VICTORIA RECREATION CLUB SPORTS.
The annual aquatic sports in connection' with the Victoria Recreation Club were commenced on Friday at the bath house, and will be con- cluded this afternoon. Unfortunately the wea- ther completely spoilt the thorough enjoyment of the spectators, but the sports could not be very well postponed as the tide never waits for anybody, and an adjournment would have meant a fortnight's delay. Special preparations were as usual made for the accommodation of visitors, but there were very few people there. His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Robinson, and Hon. H. E. Wodehouse were among those who braved the elements. Rain fenonent rents at timek, and it is to be hoped better weather will favour this afternoon's sports. Details

COND DAY.
On Saturday the programme of sports orga- nised by the Victoria Recreation Club was con- cluded. The weather was delightfully wet from the point of view of everybody who wants an assured water supply for the winter, but it was certainly not an ideal day for sports. Rain fell during the whole of the afternoon, and the com- petitors must have keenly felt the cold air and the clammy state of the atmosphere. There was a small attendance of spectators, but it must be said that the sport provided was first class, the chief event, of course, being the 1,000 yards handicap race, which was won by Carvalho, the scratch man. After the conclusion of the sports Hon. H. E. Wodehouse, the Chair- man of the Club, distributed the prizes, in the ab- sence of his Excellency the Governor, who waS unable to be present. The Chairman congratulated the members upon the success of the sports from a sporting standpoint, and regretted that
[October 2, 1895.

R. Lapsley (scratch)
A. A. Alves (5 seconds)

HONGKONG GOLF CLUR.
The compétition for the October Captain's Cup took place from Saturday to Monday, September 28th to 30th, and resulted in a win for Captain W. V. Eccles, R.B. The scores were indifferent owing to the fact that several players elected to compete on Saturday in the pouring rain, Dr. Lowson won the Sweepstakes with a splendid score of 80. It is good when one sees a scratch player heading the list.

Captain Vicomte de Labry, French military attaché in Tokyo, who has been visiting Vladivos- took and Korea in a Russian man-of-war, re- turned to Nagasaki a few days ago. Although he was expected to return to Tokyo, says a Japa- nese contemporary, he is still remaining at Nagasaki, awaiting the arrival of the Russian Minister, with whom he intends to revisit Vladivostock.
