SECOND DAY, SATURDAY 25TH JANUARY, The state of the wind and sea was much more favorable for rowing than yesterday, the water along the Kowloon shore being comparatively smooth. Proceedings commenced with the four-oared race over the mile course between crews representing Singapore, the Navy, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and the Victoria Recreation Club respectively, favoritism being pretty evenly divided between the three local boats. The Singapore rowers' perform- ance yesterday had discounted their prospects, of success, and even money was freely offered that they would be last, and one bet of a thousand to twenty was laid against their winning.

On Saturday, shortly after midnight, a fire broke out in a shop in Lyndhurst Terrace, known as the Fashion Emporium, belonging to Mr. J. Gomes. The proprietor saidthat he left no light in the shop when he went out, two or three hours before, and yet, in a few minutes from the outbreak being discovered, the whole of the shop was blazing fiercely. Some Japanese girls, one or two Europeans, and a China-boy, who lived above, had some difficulty in getting out, as the door was locked and they had to scramble round the verandahs into the next house, The Brigade arrived promptly, and worked so well that in about twenty minutes the blaze was: quie extinguished, the rooms above the shop being practically, uninjured. The place was insured with the Hongkong Fire Insurance Co. for $10,000.
With 16 runs to the good the Services started their second innings in a wretchedly bad light, and at 5 o'clock, when stumps were drawn for the night, had lost eight wickets for 67 runs, Champain (18) and Blair (13) alone offering any opposition to Fox's slows. Play will be resumed to-morrow forenoon, and a close finish will probably result.
