question partly of fact on which offer no opinion upon the present occasion, and I only mention the matter at all, because I wish it to be understood that the construction of the will is not affected by the allega- tion, even if it should turn out to be correct, that the testator gave more than belonged to him. What would pass by the will would be such property as the testator had power to bequeath, and that is the property which must be divided in the manner I have indicated. In all the circumstances I allow the costs of both sides to come out of the estate, to be taxed as between solicitor and client.

THE HONGKONG RACES,
The following were some of the times at the racecourse on Tuesday morning: Mince Pie, -mile;—364, 1.10. Talbot, -mile, last qr., :-30. Arranapogue, and Fun, 1-mile-33), 1.08),

The Eighth Club Race took place on the 6th and 7th instant over No. 28 Course. The starting line was as usual Police Pier, thence to a markboat off Chung Hue (starboard), then to North Fairway Buoy, back again to Chung Hue, and home. On Saturday the championship yachts started at 1.30 p.m. Only two yach ta orossed the line when the gun fired, viz. the Dione, steered by His Excellency the Acting Governor, and the Elspeth. The Aileen came up from her moorings and crossed the line between 3 and 4 minutes later. The wind was blowing strong | from the S.E., and as the yachts neared the markboat it increazed in force to half a gale, aud the strong ebb from the Kep Ling Mun running down against it produced a nasty choppy sea.
The Dione reached the markboat about 41.49, 2.217. lengths ahead of Elspeth, and the Aileen came up 2 minutes later. Dione and Elapeth had to gybe round the mark, and whilst round- into collision, the Elspeth knocking a hole in Dione's starboard bilge, through which helm was promptly put up and she ran under the water poured. Dione's the sheltered side of Chung Hne, and she filled with water as she touched the beach. Beating up to the N. Fairway Buoy the great weight and power of the Aileen told in the beavy cross sea, and she gradually clawed to windward of the Elspeth, and increasing her lead in the second round won easily.
The times of the finish were as follows:-

This game on the 5th in the second round of the Hockey Cup (both teams having drawn byes in the first round) ended in a win for the Albion by 1-0. Play was advertised to start at 4.5, but it was after 4.35 when a commence- ment was really made, and then the Clubing they came captain put in substitute at half-back, Knyvett not having turned up. He arrived a few minutes after the start, unfortunately too late. His place was occupied by Dr. Horley, of the Waterwitch, which ship thas supplied five members of the Club team. The game was less than 5 minutes old when a hot shot by Dowding went into the Albion's geal, but it had broken through the side- net end, so of course did not score. Play inclined in favour of the civilians all though the first half, but their forwards were ineffective in front of goal and missed their chances. Wodehouse had a fine chance once, but stumbled and shot wide. Half-time arrived with the score nil all. Soon after the restart the Albions broke away and scored what proved the only goal of the match, with a rather soft shot. The Club, as in the previous half, did most of the pressing, but could not put on the finishing touch, and so suffered defeat by the margin of a. goal. Hooper played as good a forward game as any- one on the field, and Murphy and Woodman Ware best in defence for the Club. The Albion forwards wère smart and fast, but the balance of play was certainly in the Club's favour.boats after ten minutes interval,
93RD BURMAS v. 110TH MAHKATTAS. A hockey match in the second round of the Cup competition was played off on the 10th between the 110th Mahrattas and the 93rd Bu mas ('st team). A large crowd gathered to watch the match, and were rewarded by as fine an exhibition of hockey as has been seer in this Colony. The 93rd Burmas were somewhat fancied, but it was recognised that Lieut. Heath, the Mahrattas' centre forward, might turn the game in his side's favour. This was precisely what happened. The Burmas started off well and scored a goal in the first ten minutes. They continued to have the better of the game in the first half, but could not add to their score, Soon after the restart the Mahrattas got two corners in quick succession, and after the second Heath shot a fine goal This stirred the Burmas up and their score went ahead again with a well-shot goal. The Mahrattas, how- ever, were not to be denied, and Heath added a second goal, and not long after a third. The Burmas played up desperately and, taking advantage of the fact that Heath retired from the forward line for a few minutes to back, went up the field, when Carleton scored for them, making the game 3 all. The Mahrattas came on again and put through a fourth goal. Time was now short, and the Burmas, do what they could, were unable to draw level. On the contrary the Mahrattas returned to the attack and Heath scored his fourth goal, making the score 5-3. Soon after the game ended. No better contest could be desired. Heath's play was wonderfully good, and distinctly won the match for his sido.
A protest has been lodged agai st the Elspeth.
On Sunday light airs and calms prevailed-a very different sailing day to the Saturday.)
At gunfire at 1 pm the five one-design yachts crossed the line, and Erica taking the lead kept it to the end. The wind fell almost entirely at the finish,` and Bonito drifted the wrong side of the mark-bost and was unable to finish.
The handicap yachts followed the one-design
The Supreme Court at Manila has rendered its finding in the case of MoCulloch versus R. Aenlle, giving judgment for the defendant. The case is one growing out of the sale of the old Maria Cristina cigar-factory with a quantity of tobacco. The plaintiff claimed that some of the tobacco included in the contract damaged and that it was thereby depreciated in value to the amount of $24,109.29. The lower court gave judgment for the plain- tiff in this amount, but the finding was overruled in the Supreme Court.
The Alannah soon established a long lead and came in an easy winner. Doreen had a good race with the Gloria, eventually beating her, but disqualified herself by fouling the North Fairway buoy. The re t did not finish. The times at the finish wre:--
