 One of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking corporstion's managers said Prom my personal experience I believe the Chinese bankers and merchants are the most trustworthy folk in the world Our bank in Shanghai for instance, has done a businegs with the Chinese in the past+wenty- five years amounting prob ably to more than 400, ,OO0OOO taels (s32O,- O00,000), and we have not met a Chinese tefaulter yet"

 When it comes to sports fair play is again conspicuous by its absence On Sumida Gdwa. which flows through Toklo. there is an annual regatta with the coming Of the cherry blossoms. For miles the north bank of the river is nearly hidden under rich pink clouds of "sakura no hama" There is not in the world @ more beautiful sight. but the wrath of the defeated crews does not molllIy thereby.
 They accuse their successful rivals of al baseness, calling them swine and reptiles. The coaches of winning crews are seldom in evidence on such occa- siOns-at least, not in the vicinity of tn g crews they helped to defeat Mir. Sala- he,e of Yokohama. who had coached
 the crew of the business college one y,ar, was in danger of his life because
 his crew had learned something from him and had gone ahead of the other oarsmen.
 The Rev. Dr. Eby's experience at the KCto Gnu Gakko is another illustration of the Japan1se attitude in sport. The learned doctor, who was then the head Of a large mission school. had developed
 creGitable base ball and cricket teams among his pupils He went up from
 Tsuiiji one afternoon tO the college grounds to see and encourage his bows

 students considered this highly i'm
 proper. as it might lead to their defeat.
 Therefore, they laid for the reverend gentleman. and when h. appeared on a path that led to a break in the low bamboo fence along the south side of the college grounds they stab6ej him.
 The college authorities did not movo in the matte,, nor did the doctor com plain: but the foreigners. both in and

 that as long as the doctor had got the worst of it he should rest content. The students said he had no grounds for complaint. as. instead of going around
 to the college gate Ca distance of half mile). he ha. en guilty of sull a
 breach of etiquette as to climb the fence. Irasmuch as the fence at that fe!nt WIS broken and .. well beaten
 ra,h in daily use by ths students ran th-ourh this break, ne foreign popu- latiOn would not be uersuadcd that the breach of etiquette demanded blood. For years tine president of one of the clubs in Tokio prohibited playing games for money in the club rooms. He ha enforced the rule with the utmost strictness and to the entire sa tisfaotion of tho foreign members. The purpose
 of the club was 70 bring the natives and foreigners into closer relations Its president must be of the imperial fam fly. All the nohles of the empire be- long. all the diplomatic corps and well nigh all foreign residents of any clainI ;a soc.al OnsideIatiOn.
 In tn early days before foreigners 1 kneW the gentle native rature. the great American game was tolerated in the club rooms. Not for long. however for it was discovered that while ths JaIanese erjoyes winning immensely they took it badly when they lost and were wonderfully slow on settling days They were hard losers, though thu checrfullest sort of winners.
