V. R. C. AND H. B. C. TO THE EDITOR or the "Homasong:"Telegraph". Sin-I was very sorry to see the letter you published yesterday evening over the signature - of "V, R. C." There is a nasty tone in it that any tund sportsman should be above and which must necessarily lead to a tin pot rivalry in feel- ing and newspaper talk, while the rivalry is real ly wanted in deeds, not words. The Hongkong Boat Club is as exclusively inoperative as the Victoria Recreation Club is, well, ɛny mixed. I trust these two bodies will come together and give us something worth seeing instead of standing off and bickering like two old washer-
Yours truly,

CANTON NOTES.
STRIKE OF THE FISH GUILDS. (From our own Correspondent)
CANTON, October 17th-
A few days ago I reported that some caler prising gentlemen had secured pennission 10 reclaim a large extent of land along the river in the neighborhood of Wong Sha. The gentle. men are not having an easy time of it. At first little notice was taken of the undertaking as no one supposed that it would turn out to be. a money making business. Soon it was seen $50,070.60 that there was money in it and claim for 29.134.63 damages began to multiply. Now the men who deal in fish along the river bank declare that their business will be ruined. If the pork of reclamation goes on and other shops are built between the fish shops and the river the boats in which the fish are brought cannot get near the fish shops to discharge their cargo. So the fish men say their business will be ruined. It was all talk until this moming, when most of the fish dealers throughout the city closed their shops, and very little fish is exposed for sale. It is rumoured that the fish guilds are endeavouring to get the rice shops to strike with them. There is nothing 'serious in the situation and in à day or to some solution will be reached. In the meantime fish will be a luxury.

COLLEGE FOR TEACHERS.
It has been talked about for some time, and is now discussed by the native papers, that the Viceroy wishes to change the charactór of the Kwong Nga Shu Un, or the Viceroy's College. This college accommodates about two hundred students from the two Kwongs. The college is always full and the students spend their time in preparing for higher degrees. The Viceroy now proposes to turn this college into a training school for teachers. This is an excellent idea and should be put into effect. It will be diffi- cult indeed to find the right person to put at the head of such an institution, but let us hope that the Viceroy may be successful.
AN INTERESTING EVENT" FOR HOLLAND.
One is only revealing a very open secret in Holland in stating that in due course an interesting event is now confidently expect ed by Queen Wilhelmina, and that the whole country is agog with the hope that it will be a son and heir to the throne. Most of the Queens:
and Princesses of Europe are engaged at the moment in preparing some suitable present
for the occasion, and it may safely be said that there is not a single Dutch home-but what is busy upon something for that eager ly-expected Koyal babykin. The wives of the Cabinet Ministers are giving a cushion on a silver salver, the women of The Hague a beautiful christening robe, the ladies of the Dutch aristocracy a cradle of beaten silver, suramounted by a life-sized angel, and so on. it is cordially to be hoped that little Queen Wilhemina will be more lucky than the Czarina and the Queen of Italy, or even than our late Queen, who was disappointed of a son in the first instance.--".

'PITCHING IT STRONG,
The Morning Port of Raleigh, North Caro lina, has a correspondent in the village of Wilson, in the same State. That correspondent contributed the following paragraph to the fashion column. The young ladies thus describ. ed are fairly entitled to international fame: "Among the many rare and radiant maidens who will fing their spell of witchery over male bipeds at Morehead next week, Wilson will lend two of her resplendent jewels in the exquisite persons of Miss Ellen Bronch, whose luscious temperament furnishes a glorious nestling-place for the inspiration of the sweet- est and fondest affectians; and the jubilant and sparking Miss Daisy Whetherbee, whose fash ing. wit and exquisite humour and eloquent repartee and enchanting charms make
her in
all circles the cynosure of attraction and the object of admiration-yea, these will be two. of the jewels that will glisten so brillantly in Morehead's richly-gemmed coronel of spark ling beauty next week."
