If I had sixpped a chair-conlit and been fined twenty-five cents, a conviction for a misdemeanour would have stood just the same..

Mr. Fraser-Smith-If the Stewards are sub- servient enough to be led by the dictation of the learned gentleman, I am quite prepared to retire from the meeting.

Mr. Francis-If Mr. Frater-Smith has any thing to say in justification of his character, the meeting is perfectly willing to bear him, but an attack on the characters of others is irrelevant

The Chairman-You had better sit down, Mr. Francls; you have spoken too often already.

There was another consultation amongst several of the Stewards, and the Chaimmas, evidently at the prompting of one of his colleagues, remarked that he would now put the resolution to the meeting.

Mr. Fraser-Smith protested, as he had not been permitted to finish his defence, and said that he would leave the meeting and defend his rights as a member of the Club in the proper quarter.

THE JOCKEY CLUB MEETING.. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HOME TRZEGRATE.”- SIR-Upon reading the printed report of the proceedings of yesterday's meeting ofthe members of the Hongkong Jockey Club, which appeared In the China Mall, (the reporter of which rag, by the by, la either twin brother or first cousin, to Munchausen of sacred memory) I was struck with a remark which was made by a person who is known, and trades in Hongkong under the name of J. J. Francis, anent a meeting of members of the Jockey Club which was held on the 27th January last. This man Francis has the additional prestige and privilege of writing Q.C., after his name, and of course, where his character is unknown, anything reported as having been sald by him might be taken a being true; consequently my chief object In addressing you on the subject is to correct this worthy apostle upon a point of certain interest.

He is reported to have sild that he “advised the Stewards of the Jockey Club not to give the notes of the meeting (that of January las) to Mr. Fraser-Smith because of the extraordinary and scandalous conduct of Mr. Fraser-Smith's friend and colleague, Mr. Mecican,"

Circumstances.

The question is asked, cannot the authorities do something for the relief of the large numbers of unemployed in the city and suburbi? Certainly they could. There is the river, for instance, which much needs dredging between Limpoo and the Bridge, and several thousands of hands might with advantage be engaged on the work. But money is required for any public work of this kind, and where is the money to come from? There would be no Government grant, and the funds would have to be raised by a special levy on the people, which we conceive at the present moment would lead to general dis- malfaction. However wishful the benevolent mandarins may be to grant relief, it would appear to be out of their power to do so.

fa the midst of so much complaining about the badness of times, a good thing comes to the first-class hotels, inns, tes-louses and Opium deus in the city, in the thousands of students now assembled there for the triennial examinations.
