between £90,000 and £100,000. As long ago as 1769, the famous Eclipsa bought for £75, won Captain O'Kelly a neat little sum of £71,000, whilst in Bend Or's famous year the losses on Robert the Devil, who ran second, were estimated at about £250,000,

ness Enstern Railway Company's offices Mines were planted about the town, and these the Japanese engineer corps were engaged in removing. The Russians had destroyed the waterworks mains. The correspondent states that on the night of the 16th ult, about 3,300 Russians left for Port Arthur by fail or Junk, and on the following morning mounted bandits entered the city. They were joined by Chi-ly Bese coolies, and for two days the city, was plundered, until these operations were checked by the arrival of the Japanese. It was learned that the heads of the two principal Chinese firms had been taken prisoners by the bandits, and Y30,000 was demanded as ransom. Half the amount being paid, one merchant was set free, but the other was carried away as hostage pending the payment of the balance. When Captain Kawasaki arrived from Kinchau to open the administration office, there were eleven Japanese residents at Dalny, three men and eight whmes.

Of course the expenses of training and

up keep of a possible Derby winner are exceeding heavy but then just look at what a difference is made in the value of the horse. When Mr. Blanc buys a Flying Fox for £39.375 and Sceptre as a yearling colt was valued at 100,000. Other big prices for animal who also have distinguished themselves in the big race are Ormonde, £20,000 Matchbox, who was purchased by the Austrian Government, for £18,000 Gallee More for £32,000 and St. Blaise for £21,000. Still, with all these figures to show that the owners sometimes do well with their racing, they must mostly lose huge sums. The Earl of Jersey is accredited with the loss bf £400,000. In ar years Lord Almonth won about £250,000 and then, after selling bis entire stud for £115,000, yet be proved in the end the looserof tens of thousands of pounds. In two years the Duke of Portland won £100,000 in takes alone and yet be is generally alleged to have lost much more than that sum-with-his- bets. Everywhere we find it the same-a big amount on the wrong side of the owner's ledger. These facts, for facts most assuredly they are, are not cited with the intention of proving that racing is immoral. They merely indicate in no uncertain manner what modern racing costs its chief devotees. What the annual amount lost and won in the British Islands a twelve-month totals would assuredly prove of interest, were such a record kept among the public records. and might, if necessary, lead to improved legislation upon a malter in which the #fade dists" have apparently, of late years, hnd it ́ all their own way,"

A SOLDIER'S EXPERIENCE. A letter describing the experiences of a sol- dier of the Imperial Bodyguard at the battle of the Yaly is published by the Fiff. The letter is written to a friend in Tokyo and is worth re- producing, describing as it does the feelings of a soldier during battle. The writer says:We crossed Tiger Hill at a am. on the rst May, and rested on the River Ai, facing the enenty, who were about five hundred metres distant. We were waiting for daybreak, well entrench- ed, and eager to commence the attack. The bright moon was high, as if watching the move ments of the enemy was lighting the way for our army. We all felt happy. I will say something of my personal feelings during the fighting and of what I saw.
