cription. It was no part of the duty of our local Commission to inquira into the effects which the use of opium has on Europeans or Indians comparatively with its effect upon Chinese, but there is a far greater tendency among both to go to excess in the use of any stimulant or narcolie than there is among the markedly phlegmatic and frugal Chinese For that reason we have not a word to say against the bill passed the other day by the American Senate forbidding the importa tion of opium except for medicinal purposes. As far as the Chiocic who have been accustomed to it are concerned, smugglers and, down-at-beel doctors will supply all their reasonable needs, and there in no harm in keeping it as far away from other people as possible. In China itself, either inside or outside spheres of British administration, the position is entirely differ enl.

CLERK OF THE COURSE-Mr. T, F. Hough. The sunual racemesting held under the suppices of the Hongkong fockey Club begun at the Race Course in the forenoon to day. A dense fog hung over the Valley batil shortly before the saddling bell, but before the masters for the first race entered the field the veil of mist had lifted and a bright warm sum shone over the green carpet, giving the scene around all the beauty and colour of a summer's day. The private stands both within and wilk

out the cactosurg wore their usual gay aspect,. From the stand of the sister Services near the entrance to the list owner's stand at the fit eastern end of the paddock there was displayed | a profusion of bubling and evergreen usually associated, with the embellishments of the buildings within the Valley, during our great tace carnival. The face Stand, since the last meeting, has been altered out of recognition, fun of architects, Mears. Leigh & Orange, under The structural improvements carried out by the the personal supervision of Mr. A. Bryer, have afforded increased accommodation forthetheus ands of visitors who watched the races from the Stand to-day. Alterations include the doing away with the old fight of stops and in place of several long tiers of comeni-rendered steps give the front of the Stand the appearance of a galery on which the spectators obiained an excellent view at every stage of the racing. Under the roof, over which the familiar colouten praise her resolution and give assurances of the Jockey Club floated to the breeze, la: (which will cost them nothing) of ready creased accommodation was also provided. assistance.

We fear, however that the false step was taken when a promise was given to reduce Indian production and export of opiutn in 1906 The wiser course at thai date would have been to inform the Chinese Govern ment that we would not stand in the way of her desire to introduce a reform, dad that on receiving independent evidence that cultiva tion of the poppy was being stopped in China we would undertake to stop it in our own possessions to a proportionate extent. That would have been a far more effective way of helping the reform, than the ten-year system of reduction actually adopted. In the one case there would have been a clear induce ment to China to see that reduction did actually take place. In the other we are

Some exceedingly trenchant, not to say sarcastic, home-thrusts anent the opium trade and the Commission at Shanghat appear in the latest issue of the atmits Times. The reference is primarily concerned with the Colombo Opium Bill, which, it seems, has been withdrawn pending the report of the Shanghai Commission. Humorously our contemporary remarks that it does not know why any bill should be introduced or drop: ped-because-of-the-proceedings which are taking place at Shanghai. But, from some of the remarks which have been made on the meeting, it would appear that a certato number of people are still-under the delu sion that the delegates of the various coun- tries have assembled for the purpose of kolding au impartial inquiry into the culli vation, the commerce, and the consumption of opium. That is most certainly not the case. Anyone who takes the trouble to cast an eye over the form of invitation issued by the United States, will find that the iniquity of opium using was taken for granted, and all that those participating were asked to con sider was how to put an end to it.
