It is reported by our Canton correspondent, that the ss. Foek Wong, running direct from Hongking to West River ports, ha been

THIRD DAY.
The morning broke sombre and clouded for the Ladies' Day of the races, and a mist hung over the city, so that it was impossible to sce across the harbour. At 8 o'clock rain commenced to fall, and it looked ser iously as if the day would be marred by a downpour. However, about 8.15, things be gan to take a brighter aspect, the mist rolled away, the rain ceased, and the sun showed up brilliantly. The atmosphere was some. what close and depressing, as the slight N.E. breeze blew by fits and starts, so that when it dropped the temperature was sultry

The Chinese Legation desires it to be known that the names of the Secretaries of the Chinese Legation are Chen Mou Ting and Chow on Yu, and not as stated in "Whitaker's Almanack" lue 1904, Chên Xou Ting and Ivan Chea. The latter gentleman is an able interpreter at the Legation. With reference to this Mr. Ivan Chen states that he has been secretary-inter- preter to the Chinese Legation since the sum mer of 1902, and, as such, his name appears in the Diplomatic List published by the Foreign Uffice, immediately after that of Mr. Chen Mou ting. "So the precedence given to me in Whitaker's Almanack for this year is quite
correct."
THE PURSE.
The presentation of the Ladies' Purse was made in the Grand Stand. H.E. Mr. F. H. May and Mrs. May were among the large gathering of ladies and gentlemen to witness the presentation, which was made by Miss Berkeley. Mr. T. F. Hough, the Clerk of the Course, presented Mr. Johnstone, the winning jockey, to Miss Berkeley, who, amidst applause, gracefully handed the purse, in the Club's colours, to Mr. Johnstone. The rider then offered, for the lady's acceptance, a handsome bouquet of flowers, and conducted Miss Berkeley to lunch. Singularly, no call for cheers was made to the ladies of Hongkong, who so graciously presented the purse. This want

CORRESPONDENCE.

JAPAN AND RUSSIA.
To The Eutor of the "Rondware Telmoxaric“ SIR-According to the Renter's telegram appearing in one of your recent issues, it seems that a section of the French and German press- is writing against the "Yellow Perit.". By thiswe can easily imagine how Russia is puzzled over her present situation. She is playing her 'des. perate and cowardly diplomacy through the medium of newspapers under her influence, with a view to blu u ope and agitate the white people by the cry of Yellow. Peril," She is ignorant that that old fashioned feel- ing vanished with the last century, and would be quite ineffective to bring about the isola- tion of Japan. The deadlock of Russia is stavasism, which caused her to lose the sympathy of the world. Civilized races are aware that slavonism is far more dangerous than so called yellow perit, since the loser would be an actual menace to the civilization, while the falter was a mere feeling of scire, Nobody will deny that slavonism is an enemy of present day civilization, freedom and humanity, It will be a victory fr barbarism should Russia control Manchuria, and thence thrgajen all British colonies in the East. A Japanese conquest over Russia should, on the contrary, be a great gain for civilization, as Kussian defent will put a stop to her aggressive and wanton nolicy in the Nor. and Far East, and would evidently ensure permanent peace of the Eastern Hemisphere at least for fifly years to come.
Mr. Mackie o Twelve horses came to the start and the field got away well together, Mongonse leading with Fical, and Rocket close behind. This was the erder when the post was paned for the first time. At the first turn, Fiscal came to the for and Fair Trade got to the second place. These two got away from the field and there was soon a big gap between them. On nearing the Black Rock the bunch came up. Standard and Fiscal forged ahead and Chautauqua follower suit.
