A practice game was played on the Club ground, on the 14th inst., between teams captained by J. Hooper (colours) and Lieut. Hunt, H.M.S. Blenheim (whites).. Both teams played three men short, and it is dishearten ing to those interested to find that men will not turn up for practice games, but ouly for the matches, thus missing the opportunity of learn- ing to combine, which is such a feature of the Service teams. From the beginning it was seen that the Whites were the stronger combination, and though the Colours strove hard to avert defeat, they were beaten, after a fast game, by 7 goals to 3. All the Naval men played well, CoLspicuous & mong them being Carter of the Tamar, and Scott, Smyth, and Pringle of the Blenheim Of the Club men, Roberts, Wodehouse, Hooper, and Chater all showed good form, Hooper having bad luck in not scoring at least two more goals fr his side. It seems probable that the Club will have a fairly strong eleven this year, as there is a lot of new blood with a reputation behind it, but if they want to play well together, they must turn up for the practice games.
HOCKEY CLUB v. I.M.8. BLENIIFIM." Played on the club ground on the 16th inst. and resulted in a win for the Blenheim by 9 goals to 1. The game was not so one- sided as the score would indicate, nor was the club goal-keeper disgraced, as the shooting of the naval men, who have the reputation, and deservedly so, of being the best hockey team on the station, was very hard and straight. It would be difficult to pick out any player who outshone the others, as all played a sterling game, and their combination was simply per- fact. Perhaps Pringle, centre forward, was the best of a very good lot.

ROYAL HONGKONG YACHT CLUB.
THE SUNDAY SAILING QUES ́ION.
The nnual general meeting of the above Club was held on the 14th inst. in the Cricket Club Pavilion, Hou. F. H. May, C.M.G, the Commodore, presiding. Thero Was a gond

was determined
The CHAIRMAN, in his opening remarks, said he was glad to see so many present. He was pleased to tell them that the Club was in a very healthy state. Their finances showed a credit balanco, not very large. They were also fortunate in having for the first time in the history of the Club a Commodore-he meant a real pukka Commodore-(laughter and applause) --come to join the ranks and try to wrest the championship from them. (Hear, hear.) Commodore Robinson was the first who had ventured to the longth of th new | class of 24-footers, and fired by his example he (the Chairman) had followed his lead and with the same class of boat. So the Club had to try to win the Cup
got two boats by the best designor in England, Arthur Payne, which he thought was a great feather in its cap. (Applause.) Certainly there was no Yachting Club in the Far East that could boast of yachts of so recent a design as those two yachts would be. The Committee had had under consideration t'is desirability of having a permanent home. Their recent quarters had not a good anchorage and was without facilities for hauling. At prosout, as they knew, they were housed by A King at Wanchai, and he was liable to be turned out at any moment. There had been some difficulty in finding a site, but finally they had secured one close to Meyer's patroleum godowns at North Point. The Committee applied to the Government for a site there for the purpo.es of the club, and he was in a position to inform them that the re- commendation had gone home to the Secretary of St te. If they were fortunate enough to get it, they would have a very good sits ind.ed. It afforded good anchorage and there was enough room for a yard in which the boats could be pulled up and cleared and stowed away in the typhoon season. There was also a little space left for a Club-house, in which mem- bers after battling with the elements could dress and so go home clothed and in their right mind. He might tell them that was the nearest site they could get and they hoped it would be quite accessible in a very short time by the promised electric tramway. (Laughter.) Another matter which had been engaging the attention of the Committe) was the conditions under which members of the Club were entitled to fly the blus ensigu. Unfortunately the correspondence had not been very well kept under which the Club got their Royal warrant under which some boats had in the past flown the blue ensign. Thoy had now received a communication from the Admiralty at home, but the formalities were not yet concluded, and he need hardly tell them that it was very undesirable that anyone should fly the blue ensign until the warrant had been received. In fact there was a penalty of £500 attaching to such a thing, so he would ask them to take care. (Applause.) The accounts, the chairman stated in conclusion, showed a credit balance of $59 as against $68 at the beginning of the year, but there had een some abnormal expenditure which would not occur again.
The club forwards played well together, and Chater and Solflest at half worked hard. It was perhaps in the back division that the club was weakest, though Parker in goal defended well; a lot of the goals were scored from scrimmages in front of the posts, when clearing became very difficult. The club must not be discouraged by the large number of goals notched against them, when they remember the great reputation of their opponents. It was gratifying to see a fair sprinkling of spectators, included among them being Captaiu Stopford, of the Blenheim.
The teams were as follows:-
H.M.3. Blenheim-F. H. Bitchelor, goal; Lts. Hunt and Middleton, backs; Captain Luard, R.M.L.I., Lt. Toulmain, R.M.L.I., and Mid. Smyth, half-backs; Mids. Pringle, Burrows, Scott, Barrey, and A. P. Silver, forwards.
Club: Mr. Parker, R.N., goal; P. P. J. Wodehouse and Lt. Quennell, A.O.D., backs; C.P. Chater, J. P. Jo.dan, and Lt. Solfeet, R.N., half-backs; J. Hooper (capt), A. G. Roberts, Capt. Dyke, R.A., Lt. Badbam- Thornbill, R.A., and Mr. Carter, R.N., forwards. Referees:-Mid. Money, H.M.S. Blenheim and Mr. T. C. Gray,
The Vladivostok considers that the time has come to establish in Japan a Japanese paper under Russian direction to combat similar papers subsidised by foreigners, which apply themselves to representing the Russians to the Japanese as the latter's worst enemies, and to promoting by their calumnies defiance and hatred of Russia.

Mr. C. A. TOMES seconded, and the motion was agreed to.
Mr. M. W. SLADE mored that Messrs. H. P. Tooker and Campbell be appointed Deputy Measurers.
Mr. HASTINGS seconded, and the motion wa8 agreed to.
Mr. SLADE said the next matter for con- sideration was the proposed amendment in the rules, notice of which had been given. The Committee had come to the conclusion that the rule in force during the last few years requiring yachts to be remessured at the beginning of every season ontailed an undue amount of work upou the measurers. It was not done in Edgland or anywhere else so far as he was aware. Of course any owner who made an alteration in his boat would be bound to have his boat measured, under the penalty losing every

The following addition to the claus was drafted: "Every alteration ou the hull. sails or spars shall be reported to the Hou. Secr tary each season b for any race is sailed after such

Hon. Dr. CLARK seconded. Both motions were carried.
The CHAIRMAN said he had now to allude to a matter upon which he had addressed a letter to boat-owners. It that letter he had stated
in future, Club races be sailed on Saturdays, that at the meeting he intended to more that,
starting at 2 p.m. The reasons he gave were that with the more modern and fast yachts which now competed in Club races there was quite time to sail a course of at least 12 miles. starting at say 2.30 p.m., and therefore one of the principal reasons for which sailing on Sun- days was established-the time necessary to sail the course had ceased to exist; racing on Sunday cut up the day--the only one which a family man had to spend with his family-so that no plaus could be made for either fore or afte noon, and spoiled a whole day for what could be 83 well done on part of a day; racing on Sunday, with the unavoidable publicity which accompanied it, offended a great many, prevented some from racing who otherwise would race, showed a bad example, and could not be held to be creditable to the Club; by way of experiment, the Commodore's Cup races for three seasons, he thought, had been sailed on Saturday after-
noons, and he had not known a 0280 of ад owner having been unable to start be- cause it was a Saturday On this mater. the Chairman went on to say, he felt very strongly. There was no question that racing ou Sunday offended a good many people and kept same from racing who otherwise would race. They would not hold a Gymkhana on Sunday, or 8 race meeting or B rifle meeting, or any form of spot which en- tailed publicity in the way yacht racing did. It was all very well to go out shooting or golfing, for people did not notice that and it did not offend them. (Langhter.) But apart from the question of going to church or anything of that nature, personally he did not liko to do himself 鵠 thing which offended other people. He had set out the reasons therefore why he brought this resolu- tion forward, and he did not think that anything could be added. They would notice Hon. Dr. F. W.

Mr. H. E. POLLOCK seconded, eud the motion was ad pted,

The CHAIRMAN stated that the next business was the election of office-bearers. The Vice Commodoreship was vacant, and he had pleasure in submitting the name of Commodore “Robia- son for that post. (Applanse.)
Mr. J. HASTINGS proposed the appointment of the Committee as follows:-Mes-rs. H. W. Bird, G. B. Thornhill, R.A., P. H. Campbell, R. E., H. E. Pollock, K.C., and Hon. Dr. F. W. Clark.

him to be the same objection to Cup racos being raced for on Sundays. A man went in for a Cup race if he liked; in the case of Club races it was all or none. He moved the adoption of the resolution.
Mr. POLLOCK remarked that the only thing he would say was that he did not think racing should be started before 2.30 p.m., if the races wire to be run on Saturdays. If they were to start as early as 2 o'clock some people would be
