gave the verdict a draw.
After an interval of about half an hour Sam Newman, looking in the pink of condition, entered the ring at exactly 10.15 p.m., attended by Jim Christia as principal second, and im- mediately after Smith followed and met with an ovation. He was esquired by bluejackels, and his condition showed a lack of careful pre- paration. Mr. Billy Waters officiated as referee and Mr. Logan held the watch. After some preliminary remarks by the referee, which were quite inaudible, the men faced each other for
ROUND 1.
Both men crouched slightly, Newman not so much as customary, and sparred warily, Smith stopped Newman neatly with a lefe on the mouth and sharp exchanges followed. Then Smith placed a right punch above Newman's car. Rapid exchanges followed, and on com- ing away Newman's daal showed evidence of the visitations of Smith's left. A sharp rally
followed and Smith stot Newman to the floor with a left jolt on the chin. On restaining his feet Newman placed successive solid rights on lo Smith's ribs, the latter replying with a stif jeft hook on the chin. Hammer and tongs fighting closed a splendid round and the men went to their corners amidst the cheers of the spectators.
. ROUND 2.
Smith opened with a double icad at the head, both getting home and a rally followed. Smith again landed left stabs on to his oppon- ent's mouth, and the latter's visage bore tell-tale marks, both eyes being partially closed. After some mixed fighting in which both men dealt put punishment freely Newman went down to a left punch on the side of the bead. Newnan, on regaining his feet showed a strong inclina- tion to clinch. After cautiously sparring Sammy placed rapid left and rights on Smith's bady, and Smith retaliated with several left jabs on the mouth. Smith's ribs showed red patches from the effect of Newman's "solid counters, and he appeared weak on his pins. Fierce in-fighting, and Newman's dexter duke reached "Baby's" body twice. Smith's hits now lacked vigour, and it was evident that Newman's short arm body punches were be- ginning to tell. Corners brought a most excit- Hing round to a close.
ROUND 3.
Both men sparred warily for an opening and Smith led lightly with his left. A rally ensued and Smith swung a weak right on to Sammy's ear. After more sparring Smith jabbed his left on to his opponent's mouth several times, Newman drawing first blood with a straight left on the nose. Smith was now palpably weak, while Newman's condition stood him in good stead. Notwithstanding this aspect of affairs Newman failed to take advantage and "corners" sounded without further fighting.

AN INCIDENT NEAR THE NEW TERRITORY. The village of Sham Chun is some ten miles over the border near the station of Sheungshui in British Territory. A week or so ago the Shunti, named Kum Tak, who is an official in charge of the Chinese braves, was called upon 10 arrest a Chinese woman. on the charge of kidnapping two girls He succeeded in execut ing the warrant and held his captive for several days to enable sufficient evidence to be obtained against her. Meanwhile the woman became and as the sickness grow he liberated the prisoner, with the result that the complainant protested against such a course and had her earrested. The same evening she died and it was alleged that the friends of the Shanti had poisoned her. The whole question was subruitted in a magistrate in neighbouring lawn, and inquiries were instituted. These have been in progress for a week or so, while

KIDNAPPING.
Kidnapping is carried on to an unustal extent in Shun Tak, Rich men will not venture on the streets except at the busiest hours. Chan Tsun was the scene of a dastard ly outrage a few days ago la one of the streets lives a native doctỗt whose practice is among the rich people, and who has become quite rich through the gifts of his patients. A few days ago a stranger called at his house and asked him to go and see a patient. He was told that a boat was waiting for him. The docter al once accompanied the stranger. They entered the bo together. The boat was rowed to a lonely placa and then the doctor was told that he must pay $1,000 or be drawn- ed At first he refused, but when he was put into the water and held just high, enough to free his mouth he soon promised to pay. This tok place right under the nose of Wong Sung, the Viceroy's deputy, who is now stationed at Chan Tsun to catch and punish thieves ant blackmailers.

was a powerful appeal to the wealthy Chinese to invest their wealth for the advancement of their country. That riches should be boarded for the use of sons and grandsons was condemned. If. wealth were invested, the country could be deve loped, and employment found for the masses of the people. Ten years ago, if such a doctrine had been promulgated, the needed historical supports would have been sought for in the an cient history of the olden days of Yeo and Shun. The modern writer now points to America and England." One bad coly to glance at what was going on before the eyes, on the steamer, to see evidences of change. Four Chidess and one Englishman were 'sit- fing and conversing in English. The Chinese could converse fluently, and one of them at least was free from the taint of a foreign, ac-
cent. Near them sat another reading an English newspaper, and, the way in which he handled it, showed that he knew his way about. Feathers shows which way the wind blows.
YOKOHAMA'S DEFBOTIVE PORT FACILITIES.
The Japan Mail states that a Commitice, consisting of Messrs. F. J. Abbott, Montague Beart, A. Harmasen, E. J. Libeaud and W. T. Payne, appointed by the shipping interests of the port of Yokohama, called on the Director of Customs on Saturday with the view of devit. ing some means whereby to relieve the con ......gested condition of the import sheds, and to secure a more prompt delivery of cargo, which in some recent cases has remained over a month on the haloba, buried under subsequent arrivals. The committee was very courteously received by the Director of Customs, who gave careful consideration to the subject. It was. evident from his replies to the various sugges tions put before him, that Mr. Mizukami is most anxious to do all in his power to improve the situation. ` #

- MR. SAUNDERS' SUGGESTIONS.
Voluntary registration has been suggested but under local circumtimices would, in my opinion, lead to very mini madon, would have to be made compulsory bugh it might de restricted to certain trades. In any case compulsory registration would have to be gradually introduced, trade by trade or street by street being compelled to register in order of Inipnstance. Whatever form of registration is insisted on, it nerd not be expected that all persons who by English law are partners will register as such, but creditors will know exactly to whom they have to look for payment in case" of failure.
