The old, old story, we suppose We can't afford to be more explicit; the risk of an action at law or a criminal prosecution for Abel is altogether too gruesome a contingency to contemplate with aquanimity under existing circum- stances. There may be lots of law in Hongkong,-at all events there are plenty of lawyers-but justice is a scarce commodity. And legal robbery is the worst form of the article. But to resume our tale.

The Umpire's decision, on the face of it, is absurd, and can never be maintained. If the men in Stewart-Lockhart's boat claim the victory without rowing again, they ought to be piloried. We really cannot imagine what Mr. John Andrew, who knows something about the rules of boat-racing, can have been thinking about when he gave such an idiotic decision.
