Five Guiding Points.

In conclusion it may be suggest- ed that the succeeding five points should guide consideration of the matter:

(1) Business Interests which have grown-up under the extrality system at the treaty ports cannot be written off at a stroke of the pen. These interests are legitimate and China has nothing to gain by Infringing or jeopardising them.

(2). The change in the political atmosphere since existing treaties were drawn up must be frankly reengnised by the powers, and every effort made to meet Chinese susceptibilitics on the matter.

The golfing season being in full swing, the Telegraph has arranged for the publication of an interesting daily feature. dealing with various aspects of the game, which will com- menco in our issue of Monday next.

Entitled "Settling the Point In Golf," cach daily article will deal with a specific issue. upon which players may be somewhat hazy. There will be an illustration accompany- ing each explanation.

The explanations have been localised and are thus made to apply with full force to the rules which apply on Hona..... kong's courses. Golfers will find in this" series much that la of value and interest,
