and was bold-whether rightly or wrongly in net garnane to the point in question. It is a fact too that hordes of Chinese entered on military service of their own free will to drive out the invader as well as all those who were identified Lowever remotely with the common enemy; whether the means adopted the course pursued to attain that and were in harmony or at variance with established rules of civilised warfare is likewise not material to the issue. The distinctive mark of a volunteer in the attribale of free-will in respect of survice. The Boxers bad this element of free-will to notable extent and were accordingly termed rot inaptly volunteers. There was no chance of gulling the public; the little children in the streets understood that the Boxers wrought pell-mall haroo lika atter savages, Sir Robert Hart simply laid stress on the feature of spontaneity that struck his eye as a dominant characteristic of the movement. Why be driven by a restless and crooked spirit to rake in the dirt of every kind of expedient? Il it not quite clear how Sir Robert Hart conld plange right through the mice by throwing birasoli heart and soul into the cause for the abolition of extra-territoriality. In keeping with.Anti-Humbug's" train of assumptions would he not be more likely to fod hitaseif help lessly soused in the mire up to his eyes? Or does he mear to imply that the man whom he would clothe in the raiment of an arch-criminal was bereft of reason? Nearly a quarter of a cat tury age the writer hud occasion to refer in Wharton's Confict of Laws in which he come across and glanced at a long extract from a paper contributed years previously by Sir Robert Hart in his role of strenuous advocate for the abolition of extra-territoriality. Seeing the man bad entered the quagmire and argued forextra-territoriality the best part of half a century ago, does "Anti-Humbay" mean to imply that if there is any sequence in pheno mens and any law of causation, the order in bis imagination is not that of cause and effect Is he proceeding on a tacit assainption that the same order must obtain among objects which obtain among his ifléng of them, that if one thing makes us think of another us preceding or following it that other must precede in actual fact

THE HONGKONG A.D.C.
AT CANTON.
Saturday, the 28th February, was a red letter day in the anuals of the Clab Theatre at Shanean; for years and years the Canton A.D.C. have been trying to get the Hongkong A.D.C. to repeat here some Hongkong success, but until sor insuperable difficulties have always prevented it. Even this time one of the original ciste was unable to come, and but for the cleverness and kindness of the young and charming lady who made her stage début on this occasion as Ethel Carlton, Shameen would not have had the treat of seeing His Excellency the Governor admirably, played by the Hongkong The audience on Saturday night testified their thorough appreciation of the play
A.D.C.
and the admirable manner in which it was done by the heartiest applause and laughter through- ont, and at the finish by a tornado of clapping. When the curtain had been lowered for the last time, after being repeatedly raised to quell the storm, the andienes burst into three hearty cheers aud "tiger."

made and the whole part played thoroughly well. Mrs, Wentworth Bolingbroke (Miss Bird), equally successful, admirably made up sad, as the smart arsiety lady, exaggeratedly im pressed the fact of her sievatel atmosphere, apparently quite unconscious that the effort to impress was obvious. It was the thing itself to the life; a very clover bit of study and portrayal giving a tono to the whole play. As for Miss Ethel Carlton (Miss Andrew)" to mee ber-was-to-love-her" from Hin Excellency I downwards. She was frankly charming and played her part with a pretty archaesa und natural effect quite delightful; it was difficult to believe that this was a first appearance on any stage warmed by applause, she spoke her lines with full appreciation of each point and scored laugh after laugh from the audience. The match-making scene with Captain Chas. Carew was a most charming bit of acting, and the fact that Miss Andrew took up the part only five days before play. ing adds to the merit of her performance, In the hands of that veteran sed reliable actor, Mr. Grace, His Excellency was sure to be well treated, and so it proved. A solid, reliable (except where the heart was concerned) Governor, a capital charactor and capitally played. The Colonial Eecretary, Mr. Carlton, the father of Ethel (he must have had a charm. ing wife) was very well done by Mr. Balloch (another old stager) the precise, head-of-the- department, highly-official insaner were all there, and the part was played for all it was worth, which is a good deal. Mr. Bird as the Privato Secretary, and Capt.. MeGeorgs as the A.D.C., were both No. 1 and deserved and got high praise for rendor ing their respective parts; they played up to each other in the most naturai manner, and they neither of them had a weak spot so far as their playing was concerned, though their cardine organs suffered strains almost to breaking point. Their love-making sooner oach in his very cleverly (and the other's) way wore rendered.
The play was set in a very becoming frame, the scene being brought from Hongkong and b. ing Low the property of the Club Theatro,
The whole performance was a distinot success, and the residents of Shameon are much indebted to the Hongkong A.D.C. and in particular to those members and the ladies who took the trouble to come and give them each an enjoy able performance. I Learly forgot the most im portant poiut of all-the frocks and the frills wore lovely-Contributed.
FOOTBALL.
SHIELD TIE-H.M.BARGONAUT" v. "B"
CO.. SHERWOOD FORESTERS.
This match was played at Happy Valley yesterday afternoon before a big turn-out of spectators, mostly Servicers. The Foresters opened the game and the Argonauts the searing, getting their first goal rather easily five minutes from the start. The sailors' second goal was a very soft one, the hall, a slow one, dropping into the corner of the net from a scrimmage in the Forestera' territory jast when nobody expected it. The soldiers, des- pite the score against them, were playing a good game, and, when one came to analyse play, it was difficult to understand, how they were so far behind. Luck would be the easiest way of explaining the mystery, but even that tuile as a satisfactory solation, for there was more of ready resource then lack in the way the auisido right took up a straying shot at the Foresters' goal and notched the third point for the milore. The fourth goal- it had now apparently become a mere matter of recording guals was beautifully kicked by the inside man on the right from a pass across the wing. The Foresters still continued to peg manfully away.
POLICE COURT.
Tuesday, 3rd March,
BEFORE MR. J. H. Kemp (ACTING POLICE MAGISTRATE),
THEFT BY A CHIPMASTER,
Harry Ansoll brown, describing himself as a mister marinor out of employment, and residing at the Sailors' Home, was charged with stealing a silver watch and ohsin and a silver matchbox, of the tatat value of $15, from Durbar Bungalow, Kowloon, the quarters of officers of the 33rd Bacmah Infantry. The theft, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty, was set down as having been committed on the 2nd lust.
Lieut. Ricketts, the complainant, went into the witress-box and identified his property, which he said he had left lying on the mantel- piece in his room.
Lient. Morgan, who resides with the com- plainant, stated that on the 2nd iust., between 12 noon and 2 p.m., the defeudant came into his room somewhat obtrusively," and on being asked his business replied that he was stony broke." His breath smelt of liquor.
Defendant-Are you quite sure I am the
man?
Witness-Yes, quite sure. Defendant-How was I dressed ? Witness-In & blue serga suit and straw hat. Defondant ratected that he never wore a s'raw hat, for the simple reason that he had
DOES.
A Chinese pawnbroker having 1lentified the caused as the European who pledged with bin for 38 the watch produced in Court, the defou- dant was asked if he had anything to say. He replied that he was not in Kowloon on the day the theft was alleged to have been committed, Since arriving in the Colony he had been in Kowloon bat once, sud that was on the 31st alt. His Worship found the charge proved, and passed sentenes of two months' hard labour.
Brown, who is a tall roan of smart bearing, appeared in Court without a bat, He was recently accused of stealing an uister from the Hongkong Club, but got the benefit of the doubt and was discharged,
FIGHT BETWEEN COOLIES.
Whilst a geog of Sanitary Board coolies were watering the roadway in Prays East on Monday afternoon, they got into a dispute with a ricksha coolio who objected to having his person included in the operation. Words gave place to blows, sad the situation was intensified by the action of a number of riekaba coolies living in a lodging house opposite the scene of the serimmage. These, of course, aided with their comrade in the street, and whilst a few ran down to assist him against the Sanitary Board coolies who were plying bamboo poles to grest advantage, the others leant over the balcony and endeavoured to even up matters by a judi- cions bumbardment with soet-jars, flower-pots, dishes, sto. The police arrived, and after one of their number, P.C. Last, had been blackened with the contents of a soot-jar and just missed being struck with the receptacle itself, order was restored and ten of the delinquents marched to the lock-up,
They were charged with disorderly behaviour, and got off with a small penalty,
