Downs has arranged another boxing contest, to be held at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, on Thursday next. of the evening. is to be a contest between Con The principal event, Sheenan and Mike Collins for the heavy weight championship of the Colony. We are informed challenges have been sent to other pugilists of repute but have not been accepted, hence the contest for the championship. Of course it? will remain open for any other handler of the gloves to challenge the winner. Both Sheenan and Collins have been in careful training and cach has his backers, so a good display of science may be expected. The contest is to take place with four ounce gloves under Marquis of Queensberry rules, the contestants. being allowed to wear soft bandages. The. other contest of ten rounds between Morgan and Pickett should also be of interest, for." both are noted boxers in their respective Ships. Altogether the coming contests seem to pro COLD.mise good sport and we should advise patrons
to book as easily as possible.

Ajax, the man whose bones have been eliminated, is nightly the admired of those who witness his marvellous performance. The wire act of Master Willie and Nellie Harmston Love is a feature of the bill that calls for plau dits from the audience unstintedly and well merited by these juvenile artistes The acro batic feats of Gilbert Eldred and his troupe of atheletes, in conjunction with those funny clowns Cusco and Weatherly prove very diverting and the Frezagonda's are winning golden opinions for their terpsicorean revels.

SPORTING GOSSIP,
Galloping really started in earnest on Satur day last and will now be continued up to the meeting. There were a few gallops this mox- |ning, but nothing of much account was done.
This morning Kismet, Sir Horace McMahon's. Derby waler was sent a mile-and-a-half, which distance he accomlished in 3min. gsec, not so good a performance as he has done before. Mr. Lewis' waler went a mile-and-a-quarter in amin. 375cc, a fairly fast time considering the strong wind which was blowing. Kismet may have been spoilt in his gallop by the same
Cause.
Among the walers for the Derby I have possible favourite, but as this animal was heard Mr. Darius Glory mentioned as 2 recently suffering from club-foot, I think, -even at this early stage, he may be considered surprised if he shows sufficient form during to be out of it. At all events, I shall be greatly the next few days to be put in the same streat as Kismet, who is undoubtedly the favorite.
The entries have now been published and show up well, as may be judged from the following synopsis: First day, Wongnei-chong Stakes 10, Victoria Stakes-21, Maiden Stakes (Australians)-18, Valley Stakes (Australians) 22, Foochow Cup-7, Hongkong Derby (Aus- tralians)-22, Lusitano Cup-21, Compradores' Cup (Australians)-21, Hongkong Cup-191 Encouragement Stakes (Australians)22 Second Day, Flyaway.
