Taken five years to make, and cost £100. Hondini took up the challenge, and per- formed his task yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a large audience, at the Hip. podrome. The members of the voluntary Committee were so numerous that they al. most filled the arena, and had to be invited to stand back, or it would have been im possible to see Houdini. The handcutls were closely examined. They consisted of two loops on a bar, in which were the locks. They were of steel. No fewer than thirty. one wards formed the locks, which wore
nade up of locks within locks, and re- sembled in their construction those of a safe more than anything else.
Some force was necessary to fasten them on Houdini's wrists. He retired to his little cabinet, and his effort to release himself lasted an hour and five minutes. He came out once for a rest because his knees had become cramped, and again to get his coat off. The chal- lenger, the representative of a newspaper, refused to unlock the handcuffs for this purpose, and had strong comments passed upon him by the gallery, who were all in faveur of the performer. Finally, Houdini got the frock-coat he was wearing over his head, and then cut it away with a pocket- knife with his fottered hands. Not long afterwards he emerged from the cabinet with his hands free and the handcuff's unlocked and undamaged. The audience gave him cheer after cheer, and the mem- bers of the Committee of Inspection carried him shoulder high round the ring. Houdini acknowledged it was the hardest task ho His success was had ever been set. thoroughly, popular, and the scene which ensued was possibly one of the most remarkable ever seen in an English place of .entertainment.

FIRE IN BONHAM STRAND,
Two shops destroyed.-The want of water.
Another outbreak of fire occurred early on Sunday morning in Bonhamn Strand West, which extended through to Wing Lok Street before being extinguished. This was de, beyond doubt, to the delay experienead in getting water from the

The delay is a usual one, but is none the less regrettable. Times out of noaber fires, which could easily live been extinguished had water been forthcoming with the arrival of the Fire Brigade, have been allowed to gather way and demolish the building in which they started, besides milicting serious dainage on the adjoining, houses, simply because no water is obtain- able. The fire which broke out on Sunday morning started apparently in the rear of No. Bonhan Strand and quickly spread to No. 165 Wing Lok Street. When the Brigade arrived, shortly after one o'clock, the fire was burning briskly, and the engines were set to work to pump wator from the Praya. A fairly good flow of water was thus secured, but not enough to cope with the fire It was a considerable time before the trains were sufficiently filled to allow of a strong stream being play. When it did ed on the blazing furnace arrive there was no chance of saving the buildings. Al hat could be done was
