VICIORIA REGAFTA,
FIRST DAY.
The forty-seventh rowing meeting in con. nection with the Victoria Recreation Club, commenced to-day over the usual course. Weather of the most delightful character fav. oured the event, and the large river boat, Kong Tuns, which served as the Club's flag ship, and which was guily decorated for the occasion, was positively crowded with guests, all of whom were bent on spending a thorough. ly enj yable afternoon. Unfortunately, a great deal of time was lost, at the crammencement, the Secretary's launch not leaving Blake Pier until nearly one o'clock, whilst the fist race was fixed for half an hour later." On arrival on board the Kwong Tuy 2, the guests and nålarge number of members of the Club, sat down to an excellent luncheon, served in the saloon, The general arrangements, it need scarcely be said, were quite up to the high similar of ex cellence we are usually led to associate with all fnctions under the auspices of the Club. ed and somewhat obscurely worded state-To-day, apart from the brief delay, was a ment of Admiral Rozhdestvensky as virtual happy "angury of the complete success of the ly admitting that the Russians fired on one Regatta, and we have lit le doubl but that the attendances will be well maintained through- another.'

President Roosevelt, in his message to Congress, carnestly recommends the build- ing up of the navy. He cites the lessons of the war in the Far East as showing that the main reliance of the navy must be on great battleships, The President dwells on the importance of enlarging the trade in Asia and suggests a permanent display of Ameri. can produce at a prominent centre in China, in view of the advancing exports.

The band of the 110th Mahratts Regiment, by kind permission of Licut-Col. R. S. Bird- wood and officers, was present on the flagship,: and played an interesting programme of music during the course of the afternoon.

After this the Gernians reversed the positions, for after drawing level they paused their op ponents' and maintained a skirt lead. Both crews were pulling hard, but it was evident that the Germans were taking matters pretty calmly. After covering two-thirds of the course, the English boat got well ahead-ard increased the advantage to nearly a length up to about two hundred and filty yards from the
After many disappointments, the long ex- pected visit of the French Squadron bound for the Far East, in Bombay harbour, became at last an accomplished last when at 10.30 a.m. on 16th ult., was discerned on the horizon a line of war vessels headed by the French cruiser Descartes. On nearing the harbour, it became certain that the vessels were none other than that portion of the French Fleet which was expected in Bombay. It was a novel sight to see so many vessels steaming up, and many sight-seers gathered on the Pier head and at the windows of the houses, over-winning post, when the Germans put on a looking the harbour, says a Bombay exchange. vicious spurt, and pulling at least seven to 'The Descartes is the principal vessel in the the rppanent's five, won a very hard fought

UNFULFILLED PROPHECIES
New York, tath October, The financial aspect of the war in the Far East is again occupying attention here. There is no reason to modify the statement cabled you last week that the shrewdest of American business men are disposed to back the staying powers of Russia rather than of Japan. New York financiers have been sounded lately as to the prospects of a loan being simultaneously floated in this market and in London.

6 One banker is reported by the lerald as saying that "he would not touch a Japanese loan with a forty-foot pole," and another known to be favourably disposed to Japan could find no more encouraging remark to make than that there should be little difficulty in floating a Japanese loan here, "provided the security for the same be deemed sufficient, and the price right," which would appear to go without o saying.

The Russians, who cleared opt at six am, had given the Chinese carte blanche to loot and destroy everything they had left, and by eight o'clock the stores were in a blaze and the stations wrecked. That it would-be poly a short time before the rest of the European settlement was in danger was perfectly evident, and, as no means of resistance was available, the fate of its inhabitants at the hands of a riotous nob, whose worst passions had been let louse, can easily be imagined.
