In the adjoining pretty Farm Core, below Govern ment House, and fringed by the Botanical Gardens, are many beautiful yachts moored, and just outside all the English and foreign warships anchor. In the bars on the opposite shore are big ships and mall and tramp steamers, one of bays being Neutral Bay, where the Austral (Ortent line) sank some years ago. Just around from Farm Cova Circular Quay opens out. Here one comes upon the P. & O, Messageries Maritimes, and Orient Liners on the eastern shore, together with some big clipper saling ships The southern end of the Quay is devoted to ferry boats, from the fine Manly paddle-wheelers, and the North Shore boais, down to fussy little ngs and launches. The North German Lloyds has its wharf on the western side of the Quay under the shadow of the Sallose' Home and Bethel Church, and the German Co's, wharf abed is a very pretty structure, with highly ornamental facade and red tiled rool. The Marine Board, Custom House, Shipping Office, woolstores, brokers, and tug best offices are all along the Quay in close vicinity to the shipping, Continuing along the Quay, West Dawe's Point, with its boat houses and Rowing Club sheds, is passed, the shore being crowned by an old batter,

THE JAPANESE MINISTER, We hope that the report of Me. Ohill coming as Japanese Minister to the Korean Confti without foundation. He was here for some date a few years ago and gained an unenviable reputation for his bullying policy in regard to the Yuensan bend case.
