CAPTAIN'S cup.
It would be difficult to find a more popular win than that recorded in the above competition for the month of June. Captain Murray Rumsey has never won this Cup before, although he has been adjacent to it on numerous occasions, and this was bis last attempt before going on leave to try those classic links Westward Ho!- This win Hoylake, St. Andrews, Sandwich, etc.
will enable him on his return from leave to compete for the final possession of Commodore Boyes' handsome Cup, and in the meantime the members of the Golf Club wish him a pleasant holiday, with no bankers to trap a good drip, and no stymies to stop a good putt...
Captain Eccles, R.B., was agaiu runner up, but consoles himself by annexing the sweep- stakes, for which Captain Ramsey had not entered. He has now competed on four ou- casions for Club prizes and has been either first or second on every occasion :-

CHINESE LOANS.
The new Imperial Board at Peking has been charged with an examination iuto all the loans recently negotiated on the part of the provincial officers, as well as taking cognisance of all to be issued in the future. Under it the authority intended to be granted to Sir Robert Hart has been rescinde, and the new office will take Con- chargo so far of all Imperial revenues. siderable delay took place in the organization of the Board in connection with the question of loans abroad, and the project was sincerely dis- cussed of sending two Imperial Commissioners to Europe to enquire into the question of public loans and to make arrangements. This would- doubtless have been profitable for the Commis- sioners, but was not likely to prove of any utility in China. It is likely that the loan will be ne gotiated on the spot, as the Government is understood to have received favourable proposals from more than one quarter.—Mercury.
THE RISING NEAR SWATOW.
A private letter from the city of Haiyang, thirty miles inland from Swatow, to a native hong at Shanghai confirms the news of the re- ported ontbreak of the people at a place three The writer of the days' journey from Swatow. above letter declares that he himself saw that several thousand of the insurgents were very well armed with magazine r fles and sword bayonets. Furthermore, that good discipline was kept and everything seemed to show that the organisation was led by military officers It who had studied foreign military tactics. also appeared to the correspondent that there was a large number of returned emigrants from the United States, Australia, and Malaysian is- lands amongst the insurgents, and that the wealth and knowledge brought back by the former compelled the respect and obedience of natives in all important matters. The Hakka element of the insurrection is only one-fifth of the whole, the rest being composed of natives of the prefectures of Ch'aochowfu (Swatow), Lien- chow, and the sub-prefecture of Chiayingchow. It seems that there has been a short rice supply in the above-named prefectures and this caused large numbers of natives to flock to the insur- gent banners. But the leaders of the movement are well-off and intelligent men, so it is feared that it will require all the force of the 'I'wo Kwangs to crush this insurrection.-N. C. Daily News.
CANTON NOTES.
FROM THE
“CHUNG NGOI SAN PO.” In the fight between the two clans of Li and Yung in the village of Ho-Tong, in San-oi district, several soldiers and a corporal, who were sent by the Canton officiers to stop the fight, were, as already roported, shot dead by the natives. A few days ago General Ching Shiu-chung sent 500 soldiers and several armed steam launches to the place as reinforcements. The fight has now stopped and the people of the two clans are quiet.
On the 25th May the Magistrate of the dia- trict of Nam-hoi sent some soldiers to capture the runaway General Wang Tsz-lum in a house in Yuen chooug Street. The general escaped to Canton after the surrender of Port Arthur to the Some time ago an Imperial decree Japanese.
After he was arrested was issued for his arrest. he was brought up for trial and he was asked why he did not go back to his native place. In reply he said he came here with the intention to pay his respects to a high officer in Canton and ask him for protection, but the officer bad already retired from office, and he would leave Canton for his native village in a day or two. On the 29th May he was again brought to the military yamen for trial and was given a pen to write down bis evidence. The Canton officers still accord him considerate treatment. When he was ordered for trial, he came in a chair and was followed by a servant. He is about 30 years of age and be will probably be sent to Peking for final trial.
Viceroy Tan Chung-lun finds that the fantan gambling bouses multiply, which is a great nuisance to trade. He has made up his mind to withdraw the licence of these gambling houses aud has drafted a notice which will be issued on or about the 1st June for closing them
Heavy rain fell in the districts of Nam-hoi, Pun-u, Sam-aui, Fa-un, San-oi, and Hawk-shan
