The fifth series of exchequer bonds, for one hundred million yen, will be issued early, in May.

INTEKPORT CRICKET.

SHANGHAT'S THANKS.

At the annual meeting of the Shanghai Cricket Club, the Chairaan (Mr. A. P. Wood) said that the team they were able to send to Hongkong made a very good fight indeed, They were a united team and worked splendid. ly together. That was half the battle in all cricket matches. Although they were unable to bring back Shanghai's los flag, they did their best, and much better than was expected. "The thanks of the Club are due to the Itongkong Cricket Club and the friends who did so much for our team, who all returned saying they had never had a better time, and everything that could possibly be done had been done to make them thoroughly cojoy the visit to Hongkong. I am sure that all the members with join with me la Branking the Ilongkong Cricket lab." (Applause.)

Mr. flew raised the question of colours to be won by Interport teams, and requested the Committee to elect some definite colours for Interport leams. He remarked that "the Cap tain at Hongkong specially asked us not to wear them as they were an eyesore." These were the red and white caps-the. Club colours.

The Chairman said that the colours of the Club had always been red and white.

•

•

Mr. Dew pointed out that the Interport teams had worn three different colours. He thought they should have different colours to the rest of the Club, but that definits colours should be fixed on.

As evidencing the fact that Mesars, E. C. Wilks and Co, do things thoroughly, and lose no time when they take a big undertaking in band, visitors to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company's premises at Kowloon, may see a new piece of work in hand there. This is the cofferdam, which is being built for usa in the salvage operations of the Sully. The bed-timbers have been laid, and the structure is already taking shape, so that it is easy to judge of the magnitude of the work We learn that Mr. W. C.

The cost of the voyage of the Baltic Fleet must be a serious item to Russia. The actual value of the units composing it, allowing for the heavy depreciation on the older vessels. such as the Navarin, Sissot, and Dmitri,.

The most valuable of

The Oslabia was a little less expensive, while the Sassot and Navarin are probably worth to-day a million sterling between them, though they originally cost £1,750,000. The equipment of the fleet with stores, provisions, charts, mines-of which carries an immense supply, to be scatler- ed about Far Eastern seas-coaling ap- pliances, and so forth, could not be man- aged for much under £1,500,000.

very dark and rainy, cleared and by daybreak on that day thousands of Chinese of all ranks were on their way to the hills north and east of the city. Before midday the hills were literally covered with men and boys, and it looked as if the entire male population had taken itself thither. The roads leading out of the city were as crowded as the narrow streets of the city during the busiest business hours. During thursday the crowds were just as large as on the previous day. Then, too, the beggars of all descriptions were out, and the road side was lined with mea and women begging. The lepers were scattered here and there. The Tsing Ming is the great harvest for the baggers and this year they seemed to be very suc cessful.

Apart from the fact that in Hongkong the men able to give freely were few and the calls on them many, there were few permanent residents in the Colony. Yet in spite of this, concluded the speaker, Mr. Southam would leave them con- scious of good work well done, and after all, what are the shortlived triumphs in the field of sport,'in the arena of athletics, in commerce, politics and even science itself, compared with 'the consciousness' of having done something to lighten the burden of your fellow-men and to help in the battle of life.
