From the British North Horneo Herald we learn that the third anny race meeting of the Maredu Turf Club was held at Hudal on the 1st of May, and the editor adds to his introductory remarks that "there was a large attendance of Europeans, over forty being present."

A DESPATCH to the Universal Gazelle says that the Germans at Jitchao bave mounted guns at all the importint passes to prevent a likely disturbance by the local desperadoes who have congregated there in large numbers. The Tancheng Magistrate lately arrested six of the ringleaders and refused to release them on bail when applied for by over a thousand of the villagers.

Another was similarly punished for speaking during the examination,
