THE AMOY CONSULATE.
ONE OF THE FEW BUILDINGS IN CHINA
OWNED BY THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT

Recent developments in the Chinese situation
have made the old city Of Annoy a centre Of in
terest. The attempts OF native rioters 10
destroy foreign property there necessitated the
landing of marines TO preserve order.
Annoy IS one of the oldest seaports of China. 1t
was first opened 70 foreign trade in the sixteenth
century. AS early 15lt the Portuguese landed
from trading vessels and were allowed to set Up
shops. The city AT one time became thickly popu-
lated with Portuguese traders, but owing to their
harsh treatment of the natives the Chinese Gov
ernment drove them out OF the empire AS a re-
suit Of this incident the port closed to all
foreigners during the latter part OF the sixteenth
century. and not reopened until about l72o.
when British sailors made their way into the port
Thus Annoy has been chief commercial city OF
China since long before the Treaty of Tien-Tsn.
It's chief exports tea. lily bulbs grass cloth.
sugar, hemp manufactured Chinese shoes. UNI
breas cured fish. ground nuts. opium. oil liquor,
paper FIRE crackers and Chinese articles of food.
From this town the famous Annoy Ooloug tea de-
rives its name. Over s. 10000 worth of tea alone
Is exported from Annoy America annually. It
has great advantage over other Chinese sea ports
because Of the depth Of the Pei-Chf River and its
excellent harbor facilities.
Annoy is situated in what IS termed South Cen
trai China. about TWO hundred and forty miles
north Of Hong Kong. The climate is healthy and

KAhEHAMEHA RACES
A Brilliant Day Oh the O,d
Race Tra'k,
FOUR THoUs PEOPLE APP
PLAUD THE WINNERS.

Our space allows us only to men,
ton the winners in the races which
took place on the 9th aud 18th inst.
We might say great deal and en-
ter some pertinent criticism, but we
feel simply like .aying that every
thing was lovely,
Then OF course we cannot stop
and we beg to state that there have
been no public races better conduct
ed since 1882, than those OF yes.er-
day. The officers OF the Jockey
Club are to be congratulated upon
their success. Most OF them we're
green" but every one was a gentle
man and up to his task.
Thanks are due to the officers OF
the club. Thanks, not alone from
the press but from every citizen
who planked down an admission fee.
We are bound TO kick OF course and
we know that the management will
try to improve the Jockey Club
stand, and remove the band which
tried to blow the ear off those who
listened to Captain Trips de-
csions.
We think the judges are o. X.
but we fail to see why the merchant
marine should always be drawn up
on when question OF horse racing
is concerned. When ship is
grounded on the reef here no horse
men are selected to decide the dam
ages or the insurance. 1t is gener-
ally left to men familiar with the
sailing Of vessels. Why different
course should be adopted in. horse
races is puzzle.
Everything was lovely, however,
and the audience even accepted the
decision in the Weller race without
visible murmur. That matter has
to be settled elsew here, however, or
something will drop as far as our
local club is concerned.
Take that baud away The grand
stand is elegant; the Jockey Club
room will be made alright, aud the
press has the finest booth on the
track; but do stop Berger's noise
under the roof OF the grand stand
We enjoyed the band, when not on
the stand; we enjoyed the beer when
the Marshal stopped the sale OF it;
we relished Paul Isenburg's cham
payne when he failed to get bot
tie in which to drink his toast, and
we did enjoy the races, the crowd
attending them and the foresight OF
the directing officers.
There was no delay between races.
There was only one dispute, and al
round good will reigned supreme
tho best horse won (the one we bet
on) and fair play was the motto OF
officers and audience.
We make a brief mention OF the
winners and take special pleasure in
congratulating McAuliffe on the
excellent style in which he handled
our old friend Antidote on Saturday
as we'll as on Monday. We are also
pleased to see that the Rosita Chal-
lenge Cup has disappeared at last
the time OF Angie A. l:45a being
beaten by Vioris in l:45. 1t was in
1886 when Agnew's Angie A. beat
the time of Colonel Spaulding's
Ros.ta, and every year an attempt
has been made in vain to break the
record, until yesterday Prince
David's horse did the trick and tool
the cup home.
These are the winners;
