The dull weather that pre- vailed during the afterncios, followed by threat. ening rain clouds, was probably the means of keeping away a number of chicken-hearted spectators. Notwithstanding this the old torf enthusiasts turned out in full farce. It mattered nothing to them whethers typhoon was around the corner, it mattered not that fresh blood with unpronounceable names were going to secure the laurels of the day, for the turf on- thusiasts realized beyond peradventure that the "mokes" named in face the starter afforded a chance for speculation and the possible chance of winning a few dollars.

"No building shall be allowed on the Sha- meen exceeding the height of sixty feet mea- sured from the coping of the Bund to the bighest point of the building, including the ' corners, but not including the chimneys,"

Two letters were read from Hongkong archi- fects, the gist of whose opinion, according to our Canion contemporary, it seemed was, that it was unwise to erect buildings of a greater height than sixty feel, on account of sand and mud strata in the formation of the island and the circulation of air.

Mr.Zundel, of Messrs. Arnhold, Karberg & Co., whose proposed five story building seems lo have caused the framing of the bye-law presented, called attention to the fact that before begin ning operations he notified the Municipal Council of their jatention to build the structure and had secured permission to black certain streets with material ordered for use in said building. That they had driven piles and or dered all imported materials and entered into contract for the completion of
