THE Fuji Shimpo is engaged in a crtside against titles of nobility and all other artificial social distinctions. Our contemporary, says the Japan Mail, among all the papers in Japan. is most uncompromising in its opposition to such distinctions, as being inconsistent with the equality of human beings. The Fiji goes un fat as to recommend the Käiskin-do and the Ribéry Jiyu-to to cambioc and form a Commons party, refusing to admit to its ranks persons possessing any artificial distinctions. The ultimate object of our contemporary in proposing such an extra- ordinary course is to rouse popular opposition to the excessive influence of officialdom in society.
THR "gap" on the Rialto on the 17th inst, was generally that Mr. Henry Sylva, the well known Shanghai sportsman, had come specially down from the North to see Home Grand win the Challenge Cup and Champions.

When Home Guard vanquished Zephyr in Shanghai, it was not a question of relative merit between the panies Charlie Macien simply outrode and beat Dallas; Zephyr is the better, pone of the two over any distance, and if well ridden at this ensuing Hongkong Meeting, he will win every race he statis for.

Tur Shanghai Mercury's Hankow correspon. dent writes under dite the 7 h instant: "This morning abrot.half-past ten a fire broke out at a tea-box manufactory, facing the British Con. cession, which for a time threatened to destroy a great deal of property. The building adjoins on öne side the compound of the London Mission Hospital, which building fornearly twohours, was in very great danger. The native fire engines mustered in considerable force, and, together with the Municipal Council's engines, played vibrously on the burning buildings and on the adjacent houses that were in danger, Happily the fire was at last brought under, but not till the whole of the large house in which it had originated had been gutted, and all the tea boxes and wood stored there had been either burnt entirely, or at least enough to make them valuclést. A Canton carpenter's shop, on the side away from the hospital com- pound, was in part pulled down to prevent the fire from spreading, but neither the shop 'self nor the timber in the yard was burnt. Had the hospital caught fire. it is difficult to say where the fire would have stopped, as other buildings close at hand would almost certainly have ignited also, and the fimes might easily have spread from them to other tea-box manu- factories in the immediate neighbourhood and have caused a.configration similar to the one that took place four years ago, when many acres were cleared by a fire on the back road of the Concession.

The revenue, including a balance brought forward from 1st year of Tls. 5.332.95 amounted to T, 25,6 g, or a net revenue of Tis. 20.350, almost the same as in 18'9.

The subscriber for 1890 exceeded those of 1887 by 8, and the number of joining members had been exactly the same in each year-30. With regard to the Bella-vue mortgage it would be seen that the amount outstanding stood at Tls. 5,000 instead of Tis. 7,000 as last year, Tis. 2,000 having been paid off.

Mr. H. J. Limby said he had been requested, by several members who had gone to Hong- kang, to ask why, the meeting was held in February, the rules providing that it should be held in January.
The Chairman said the Stewards quite ad-" med the force of Mr. Limby's remarks. It was unfortunate that the meeting should be held at a time when so many members were absent a Hongkong, Kule No. 11, however, provided that the accounts of the Club, duly audited, should be printed and circulated among the members at least ten days before the day fixed for the annual meeting.

The Stewards had the matter under considera. tion several times, and they thought that if the rule could be altered to 3 days instead of TO days the raceting could almost certainly be held In January. It would, however, be necessary to call an extraordinary meeting to alter the rule. - Mr. J. A. Sullivan thought it was very extra ordinary that the general meeting could not alter one of the rules.
