Several society women have since announced their intention of following this example and dispensing with side saddles in polo playing, and hunting. The question whether such

THE GYMKHANA MEETING.
It must have been second sight that inspired Mr. Godfrey, C. C. Master to postpone last Saturday's Gymkhana, No sooner had the announcement been made than the rain set in, which, in itself, would have rendered the suce cess of the meeting dubious. Another week's preparation will not do the "ponies-any-bar, and although subject to adverse criticism th certain quarters, we think Mr. Master chose. the better part in adjourning for a week. Next Saturday, if fine, no excuse will be possible if a record attendance is not present.

A number of one-storied houses at Sinza also collapsed on Sunday afternoon, and some 40 feet of wall belonging to house No. 168 Taoyuan alley, near the foot of the North Kiangse Road bridge. A wall near the foot of the Sinza Road bridge upon which some masons were at work at the time collapsed on Sunday afternoon, resulting in fatal injuries to one of the masons who died soon after being carried into the Shantung Road hospital. A boat laden with firewood, whilst passing the Upper Boathouse on Saturday, was capsized by a sudden gust of wind, but the boitmen were rescued by the native life-saving boats.

“H.M.S. Waterwitch, "Shanghai, 181 August, 1901. "A coral patch on top of a volcanic pinnacle tising abruptly from the bottom lies in latitude 32° 15" longitude 12511 E.; it extends about mile in N.E. and S.W. direction, and is about 60 yards wide. The least depth ob tained is 18 feet, but less water probably exists. "From the S.W. extreme of the patch for a distance of mile in a S.W. by S. direction: extends a rocky ledge, the least water obtained
on which was 17 fathoms,
"Very heavy overfalls and tide-rips were. seen on the patch, and they extended about † mile NIE. and 1 mile S.W.
The shortest spots are apparently at the extremes of the patch; at the NE. extreme the sca was breaking occasionally, and it wouki probably break all over the patch ́ with a mo- derate sea running.
"The overfalk and tide-rips should be visible ship at least a mile, and, with a from lavourable light, the light-green colour over the coral patch shoutcl be seen from the same distance.

A MAN-EATING panther in Bhandara district, Central Provinces of Indin, has been (18th July) killing for a long time, sometimes even twice in the same day, and is estimated to have filled nearly sixty people during this year, besides wounding any others. The other day he broke into a house after dark and wounded -a man .50 badly that he died about five minutes later. In about half an hour he returned and tried to break into the house again to get at the body. The villagers drove him off and he went to Tola, broke into another house and carried off an old woman. Three policemen went and sat over her corpse and one of them succeeded in kill- ing the brute.
As Indian contemporary'says --All but some eight or nine British Infantry Banglions in India bave now received Lee-Enfield rifles of the latest mark manufactured at home. Their Lee-Metfords are, as stated some time ago, handed over to the Ordnance Department for examination before being issued to Native Regiments, worn-out rifles being rejected.
The
ie armament of the Native In- Jantry of the Field Army and new regiments las proceciled steadily of late, and it will now go on more quickly than before as large num bers of riles are becoming available for issuc, As to the cavalry, carbines have arrived in abundance, principally, no doubt because they are not wanted for South Africa where the mounted branches have been given the rifle. For leal startling novelty, for genuine excite. ment and periluns adventure, commend me (says a writer in Trah) to the new self-propell eil steain fire engine of the Norwich Union Fire
Brigade at Worcester. Some time ago the Brigade were called to a farm fire in the neigh buring village of Kempsey, and the motor gave a brilliant exhibition of its qualities. Sparks flow in all directions, as the engine dashed along the road. A lady cyclist's dress was ignited. Next, a passing waggonload of straw was set on fire, the straw being consumed and the waggon ruined. The roadside hedges, dry as tinder, were soon smouldering at three or four different points, and a cottager found her. door-mat burning. Two straw ricks were also set ablaze and completely destroyed. Finally, just as the fiery, untamed machine reached the farm at Kempsey, after this mad debauch of incendiarism, it was reduced to a condition of impotence as a fire-extinguisher by the busting of a boiler pipe! I must have been a some- what expensive day's work for the Norwich Union.
A Good story has just reached us of how Sandow's strength stood him in good stend anong the bullies who have lately been infest- ing the Bois de Boulogne, Their method of action is to have one of the gang follow the pro- posed victim. At a given signal several others approach and close in on him, rob him, some- intes seriously injuring him. An additional 300 police now ride about the Bois on bicycles and keep a sharp look-out. But, despite this extra vigilance, the outrages continue. One

TRESPASSING.
Sergeant W. Hullop charged To Cheong with trespassing in Murray Barracks. He found the defendant in the Barrack Room. He had no pass. Fined $5 or fourteen days.
DISORDERLY.
John Kriñun and W. Gross were up to monkey tricks. P. C. E. O'Connell could see
no bumour in it arid ran them in. There was no great hare done and they were let off with $3 or eight days.
THE CONFIDENCE TRICK THAT FAILED. Li Cha was brought up under the above charge.. Ngai Kam Kong, said he had been a money changer for 17 years in Hongkong. On Saturday night the defendant came and asked him to charge a $5 noite. He give him the change in ton cent pieces and six cents com- mission. He walked away about two paces and come back saying the commission was too little. The defendant returned the roll of ten cent pieces and wanted his $5 back. The witness noticed something suspicious about the paper, broke the roll open and found it con- tained cash. He caught the defendant."
Chan Mann gave corroborative evidence and the defendant was awarded a well deserved 3 months' hard labour.
AN OLD, OLD, STORY,
Lai Fung ping, a prostijute, charged Chun Fai with breaking up her furniture. The same old story: Chun wants his money back, fails to get it, breaks up the house.

The real reason for the suspension of military works on Liukungtao is in all probabilty con nected with the recent proposal to hand over the smaller coaling stations to the Admiralty The final decision, on the question is reserved for the next meeting of the Cabinet.
Present indications are that the Island will be used entirely for naval purposes. The Commissioner will move qver to the mainland. With him will go the military and civil head- quarters, and the centre of gravity of our civil and governmental life will be in or near Mahto, to the north of the harbour.—N, C. Daily News Cor.
RUSSIA AND PORT ARTHUR,
As the Russian Ministerof Finance, M. Witte, is shortly expected to arrive at Port Arthur on his tour of inspection over the Siberian Rail- way, the Russian residents at Port Arthur held a special municipal meeting on the 12th ulto. Captain Welsinin (?), the vice-chairman of the Council, occupied the chair and spoke about the steps to be taken for the improvement of the tide and industries of the port, with a view to laying such suggestions before the Minister of Finance, M. Protasef (?), Financial Commissioner of the Financial Department of the Governor-General of Kwangtung Province (Liaotung Peninsula), also attended the meet- ing. Amongst the headings under which it is sought to make improvements are as follows:- 1. Postal and telegraphic communications. 2. Steamship communication between Odes sá, Vladivostock. Nagasaki, Chefoo, and Shanghai, and especially in the transport of cargo.
3. Banking business, the working of the Russo Chinese Bank is not perfect; it must compete with other banks, and the importance of establishing a Discount Bank and a Munici pal Bank, &c. was advocated.
4. Coast navigation, extension of distance of voyages.
"There are depths of 27 to 30 fathoms, sand round the patch, except where the rocky ledge extends, so the lead will give no warning until within the limit where the bottom becomes volcanic rock, scoria, and broken coral
This patch is probably identical with Costa Rica Breakers reported 1968; Secofra Rock, Juna 1900; Chiyuren Shoal, September 1900; Bombay Discoloured Water, October, 1900,
Tidal streams run very strong over and in the vicinity of the rack, and they are of a rotatory nature; the stream was running south 2 knots an hour when the Waterwifch was close to the patch.
