A light easterly breez prevailed at the start, and all except Dari loffed out sharp to wind- ward of the Victor and then set spinnakers for The wind drew the run to Stonecntiers west more northerly on a proaching the island and spinnakers we e handed. Dart gave the point a very wide berth, and the rest steered closer un der the fort, but on hauling to the wind there was little to choose between the four leaders Payne, Stella, Dart, and Ladybird. Some clox and interesting cro-stacking then ensued, Stella and Ladybird hugged the island shore closely. while Dart boldly ato d out in the strength of R. Lammert, not out, the tide, which was then setting to the westward into Chin Wau Bay. The result was that the two former boats took the lead and the east point of Stonecutters was rounded as follows:-

A panto was recently caused in Ningpo, says. the N. C: Daily News, by the rumour that the Ningpo Taotai had sent his family to a place of safety upon the news of Japanese men-of-war being seen off Chinhai. To show that it was uufounded Wu Thotai sent his wife and the female members of his family in sedan chairs, in great pomp and state, preceded by all the para. phernalia inseparable from a high Chinese official, to the "Women's Refuge" and "Women's Re- formatory" in the city, for a day's wandering about those large and rambling institutions of Tocal charity. The fact soon became known that the Taotai's family remained with him, and as this was a proof that the mandarins felt seguro, confidence was again restored, in the city and suburbs of Ningy

The sixth monthly. Carbine competition for the Company's championship challenge cup, which took place on Saturday after- Doon over the 200 and 500 yards dis- tances on the Police Range, Kowloon, kindly lent for the occasion by the Captain Superin- tendent of Police, resulted in a fourth win for Ginger Smyth, the holder of the cap, with a score of 59; 30 at the former distance and 29 at the latter. The afternoon, which was fine and not to warm, seemed favourable to good shoot- ing at the shorter range, but at the longer dis- tange the light proved very deceptive, and do doubt contributed largely to the collapse of sma of the marksmen who might under more favour- able conditions have been expected to show good results.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PRE88) SIR-In your leading article on Tuesday last, in which my name is mentioned, you say that ---- In the draft submitted to the Sanitary Board on the 17th instant a section appeared providing that the height of houses on land hereafter bonght from the Crown should be limited accord- ing to the width of the streets, the conditions with regard to existing property being much more liberal.”
This is not quite the true reading of the draft. which laid down one height of bonsess in streets of less than 20 feet in width on land bought from the Crown after this Ordinance and then went on to lay down certain heights for house in all streets above that width whether bonght before or after the passing of this Ordinance
Now what I argned was:-Ist.. that thero little or no land left in Government's hands
