The five furlong race should be a good one, although there seems only one horse in it, and that is Loyalist, Accidents happen in the best regulated families, and Loyalist might elect to have-n gallop once or twice round the course on his own. Mr. Pontifex, we hear, will ride Loyalist in the" absence of Mr. Cruickshank. He will have his. hands full, but is quite capable of managing the horse, who is more nervous-than vicious.
The dog race should be a most interest- ing event, and everyone who owns a "dawg " should bring him along, as it is post-antries and no fees at the same time arrangements must be made to have them accurely ried while the rac- ing is going en. We wonder if there is a Vorkshire whippit in town, then we should see what a racing dog can do. The tent pegging is bound to attract a great deal of interest, as it is one of the most exciting sports for the onlooker, and too rarely seen in Hong- kong.
The three quarter mile tace should result in a close finish. Favourite Ruse is spoken of as going very strong in bis gallops and, in the hands of Mr. Cox, should be close up. Unfor tunately it is uncertain if Mr. Master's pony will be sent out, as he laped himself in some unac- countable manner a day or two ago, but if any thing like will have a big try for the prize.
The entries for each of the events have been most encouraging, and only by carli contestant being ready to start immediately after the finish of the previous race, can the long delays that have proved so trying be avoided. Special notice should be taken of this, as it is most important to the success of the meeting.
The Gymkhana Committee are providing refreshments both in the grand stand and above the paris mutuel. In fact Mr. Master and his committen have worked hard in the face of imany difficulties, and we trust the public of Hongkong will reward the efforts of these gentlemen in a suitable manner.

AŃ IMPERIAL POSTAL CABLE
SERVICE.
The Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce sends us the following letter, from the Ottawa Board of Trade, for publication -.
Ottawa, Canada, June 20th, 1991.
To the Presklent-of
General Chamber of Commerce, Hongkong,
China. Sit-On behalf of the Olawa Board of Trade, the President and Council have the honour to submit the following remarks, together with the appendices hereto, on the movement to secure the cheapest, the speediest, the freest, and the most effective means of intercourse between all the King's subjects throughout His vast empire,
Representing Trade and Commerce in the Capital of Canada, the Ottawa Board of Trade feels it a public duty incumbent on them fo take this means of expressing the conviction they have reached that all the British posses. sions throughout the world should be directly connected by State-owned telegraph cables under the control of the Post Office.
Such a Scheme is regarded by the members of the Board as an effective means of fostering trade and stimulating commercial activity, at the same time constituting a band of Imperial unity of inestimable value.
The proposal requires not only that the connecting transmarine cables should be under Goverment control, but likewise that the land telegraphs of the several British possessions should be State-owned. The land telegraphs of the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the

The mortality and sickness among the Germans still continues, but is not due as suggested to typhus, but typhoid, and is largely conduced by their wholesale consumption of bad water, a fictitious thirst being promoted by their consumption of bad beer and spirits some sickness in the form of relapsing fever has also prevailed amongst our camp followers, attended by some mortality, but the medical men have not beeh able to dingnose its origin. The disease is infectious and the cases have to be isointed, and I believe its sprend is being successfully checked now. It is presumably a form of malaria. The French health bill is fairly good, as both military and civil anthorities have united to control the men and prohibit consumption, of bad water and water melons, From the earliest days of the French accupa tion they had distillers at work and the men had as much pure, water as they needed, and several caught drinking, impure water were promptly matic examples of The Consul and General have also waged war against the water ́melons, which do'such deadly work.

Before my idea of the Troupe remaining was mooted, a number of both civil and military suppered the fair damsels at the Astor Home, as a mark of their appreciation of the high

„it" don't spare thań.
More than a year ago the scheme of world encircling telegraphs was earnestly considered by this Board, and resolutions were then passed pointing out the necessity for establish ing the Pacific Cable as the initial link in such a system of State-owned Cables, It is a matter of great gratification, to the Board to know that the Pacific Cable is now being established, under a joint agreement he- tween the Home Government and the Govern-" ments of Canada, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and New Zealand and that there is every prospect of Canada being connected with the United Kingdom at an early date by a State-owned Trans-Atlantic Cable. With, these works completed and the Canadian land' lines nationalized, the whole distance from England to the shores of the Indian Ocean, say at Perth, the capital of Western Australia, will be covered by a series of Cabies and land telegraphs under state control. Perth is near the 116th meridian east, while it is 244 degrees of longitude westerly from London. Reckon- ing by meridians of longitude, therefore, two thirds of the Globe will be girdled by a State. owned telegraph service so soon as the Pacific- cable and Canadian lines associated therewith are established as national works.
The necessity for connecting India and other British possessions in Asia with the Imperial system of telegraphy must, however, be re cognized. "Un reference to the papers appended it will be found that the Imperial scheme of cables to traverse the Indian and Atlantic Oceans between Ferth and London, embraces the following werk viz:
Cable from Western Australia via Cocos 1sland and Mauritius to South Africa, with branches to India and Singapore--9,100 miles. 3. Cable from South Africa via Ascension and Barbadoes to Bermuda, thence to Canada and the United Kingdom 6,600 miles,

Clayton of are cordially invited by the Committee. The the Perak Civil Service was married to Miss tomorrow, they eat, to a dime and place Heatrice Dickens, the fifth daughter of the late to-morrow, the 24th, and ladies are also Charles Dickens, Esq. of Gad's Hill Kent, cordially invited by the Committee,
and grand-daughter of the famous novelist, Only a small party of friends were invited, and these subsequently attended a reception at Cluny Lake House, the residence of Mrs. W. L. Watkins, from whose house the wedding Look place. The bride, who was given away by Mr. Watkins, wore a beautiful gown of white elbows, and old paste buttons. The hat was of white crinoline, with chiens and old paste buckles. Mr. A. F. Worthington, of Pahang, acted as best man. There were no bridesmaids. By one of these accidents that are considered mere links in the chain of events in the East, but are regarded as romantically adventurous at home, at one time it seemed that the ceremony, might have to be postponed on account of the absence of that most essential party to the ceremony, the bride herself. But the then Aliss. Dickens, who had never seen the East before, was a passenger from home by the Saniki Mary, and was coming out to a country where her foned was the only individual. she knew, and she was to meet him at a port where even be was a comparative stranger. As the steamer jens scheiluled to arrive here ́at. daylight, the wedding was arranged for 3.30. o'clock in the alteration, which bour-theg oficiating clergyman, Kev, W. H.-Dünkerley, and the Cathedral alike were ready, and so was everybody else. Unfortunately, however, the Sanuki Maru did not arrive until after 3 o'clock. The bridle had not, even time to proceed to Mrs. Watkins house to change, but was able to take advantage of the kind hospitality of Mrs. Dunkerley, at whose residence she quickly changed into beautiful a bridal costume as has ever been seen in St. Andrews, and was in the Catliedral and in the middle of the wedding service at 4.30 o'clock, only an hour late.

CURIOUS RIFLE-RANGE
FATALITY.
A correspondent of a Bombay paper, writing from Chirat on the 13th July, says:
A sad incident has occurred in this small hill station, resulting in the death of a soldier. "H" Company of the South Wales Borderers was going through its annual course of musketry at the rifle range on the morning of Thursday, July 11th, and Private Hughes (the deceased
was standing awaiting his tum, and was talking to Privates Evans and O'Brien of his company. He was about a yard in front of O'Brien, who was imitating a man of his regiment, and had a cartridge in his mouth, representing a cigar, He had the breach of his rifle open, and dropped the cartridge from his mouth into the breach, at the same time closing the breach. or simply closed the breach has not been Whether he pulled the trigger simultaneously definitely ascertained, but the trigger moved and the cartridge exploded. Evans santch- Hughes had been missed, but the man feil ed the rifle from bis hands, thinking that
to the ground, and it was seen that he'bad been shot in the right thigh. A dhooly was sent for to convey Hughes,to bospital. Every- thing practicable was done to pull him round, but he gradually became weaker and weaker and died at 3.30 pm On a post mortem examination being held, it was found that the bullet entered the thigh about the centre, from the front, and travelled upwards, shattering the 'hip bone and eventually coming out at the back. Under the circumstances, medical opinion states that nothing could have saved his life.
GANG ROBBERY IN SELANGOR,
A desperate gang robbery, states the Afalar Mail, occurred at Kepong on Saturday night
The American Consul General in Siam, in a report Intely published by the State Depart ment at Washington, says that on September arat next, which is the anniversary of the King's birthday, the Siamese Government will begin the issue of a paper currency. The notes will be of 5, 10, 20, too, and 1,000 ticals and, by a royal decree, will be declared legal tender throughout Siam: except at the office of issue The new currency, will be of great assistance to trade, as there is much confusion and loss under the prevailing system. At present anit in the south the silver tical and the Mexican dollar. On account of the slow communication, the trader is often at the mercy of the Chinese money changers, whose charges are sometimes exorbitant. Again, the advantage that paper currency will have over the heavy, bulky silver coin will be very great, It is the intention of the Government at first to The N. Y. K. Co.'s steamer Hakata Maru hold the notes against silver for purchase by (European Line) left Singapore for this part on anyone who wishes to use them. It is anti- cipated that the banks will be heavy purchasers, 22nd inst, and is expected to antive here
on the 18th inst, -'- The present bank notes are not legal tender and often will not be accepted among the ignorant, even in Bangkok.

Quite so. But the Telegraph never raised any question about Shanghai. It was Foochow our correspondent wanted to know about.
