The Southern Cross arrived a! 6.45 p.m. A novelty at the Dundee Regatta was a race for four-oared fishing yawls rowed by fisher girls. The “ Pet Lambs,” wearing straw hats and striped bodices, who won the first prize at Broughty Ferry Pegatta, won the race easily. Only another boat competed. The rowing is said to have been admirable. The South Pacific Times, published at Callao, IiES an article on the horrors of Chinese izntnigraIdem to Peru, in which it says that out of 43,301 Chinamen who have been shipped from Macao during the last II years, only 38,642 arrived in Port*, the remainder having died on the passage. One instance is given where out of a cargo of 300, only 30 arrived. The vessels, it is said, are loaded with such a quantity of human freight as can be obtained without any regard for their carrying capacity, and the Times demands that the good name of Peru be no longer tarnished by the scandal on humanity committed in the emigrant traffic under her flag. 13
