir or tank to be established at the Peak.

The advantages of the ELECTRIC LIGHT are. '0' well recognised that but little reed be said on the subject. It is, however, peculiarly adapted for use here on account of its being almost entirely free from heat and unaffected by wind, and also on account of its almost perfect freedom,' from danger by fire."

Estimates of working expenses, cost of supply, &c., have been carefully gone into and the Directors have no doubt that the light can be-- supplied at rates which will compare favourably it with the price paid for gas in the Colony, while for quality, power and convenience, the light will be much superior to any other kind of lighting.

In the estimates are included cost of sufficient enging power, plant, &, for Electrio Street fighting on the well known Are1› System!- Negociations, with a good prospect of success, are being carried on with the Goverment for, a contract for this purpose.
