HONGKONG JOTTINGS.
Perhaps the social season in Hongkong may be considered to begin this month, and certainly we could not wish for better and more appro. priate weather than wo are now enjoying. The two principal society events of November will of course be the Government House Ball on the instant, and the S. Andrew's Ball on the 30th. B.E. the Governor and Lady Blako give their -Ball in honour of His Majesty the King's Birthday, and the scene is sure to be a very brilliant one. As Sir Henry and Lady Blake leave Hongkong on the 21st instant, the occasion will certainly bo the last of its kind, and it will be therefore the formal social farewell to the Colony of our departing Governor and bis wife, after are years' stay in our midst.
The declaration of a public holiday on the 4th instant, in honour of His Majesty King Edward's birthday, bas been gazatted, and there is to be a military celebration of the evaut as well as the Ball at Goverment Doaso. Last year (when, the day obserrol was the 10th November, the Pth doing a Sunday) there was a grand parado of troops in the Happy Valley and an inspection of them by Sir Houry Blake, This year there will be a military feu- le-juts in the Happy Valley in addition, I pre. same, to the review. Heugkong was also gratified last year by the bestowal of a knight hood on Sir W. Meigh Goodman, our respected Chief Justive. Are we to be noticed this year, I worder, in as pleasant way
It is not an uncommon thing on the Island, as well as in Kowloon, to see coolies wandering about with chits to deliver, unable to ascertain for themselves whether they are in the right locality of their destination or not, and it must have occurred to others, as it does to myself that if the streets were labelled with the names in Chincie as well as in Roman characters it would be a distinct public advantage. In the old trosty ports of Japan this system of double acmenclature for the streets is adopted, and even on the namo-plates of private Europeos residences there you almost invariably see the name given both in Roman and Japanese characters. If we in Hongsong are unable to set a good example, we should not be do ve following one, and I venture to respectfully commend to the Public Works Department ♦ this muggestion as to strest nomenclators la. Hougkong and Kowloon, while the other suggestion must bö left to commend itself to the ansideration of individual residents.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND ÜHEX
Tho usual, crop of good stories has sprung from Volunteer Camp life on Stonecutters". One of the best perhaps is that related about a certain corporal who, while on patrol duty one. night, saw approaching a figure where no figure should be. He challenged the intruder, but got no reply. Again he asked who went there, but the day remained silent. At last, as the ilg. ure would not respond and appared to be about to boni a hasty retreat, the Corporal çalled out the guard and they advanced with fixed bayouts on the hapless wrotch, Examination of clas quarters showed that the spy was, of all things in the world, nothing but goat. Billy did not stand to receive the attack; he showed the guard a clean pair of heels, and, though they ollowed up the retreat in gallant style, the goat is reported to be still at large.
It has frequently been observed, but not frequently enough, that many of the abuess noticeable in tongkong could be lessound if people would only take the trouble to complain at the time. I saw a fresh instance of this on Friday. A rickaua was hurrying along on the wrong side of the road in Queen's Road and ran over a dog. The animal was not much hart, and the owner, seeing this, would not take the ricksha coolin's number, saying: “Oh. I can't bother to go up to to Pulco Court!" I is this kind of spirit which perpetuates the constant infringement of the law by the caulis. class. It is not the ecolie who is so much to blame as the man who does not, complain when
he has a clear czas.

THE VOLUNTEER CAMP. To-day will witness the concluding operations in connection with the temporary occupation of Stonecatter's by the members of the Volunteer Corps.

Lifounder canvas, during the past work, has been, somewhat arduous, awing to the stormy weather that has prevailed; damp blankets and chill winds being the reverse of pleasant; but, despite the discomforts experienced, the men appear to have benefited considerably by their period of training.
Saturday and Sunday were guest days, --and the crowded lauschenwich put off from Murray Flor testified to the interest which tus civilia Friends of the Volunteers take in comp life. It has been extremely cold at night on the Island, and with a view to getting the blood of the men into a good state of circalation, and of counteracting any harmful symptoms that might be occasioned by the moisture and chill winds, the men have been paraded for drill. esch morning before breakfast, and pat through a mries of invigorating evolutious.
