BONGKONG JOTTINGS,
Hongkong still continues to talk about and to feel the cold, The lowest reading of the thermometer of which I have heard was 41 at a house on the Peak, the time being about 8 o'clock am. The lowest, offelal rotura for Hongkong, lower level, seems to be 54. There appears every indication of the cold lasting, and the hope of a little more warmth which I mentioned last week seems to have faded away. Wo. can therefore don with appreciation the clothes which, if months ago, we could not look at without perspiring, Hongkong is getting quite brilliant with waistcoats, about the only article with which man can usually make himself gay. As for the ladies well, my. pen fails me to describe how they have welcomed the wintry weather with becoming customes,

Played on Saturday, on the Happy Valley ground, this game resulted in a victory for the Naval team by 5 tries (15 points) to I goal from a mark (5-points). The Navy team on this occasion took unplererenge for the berry delest inflicted by the bomenters on a representative fifteen of the "lade in blue" last week, and throughout the game proved themselves smarter on the ball and more accurate in their bouts of passing than their opponents; but the rool canse of their victory was a decided, superiority ia working the squm.

How
And
I regret to say that when Mr. Cooke denoribed ' the frat European buildings in Hongkong as "gorgeous palaces" ho permitted himself a license which he very well know few of his readers were in a position to call in question. De alto relied upon the proverbial shortness of memory of the average newspaper reader, for iu a previons letter he had written that "the bungalows generally consist of three rooms about forty feet high, ail opening upon a verandau, some bedrooms and a set of detached offices for Chinese." If such were gorgeous pilaces" how should a writer describe the residences of the present day in Hongkong?
•
There are some respects in which the contrast between now and then is not very striklug. Fur example, "it was by na common expenditure of time and interest that my friend obtained for me a single room at a price not much above what a lodging in Regent Street would cost in the London senzor." Woll, rents are still p sere subject in Hongkong, and Mr. Cooke's comparison might be allowed to stand. But in these days of a low exchange we may feel devoutly thankful that Hongkong is not ta place where a turkey and a ham vest £5."
The spirit of E. Andrew must evidently have permeated the temperament of a Chiness of the coolia class in the vicinity of tho sito of the new Post Office last Wodnesday evening. This locality not being well illuminated-tho Praya side of Des Voeux. Road at this spot iudced being almost totally devoid of any illuminant- favoured the carrying out of his "little joke." Arming.bimaolf with a large-sized brick, he lay ju wait until a yieksha cóntaining an European drew near, and then launched his missile. That he succeeded in giving the occupant a sudden shook goes without saying. Fortunately the brick only struck tho intended victim'on the hip, and thence rebounded into the foot of the vehicle. But the affair might casily have been fraught with more serious consequences. The ossailent got clear away. Still it is somewhat astonishing that guel an occurrence is possible within only a few yards of the Hongkong Hotel. Where were the police?
I have noticed some very pretty plants in the compound of Wellington Barrão:e. They are trimmed into the shape of men and other fan- taatio designs. Tourists will do well to hire a look at them; they will be nothing new to those who visited the Chiness flowor-show held on the Prora at Coronation time.
