As year after year goes by the interest ex- hibited in the various races organised by the Victoria Recreation Club, and the Hong- kong Boat Club increases and the general standard of rowing improves, with the result that we now have many keely contested competitions.

He has attended the monthly gymkhanas at 135 Happy Valley, enjoyed watching a stubborn

We now learn on good authority that he intends interesting himself, in a practical way, with rowing, and early next year, probably in February, may pull with a crew of Royal Engineers in a four-pared race agamst Royal Artillerymen. The prelimi sary steps are now being taken with a view of organising a regatta to be held at Kow loon, under the auspices of no particular boat. ing or recreation club. We understand that 13.E. the Governor has already promised to present a cup to be competed for and that several events, including

These examinations are not final as each man has a further course to go through in the gunnery schools at home. The rating in H.M.'s ships for these men has been an advance on their present gunnery qualifications, viz ;-(1) Ainan who is only a trained man goes through and if fit is raised to Qualified in Gunnery; (2) Men Qualified in Gunnery are passed into stamen gunners; (3) Seamen gunners qualify for gun layers, a rating equal to Captain of Gun.

Examined by Mr. Looker:-There were Fix partners in the business. His business was to buy, and sell from the godown. He knew what was in the godown at the time of the fire from the books. He had not been n the godown for about a fortnight before the fire. He could not say where or how the rice was stored. The godown keeper whe slept there, could tell. Some of the rice in the godown had been sold but not delivered. He had no idea how much. Not so much ęs half of it was sold.

said that he lived on the premises, of which Vip See, the godown keeper, was called and he kept the keys. He made the entries in the godown books which had been completely destroyed. About three o'clock on the after poon in question he heard a lot of coolies shouting fire in No. 2, Godown, He went out and saw a lot of smoke coming from the gedown. He went back to his own godown, locked it, ran to the shop and reported what had happened. He tried to return, but could at get near the fire, his own godown being then in flames,
