As his lordship would see from the petition, they con- tended that that document standing by itself and standing alone formed the only contract between the parties, and they would draw His lordship's special attention to the wording of that, contract, because they said that it distinctly showed that no other con ditions were to be binding upon plaintiffs except the conditions which were mentioned in the contract itself. The language of the contract was set uit in paragraph we of the petition-"The Daily Press Art Supple ment," In the first place he would ask his lordship's special attention to the fact that nothing was said of the Diamond year, or of any year.

THE RACE BETWEEN THE TOR- PEDO-DESTROYERS,
Some particulars of the rice between the two torpedo destroyers, Shinoneme and Aura kumo, are published by the vernacular press, but, inasmuch as there appears to be great uncertainty whether the vessels really engaged in a race, the event does not possess much interest. The frakumo, with her Japanese crow, seems to have been making her way out fetauroly when she was overtaken at Adenby the Shinonomie, with an English crew. The Murabuna made very bad weather in the Indian Ocean, rolling through an angle and getting some of her iron-work so hot that 3+2 hands could not be laid on it. She reached colombo on the evening the Shinonomes her competitor, but seems to have been arrival there, and left two days ahead of quickly overhauled by the latter, for when she entered Singapore the Shinomene was leav ing it. The Shinonen made Hongkong several days before the farakume, but was detained there owing to some trouble which involved a trial in the Law Court, the unster being summoned by the German cook for drawing a pistol on him

under this contract was to supply sa copies of the art supplement, and extim copies at the rate of as cents each, and it was expressly stated and agreed to between the parties that the order cannot be cancelled, and that it is subject only to the conditions stated herein. Mr. Pallock proceeded to deal with the answer to the petition, criticising the paints raised therein.
D. Wares Smith, one of the plaintiffs and joint lessee of the Hongkong. Daily Press, carrobarted Mr. Pollock's opening. He said that an at supplement was issued by the Straits Thurs, the work being done by „the same posiple who fund bgap comunissionerl to excente the daily Paces supplement. When be received the inits Thres supplement towards the end of 1807 he telegraphed home saying he wanted something very much superior. When the Daily Press supplement was sent out defendants refused to accept it or to pay for their advertisement. It was not true that the greater number of the advertisers had refused to pay, $10,000 om af $15,000 having heen paid. Originally there were to be four colours, but after seeing the Singapore supplement they telegraphed home to the effect that there must be no limit as to colours, and in gonse , quence the expense had been greater.
No other witnesses were called for plaintiffs, Mr. Francis said he did not purpose to call any witnesses, so his friend might sum up.
Mr. Poflock then summed up. Mr. Francie, in opening the case for the defence, contended that the contract on which his friend relied was not in itself a contract at all. It was a mere order, and that order was given like many another order, in consequence of statements made, and an invitation held to the public generally and to defendants in particular, suggesting that they should produce certain goods or as in this case insert an advenisement.
