CYCLING.

Opening: of the Seaaon. The opening of the cycling season was celebrated by the Ariel Bicycle Club yester day m superb weather. The postponement from last week of the opening run prevented several members from the Longbeach dis trict and elsewhere being present, but there was a good attendance of riders—between twenty and thirty—and a very pleasant afternoon was enjoyed both by the public and those taking part. A feature of the procession (and perhaps the most attractive) was the inclusion of several lady cyclists m the ranks, suitably attired m wheeling costume. The ladies rode well, looked charming, and are to be con gratulated on having been the first to take part m a cycling procession m this town. About three o'clock a start was made from the Post office. The captain, Mr David Zander, led the procession, next came the ladies, and behind them the rank and file. The route chosen took the cyclists through East street, Burnett street, Moore street, Havelock street, and by Winter street, to the Southern gate of the "Domain. There they dismounted, and a photograph of the group was taken by Mr Mitchell. Then the captain formally declared the season open, remarking that the enthusiasm of the open ing augured extremely well for the success of the coming season. Three cheers were given for the Club, and a similar compliment .having bepntendered to the ladies, the sports ground was entered. This portion of tbe Domain presented a very busy spectacle, and there was an unusually large number of spectators assembled to witness the sport provided by the Cycling Club, and by the Junior Cricket Club, who were also celebrating their opening. The following events were decided during the afternoon:— Half mile bicycle handicap.—E. 6. Craig head 7Syds, 1; T. Clarkson scr., 2; A. Anderson 55yds, 3. James Wilson 55yds, E. J.

Craighead 150 yds, 1 ; E. J. Craighead 150 yds, 2; James Wilson 150 yds, 3. T. Clarkson scr,, H. Thompson and E. Willis 250 yds, also started.

Mrs John Orr, with a bevy of fair assis tants, utilised the shed adjoining the pavilion, with the result that refreshments were at the disposal of both cricketers and cyclists. During the afternoon the cricketers pre sented Mr 3 Orr with a handsome bouquet

THE COREAN WAR

(Received October 3, 7.30 p.m.) Shanghai, October 2 Official accounts of the battle at Ping Yang declare that only twelve thousand Chinamen were present, of whom nine thousand escaped. This agrees with the later Japanese accounts, and explains the small number of actual prisoners. The Chinese officials at Pekin fear the Japanese will capture the capital owing to a discontent with the present dynasty, and the unreliability of soldiers. Five thousand Japanese soldiers have arrived at Posset Bay, close to the Russian frontier. Shanghai, October 3. The Chinese m retreating from Ping Yang murdered and pillaged along their line of march, leaving a scene of desolation behind them. The Japanese fleet was sighted on Friday at a point on the coast two hundred miles from Pekin. The troops are being mobilised to prevent their landing, The Emperor, fearing that the Japa nese will be successful, is making ar rangements to transfer the Court to Nankin. On September 28, the Japanese fleet was ten miles off Shankaikwan. A war levy is being made on Chinese merchants.

LABOR.

Sydney, October 3 Several slight collisions occurred at the Greta mine between Unionists and non-XJnionists. The owners offered Unionists the district rate of wages, but as the latter were not allowed tc pick mates or select places m the mine, they refused to work. The master printers have determined to adhere to £2 12s as the rate of wages. At a meeting of members of the Typographical Association to-night it was resolved to accept nothing less than £2 16s as the minimum wage. Some of the men will strike to-morrow, and others as their ! financial week terminates. The northern miners request the masters to agree to a conference, and ask for an increase m the hewing rates. One leading proprietor ex presses the opinion that as there is no chance of the price of coal being raised, it is unlikely that the masters will concede the increase m hewing rates, and if the men force on a crisis, the masters will either close the pits down or work them with non-unionists. Melbourne, October 3 A conference of municipal delegates agreed to adopt a iniuimuid rate of wages, ranging from five shillings and sixpence to twelve shillings per day, according to the nature of the employ ment.
