In India, asqclarwnaxe (sayla correspondent); bicycles are in fall lavour just now. Even the Jockeys use them, and it is curious to see the number that are ridden down to the recreouse every morɛ:log. A weil-kaowo trainer says that the majority of jockeys won't ride a horse down do the course but prefer their bikes. A Cycling Gymkhana was held a listio while ago la Calcotia. The programme embraced a musical ride on military llocs, a slding competition for ladies, tebi-pegging on cycler, and some comic and novel events,
A LOCAL Japanese paper, says the Yekohama Herald, reports that Mr. Dickinson, ai the Hongkong and Shingbat Banking Corporation, was robbed of 31 aritcles of clothing and 285 yen, by Truchiya Säkichi, a boy employed at the Club Hotel, where Mr. Dickinson was lodging The man pawned the clothes with a pawnbroker at Motomacht Itchome, but Mr. Dickinson' having given taformalion to the Settlement Police, Mr. Nakajims, a detective, found the stolen clothes in the pawn-shop, whereby the culprit was traced and he was arrested on the 30th ulto.

The London & China Express hears that the regulations the Japanese have made with regard. to the camphor trade of Formass are still the subject of diplomatic vegoitation. Seeing that in only about two years' time the interior of Japanese tellerits will be open to made and reakdance by foreigners, there seems a very good cass that what existed as custom under the Chinese Admla!stration should continue for so short a time unill it becomes, by treaty, a right. There is naturally some difficulty in iba matter but the British Government Is dolog what li can, and feels somewhat strongly on the way the Japanese Administrailon bas treated British subjects in the camphor trade.

THE last mall brought news of anniber wreck' involving the loss of four lives, on the rocks esx Ushant, not far from where the Drummond Castle was lost. The Ul-fated vessel was the steamer Belgique, bound from Bayonne to Antwerp, which got out of her course, as the survivor allege, through some defects in the lights ashore, and struck on the rocks. She very quickly filled and sapk. Eleven of the crew got Into the second Webpar, and, after drifting for thirty-six hours and suffering terrible privations, were picked up by the Glam Dochert und landed en jan, gth at Dover. Three others gat in a small boat and succeeded in reaching Breat. The captain (Capt. Kacriting) refused to Igaye his vessel, and he and the remaining three of his crew were lost.

THE dress rehearsal of "Les Cloches de Cornes ville" by the Amateur Drama’le Club took place fast-aight at the Theatre Rayal, before a fall house. The plece went off without a hitch and the stage manager and conductor deserve every praise for the able manzer in which the plece has been staged and the chorus trained. The Scenery is most effective, especially in the second *act where some fine moonlight effects are Intro- duced. The dresses are pretty and the colours zo srianged as to avoid any clashing one with another. Serpoletta's costume in the last set is pariicularly striking while the 'get up' of Gobo is comical in the extreme. The plece However, appears to be rather long mod If many encores are responded to will probably need cutting down a little to avoid treeding on the heals of the morning,
THE CHINESE IN FORMOSA.
The question of the status of Chinese in Formosa has again come up for discussion. Art. V. of the Shimonoseki Trenty reads sa fallows :
The lab of the territories ceded to Japan who wish to take up the residence outside the ceded' diatricts shall be Elbery to sail thate real property and retire. For this purpose & priod of two years from the date of the exchange of the railies one of the prosent Act shall be granted. At the expiration of that period thing of the inhabitants who shall not haw laft such terftories shall, at the option of Japan, ka doomed to be Japanesa subjects.
In regard to thir question, the Yorodu Choke learns from the authorities of the Colonial De- partment that the number of the Chinese residents in Formosa at present is between 3,200,000 and 2,500,000. During the time of Count Kabayama's tenure of the office of Governor-General, a colice was issued from time to time, reminding the Chinese that they were at liberty to dispose of their real estate and leave the island during two years from the date of the Shimonoseki Treaty and that those who elected to go would bare their passaga maney paid. They were also reminded that if they delayed disposing of their estates andil the last moment, prices would decline, and they would

Before closing this notice of the races must give the Police a well-deserved word of praise for the manner in which they performed their duties throughout the meeting. The men on duty on the course were under the control of Deputy Superintendent Corcoran and Chief aspector Mackle and they performed their doties very efficiently. The Important matter of regulating the traffic was in the hands of Inspector Mann (No. 1. Station) and this energetic officer and his staff discharged what has been a really arduous duty in the most xiisfactory manner, net one accident or mishap being reported.
The band of the West Yorks, conducted by Bandmaster Bentley, played in front of the Grand Siand to-day and their excellent music was much cojoyed.
