In order to attain the highest success in the treatment of a Care by Natural Water, it is far better a mudy thoroughly one kind, and master its peculiarities, than to experiment with different sorts, each having a different dose and special attributes of its own.

The advantages of one mineral water over another may be put under the following heads→

1-5m-liness of dose.

*1-Absence of unpleasant effect.

Sul-hater of Sóda and Magnesia in nearly equal proportions.

4-Absence of unpleasant taste.

'On examining the chief waters on the Eng- 1ish market with a view of making a selection, -one is truck with the fact that a newly-imported water, the 'Franz Jasel, contains 190 and 178 rrains to the pound of Sulphates of Magnesia and Seels respectively. This is much in excess of the quanties contained by either Hunyad! Innos Friedrichshall, or Aesculap. It is evi dently the strongest water by far, whilst at the same time it fortunately happens to be almost tasteless!

MEETING OF THE HONGKONG JOCKEY CLUB.

THE "MUCKLI HOOSE ON THE WAR PATH.

An extraordinary meeting of the members of the Hongkong Jockey Club, convened for an extraordinary purpose that of considering the adriability of expelling a prominent member for having been convicted of being party to an sileged conspiracy in November, 1800, under a new rulo claimed to have been passed in February, 1891, was held in the St. Andrew's

The Chairman-Gentlemen, the resolution, which will be proposed and seconded is "To decide whether or not Mr. Robert Fraser-Smith shall be expelled from the Club under Rule 40," It gives me great pain to have to bring och thing forward, and I am sorry that it has been done, a Mr. Frazer-Stalib is as good a sportsman Hongkong has ever known (applause). The proposed resolution is a most severs one, and if it is carried to-day I hope it wont be final, and that it will be annulled at the subsequent con- firmatory meeting, and I would suggest that ballot should then be taken instead of a show of

ย

hands, as I think that will be much fairer to Mr. Fraser-Smith. This resolution has been brought forward by ten members of the Club, and the Stewards have concurred that it should be brought before the members, but they do not all agree with it, Mr. Fraser-Smith has been a leading "sport" for many years and has done more for racing than any man in Hongkang, and there is nothing whatever against his meing character. Mr. Fraser-Smith got into trouble In Court in something not connected with racing, which might be derogatory to his character there has been some correspondence and some explanation has been given, and perhaps Mr. Fraser-Smith will to-day make a further explanation! He hoped that every member would d divest his mind of any animus towards the gentleman who had to undergo this trying ordeal. His past conduct as a racing man entitled He had always been a fair him to that. sportsman and sometimes a successful one, but whether successful or not, he had done his best in every way to keep sport going (applause). He got into trouble over something not connected with racing, and what the members had to consider was whether anything be had done was derogatory to the Interests or good order of the Jockey Club.

Mr. E. Mackintosh-I quite agree with what the Chairman has said about divesting our minds of any feeling of animosity, spite or any. thing of that kind in reference to this matter. Certain gratlemen met together and decided to send in a requisition that Mr. Fraser-Smith be expelled from the Clab. That requisition and, I believe, the unanimous support of the Stewards of the Club. The question before us is whether or not Mr. Fraser-Smith is to be expelled from the Club. If the resolation is carried, well and

annoyance he would be compelled to us physical persuasion.

Mr. Fraser-Smith (continuing)-I want none of your impudence, Mr. Veltch, nor from anyone else, and I claim the protection of the chair from these satellites of Jardine's...

The Chairman-Will anyone second your amendment?

Mr. W. P. Maclean-I beg to second the motion for adjournment.

The Chairman—It must be an amendment as there is already a resolution before the meeting. Mr. Fraser-Smith-Let me put it in this way. Will the Stewards, after what they have fast hard, agree to the adjournment for one week?

Mr. Francis-I think it would be well before going any further to call Mr. Fraser-Smith's attention to rule 22, which blads all members of the Club to the observance of the rules and regulations and of the by-laws made thereunder, or of any other rules regulations or by-laws from time to time in force in the Club, Mr. Fraser-Smith In Joining this Club agreed. to submit to the rules. Now rule 40 says that say person whose conduct has been lojurious to the character, interests, welfare, good order or credit of the Club may be expelled. The fact that he has been convicted and imprisoned as a criminal and remains still to the present day under that staln

Mr. Fraser-Smith-I was convicted in 1881 of a similar offence, a 'misdemeanour, for libelllog Bandmans, and for ten years have been member of the Race Clab with the stain of that conviction on my character and not one word has ever been said against min (hest, heat).

Mr. Francis So many gentlemen in the newspaper profession have been convicted of libel that the offence has come to be thought a very trivial thing, and the gentlemen su convicted may not suffer in the estimation of their friends. But when a man is convicted of a thoroughly dishonourable attempt to ruin another man's character by bringing against him one of the foulest charges that can be brought, the character of the offence for which that person la convicted and imprisoned is very different indeed. A conviction for such a conspiracy-certainly in my opinion and I hope in the opinion of every one present-unfits a man for the society of gentlé men. The question is not whether the member affected was convicted in November or was still

At a meeting of the Stewards held the previous evening the Hon. P. Ryds was induced to consent to take the chair, and he assumed that position without being elected but without opposition. The Stewards were all present with the exception of the Hon. C. P. Chater, who is la England, and Mr. W. H. Forbes. The Hon. J.J.

The Chairman was very much hampered in his duties by the fossy efficiousness of Messrs. John Grant and R. M.

Mr. Master-I beg to second the resolution now before the meeting. A great deal has been said about divesting our minds of certain things. I think we should divest our minds in this consider the question is to thether or not Mr. Instance of racing matters altogether and simply Fraser-Smith's conduct has entitled him to be expelled from the Club. Whether or not he is a good sportsman is entirely apart from the not dealing with his character as a sportsman, but with his private character. I feel assured that of the ten gentlemen who signed the requisition upon which this meeting has been called, there is not one who has done so from personal feeling, but simply with a view of advancing the interests of the Club.

Mr. Fraser-Smith-Mr. Chelman, before we had some assurance from the Stewards as to going any further, I think It would be as well if the legality of the steps they have taken. Rule 40, under which these proceedings have been taken, was passed at a meeting held on the 21st January last. I was not present at that meeting as you are well aware, owing to the cock

redness of Hongkong justice. I have asked to be supplied with a report of that meetlog, bat bave been refused a copy of the notes taken by the shorthand writer. now give the Stewards formal netice that I will take advantage of that refusal in any proceedlaga I may think it to take. I have been informed that it was distinctly stated and understood at that masling that the rule was not to be retrospective. Those who were present can either corroborate, or con- -tradict that statement.

The Clerk of the Course said he had received a letter from Mr. W. H. Wallace on that subject, the meeting. Mr. Wallace was present at the meeting in question and had certainly been under the impression, that it was distinctly understood that the proposed rule was not to be retrospective; but within the past day or two explanations had been given him which con vinced him that his impression was wrong

the present day. I do not think that any court would hold the application of this 'rulo in such a case as being retrospective Any voluntary association of this description would be perfectly justified in expelling Mr. Fraser-Smith, and what this rele contains is not the power to expel the expelled. Now, on being consulted, I advised man but the manner by which he may be

Let them be read, and I willingly court the opinion of the members present as to the sentiments I expressed upon that occasion. (Hear, hear),

Mr. Fraser-Smith-I have the strongest objec tion to being held responsible for the actions of my friend and colleague, although I am proud to own him as a friend and colleague at a meeting at which I was not present (applaase).

He was To

Mr. Master was understood to say that he made no such promise as to the rule not having retrospective effect.

Mr. Fraser-Smith-I should also like to ask, while dealing with this matter, whether the Stewards think that this rule can possibly have retrospective effect. On the 20th November for an alleged offence, I was sent to prison. The rule was passed on the 27th January, following,

Mr. Francis-I do not seek to hold Mr. Fraser-Smith responsible for what his friend did, and never said anything of the sort. [Mr. Fraser-Smith-Yes, you did. (Hear, bear.)] This meeting is called, not for the purpose of or refuse to pars, the resolution propored by Mr. Mackintosh. It is not competent to consider in any particular, or general way, whether the rale was legally passed or not. It was passed at'a properly called mesting of the Cluband confirmed at another. Mr. Fraser-Smith and his friend were both present at the confirmatory meeting and neither of them held up their hands to vote agalast it,

Mr. Fraser-Salih-I protested against the resolution being put, and called upon the Chair man to read the mlautes of the previous meeting, which he refused to do on the advice of Mr. Francis, that as the meetings were not consect tive it was not necessary, The Francis dogza was upheld.
