Reservoirs on Hongkong and Kowloon are still over- Bowing, and a spokesman of the Water Authority sald the situation is "more or less the same as yesterday,"
Water in the Colony's biggest reservoir, Tai Lam Chung, is still a little over three feet below the top of the dum.
No further rain was recorded by the Royal Obser-

The Observatory forecast states there is a possibility of showery weather later this evening, but that for the rest of today it should remain fair. Typhoon Grace is now battering itself out on the Mainland Chinese coast, about 30 miles NE of Foochow, and is moving gradually NW at 14 knots.
