I understand that the number of entiles for the different events somewhat exceed these of last and previous years, and this, together with the new departure that has been made in the form of a bail-mila bleyela race for ladies, should ba sufficient to ensure a most apccessful and enjoy. able afternoon's sport.

Mr. W. Machail delivered an exceedingly interesting lecture at the Cly Hall this after noon, ander the auspices of the Odd Volumes Society and belote a large audience. The subject was "The Chlaaman as a noidler" and the way in which is was treated by the lecturer showed that he had made it a deep and serious study, He opened by referring to the uncertainty attaching to the term “Chinese soldier," and then proceeded to quote the views of Supt. Creagh and Sir J. Pops Hennessey as regards the relestial fighter." The latter In 1880 had suggested that Chinese troops should others leading the the former spoke of them as learning the use of arms much quicker than Indians, The use of Chinese in.dlars in the operations against Canton and in the Taiping Rebellion was touched upas and then Mr. Machell, who was con amors on the good food and fale pay, na army was more
