SATURDAY'S GYMKHANA,
A RECORD MEETING.
Although the attendance at the fourth-nees- ing of the Hongkong Gymkhana Club, which was held at Happy Valley on Saturday Inst. was not what one would call good, yet the very exciting finishes in each race, and especially the large dividends paid at the pari-mutuel s'and, which were tie best paid cut for some time, made up for the small attendance. The weather, though very hot, did not appear to have made any difference with the sports. The jockeys took in different means for prosecting themselves from the sun; the members' stand was" roofed," while the majority of others had either to remain in the shade under the grand- stand and view the races from there, or saunter ou and be "baked." A few seconds before the starting of the first race His Ex.ellency the Governor, Sir Matthew Nathan, arrived and was met by Messrs. C. H. Ross, H. P. White and J. A. Jupp, who conducted him to his stand. The band of the West Kent Regiment, ander the charge of Banda astes F. McKelvey, was again in attendance, rendering appropriate

respond to the police flag, but in Shanghaient events- where matters are complicated by extraterri torial jurisdiction, the River Police are not permitted to board any European vessels, even when their services, as on Tuesday, are applied for, the Municipal l'olice have not the right to board any vessels, even in such narrow waters as the Soochow Creek, jurisdiction on the water, where Chinese boats are concerned, be ing vested in the River Police. We are thus confronted with the fact that when police assis. tance is required on hard ship, and the call- flag is hoisted, there is no one who is legally entitled to answer the summons. To illustrate the gravity of such a state of affairs, let us sup. pose that the affray on the Brannka had Beddenly developed into an attack upon the Europeans on board.. Unless the mutiny signal were hoisted, when the British warships ja port would serid assistance, the vessel would still be as much neglected as she was yesterday It certainly appears that some arrangement should be come to by which the River Police, at the very least, should be obliged to report the hoisting of the police flag to some responsi. ble authority.
