THE "KWONGSANG."

from Who's Who we learn that the Right Reverend John Charles Hoare, UD., Bishop of Victoria, was born at Ramsgate, on 15th Nov. 1851, fourth son of the Rev. E. Hoare, Fonary Canon of Canterbury. He was educated at Tonbridge School, and Trinity College, Cambridge, being a Trinity Scholar, securing the second class Classical tripos in 1371. He was curate at Trinity Church, Tin bridge Wells, from 1874, when he was ordained, unul the following year. In 1876 he came out to the East, and was appointed Pringyal of the C. M. S. Training college at Ningpo, China, from 1876 to 1898, in which latter year he was consecrated Bishop of Victoria. His publications comprised several Theological books and commentaries in Chinese.-Ed., #.KT.).

The two New Fairway bunys, which only last Sunday week were placed in position, got adrift and capsized, drifting in-shore. They were, however, secured and moored to ather. buoys temporarily, antil they can be replaced, but it is feared that before this can be done the moorings will have to be re-laid, as almost all over the Harbour the moorings have been drag- perged out of place, by the straining of the vessels
