At present Denison's star is in the ascen- dant, as his boats have won the two first races, but May's boat is a good one judging by the way she sailed yesterday, and the R.E. boat will also be an awkward customer when she gets her sail stretched; at present it has several ugly ridges across it.

At the start the flood tide was very slack and the ebb was beginning to drain eastward along the Hongkong shore. Maid Marian was first on the line, orossing immediately after gunfire. All the rest were close and indeed the start was one of the prettiest we have seen, as the little fleet commenced to turn to wind- | ward. Maid Marian held a slight lead, but was being gradually overhauled by Phoebe and Sibyl and Meteor. Off North Point Maid Marian while still leading was seized with an insane desire to go for Kowloon Rock instead of Channel Rocks and bore away for that purpose and only discovered her mistake when she had been passed by Phoebe, Meteor, and Sibyl. Phoebe was going very strong and made an excellent tack in to the Hongkong shore, but overreached her mark a little. She rounded the Rocks first with Meteor second, Maid Marian third, and Sibyl fourth. Spinnakers were set to port and there was not much change in the positions till the starting line was reached, except that Maid Marian closed up with and passed Meteor. In the second turn to windward the breeze W&S somewhat fresher Land a strong weather-going tide was running. Maid Marian made a good tack
This match was played at the Happy Valley towards the Hongkong shore and almost caught on Saturday. Scores

May's boat. Some pretty cross tacking then ensued, and the Phoebe did her best to pin Maid Marian under her lee, but was not quite able to do so; and the Maid after squeezing out from Phoebe's lee assumed pride of place, which she never afterwards lost. The Rocks were rounded for the second time in the following order :----- Maid Marian, Phoebe, Sibyl, Meteor, Erica, Active, Princess, and Chanticleer.

HONGKONG FOOTBALL CLUB V. H.M.8. "CENTURION."
On Monday afternoon on the Happy Valley, after a magnificent struggle, the Hongkong Football Club defeated H.M.S. Centurion by two goals to nil. No score was made in the first half, but after changing ends the "Centos"" custodian rushed out of goal and before he could return a hot shot was sent towards the net. The ball was, Lowever, stopped by the handling of the Centurion's back. A goal was then scored from the penalty kick awarded for this infringement of the rules. The sailors tried hard to equalise, but their efforts were fruitless and before leaving the field another point was scored against them. It was a good game throughout, and was watched with great interest by a large number of spectators.

THE REBELLION IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE “DAILY PRESS. DEAR SIR, My attention has been caught by a communication appearing in one of your issues of October last signed "Alphia" relative to the rebellion now existing in the Philippines.
As a member of the British community re- Asident in Manila I-beg to protest against the unfounded and exaggerated statements set forth in the above mentioned letter.
Spinnakers were again set to port and the Phoebe with her large sail area commenced to run down on Maid Marian, and the latter had all she could do to shake her off. quick run home in a freshening breeze finished the match. Maid Marian got home, but only 32 seconds before Phoebe, and as she. had to allow her 16 seconds the Maid could only boast of a narrow margin of 16 seconds to the good, Sibyl was third, about a minute be- hind Phoebe.
We regret that we are unable to give the official times, as we have not been furnished with them.
The marks in the first class now are

COLTS v. R.E.
4
This match (Association) took place at Happy Valley on Friday afternoon, play commencing at 5 p.m. No goals were scored during the first half, although the ball was continually in the vicinity of the R.E. goal, the Colt custodian having nothing at all to do. On changing sides the R.E. bucked up and some good play took place. Just before time the Colts scored twice rapidly, thus winning by two goals to mil. Seth and Symington, right wing, played well together and Carvalho as right half back played in rare good form, Gonsalves as full was ex cellent: Yale, Brett, and Henderson-also did good service.

Were it not for the ill-feeling they create some of the " cases oited by your correspon dent would be most amusing from their very wildness to those who know this place.
I dare affirm that nine-tenths of the Eng lishmen here will bear me out when I say that it is as distasteful to us as it can be to the Spaniards to see stories set afloat that owe their origin only to the fertile imagination of some excited brain.
