On Saturday the weather continued Ane and in the afternoon a large sumber of ladies and gentlemen were present to witness the firing. The Valantzera paraded at 3.30 with the guns and went into position on the sandy beach acar the Naval Rifle Range where they awaited the arrival of the General Officer Command- fog. At 4 o'clock Col. Elidale arrived and the first sampan was ret adrift. The firlag then commenced. The Maxims began and threw a shower of shots round the sampân which was about 1,300 yards distant. The 7 pis wera fired Independently, with Maxims in theintervala. The first shots at each target were of commen shell and afterwards thrapnel was used.

TURF NOTES.
BY KARLY BIRD. The Sumatra brought further news of the training for the Shanghai Autumn Meeting, and es I have received some tips from a corres- pondent that may interest many of the Tele- graph's sporting readers I may
as well submit them for publication without delay.
There are 21 entries for the Criterions (c mile) and it is remarkable that although there is a falling off in the sggregate number of entries yet for this classic event the total ties with the largest number ever estored for the race, name- lỵ, ia în 1890. This fact bears me out to my statement that the quality of the cattls is as good an ever and that therefore the racing will be as laterssting and exciting as it has ever been, mad that is sayings good dent. It may be added that the entries for the much caveted Shanghal Stakes (14 mile) are only one short of the "record," and that the 43 entyles for the Flyaway Plate (7 furlongs) break all previous records.
For years past. "Daybreak" has been justly regarded as the most reliable informant of trains Ing operations on the Shanghal course. He used to keep the North China Datly News wall posted and since he has become "all to all" to Sport & Gossip, I fud that journal excep. floasily well pasted. Every Sanday morning it comes out with the latest turf news, giving to those who take an Interest in the racer a record of "times" that

It is not to be expected that the Telegraph's readers will be thank'ol for the fullest particolars of the performances of all the mokes in tealzing and therefore call from "Daybreak's "time-table nates that I think wil prove most acceptable, giving more space to the Hongkong and Amoy representatives than to
