When I recalled the fact last week that nearly every Governor of the Colosy has his memorial in the name of a strunt, the spirit moved me to add a few romarks on the room for improvement in our strest nomenclature, but the exigencies of space obliged me to postpone those remarks. I had intended among other questions to ask why it was necessary to give to stroats in Kowloon nomies which are already borno bg streats in Hongkong. Des Voeur Road and Robinson Read, Kowloon, might with advantage be renamed, and an opportunity would thus be afforded of carrying out the sggestion made by "1" in a letter to the Daily Press last week, in which the writer lamented the absonce of any memorial in our Colony, in the street nomenclature or otherwise, of the services rendered to Hongkong and to British interests generally in China by Sir Harry Parkes. I am thoroughly in accord with the sentiments er- pressed in the letter, for Sir Harry Parkes,

some time back with reference to the desirabi lity of skippers taking the dog-watch, I should like to make a few remarks on the same subject, being a shipmaster myaolf. I quito agree with Captain No. 1, and I think all masters carrying only two males ought to keep the Best dag-watch at least from 4 till 6 p.m.. there- by giving the oflear keeping the eight-hours" night watch sight bourn rest before going on watch, This would guarantee 3. most offlcient watch, and the captain would be able to got

with the life-work of Sir Harry--and whoover is not should read Mr. Lane Poole's Life of Sir Harry Parkes--will surely welcome the suggestion made in the leading article of Saturday's Daily Press that a status be erected in kis honour either in Hongkong or Kowloon -by public subscription. No man more richly deserves that honour, and I trust that the pro- posal will meet with support from the British commmmity.
In the interests of historical accuracy, may I venture to say, Mr. Editor, that the Daily Press leader of Saturday is not strictly correct in describing Parkes' pornoction with Kowloon. "L" was quite right in saying that Parkes was instrumental in getting a lease of the territory. He may also have subsequently been instrumental in getting the territory ceded in perpetuity to the British erows, but his biographer does not afford any information on the point. It may interest many readers
how Parkes if I briefly state
Camo to
be thus prominently associated with Kowloon, It was in 1860, when Sir Hercules Robinson was Governor of Hongkong and when military operations were in progress up North. This is what Parkes biographer has to say on the subject:--
"The very first letter of this interesting correspondence [Parkes to his wife] notices au important stop which was taken at Parkes suggestion; this was the lease of the Kowloon peninsula opposite Hong- kong by the British Government. Kowloon was the invariable refuge of the pirates, robbers, and criminals in general who infeat- ed the Bogae, and its possession was almost. essential to Hungkong on military as well as civil grounds. Its mandy plain was also. wanted immediately for quartering the troops which were destined for the attack on Peking; and nothing could be eddor than that the local Chinese should lend it för
such a purpose. It needed an intimate knowledge of their notions to conceive commanders such a scheme, and the

dreamt of it; but to Parken it was the most natural and practicable thing in the world, and far preferable to exciting animosity by forcibly taking possession of the laud. He was in consultation on 16th arch [1880], le tells his wife, about the Kowloon project with the Genoral and Bir Hercules Robin. After hearing what

I had to say, both Sir H, Robinson and Sir Hope Cunt came round to my way of thinking as to the desirability of getting a leuse of Kowloon, although they had already begun to land troops

JAPAN'S OPEN PORTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY PRESS*
Anping, 31st January, 1904. SIR,-The China Mail makes the following statement in its issue of the 13th instant :-
"The trade between Formosa and Japan is considered as coastwise trade, and only Japanese Fossela may engage in it.
While the Japanese Government provants a British vossol from making a voyage between Tamsai and Nagasaki or any other port in Japan, we find the Anbilised steamore of the Nippon Yasen Kaisha, in common with the reuels of other nationalities, carrying freight and passengers from Hongkong to London, touching chiefly at British ports en route."
Article XI. of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty deals with the subject as follows:
Acd a British vossel laden in a foreign country with cargo destined for two or more ports in the dominions and possessions, of Hie Majesty the Emperor of Japan, may discharge
portion of her cargo at one port and continue her voyage to the other port or ports of destination where foreign trade is permitted, for the purpose of landing the remainder of her original cargo there, subject always to the law and Cratom House regulations of the countries. Tha Japanese Govern- two
agrees to allow Britisha ment, however, vessels to coutings, as heretofore, for the period
duration of the
ot the present treaty, to carry cargo between the existing open ports of the empire, excepting to or from the ports of Osaka, Nügate, and Ebian minato,
the existing open ports of Formosa ware Takao, Anping (Ti insufa), Tomasi, Keelung,
The Anglo-Japanese Treaty was signed and ratified before the annexation of FormosA, The Austro Hungarian Treaty was ratified after the said annexation bad takou place and under the most-favoured-nation clause Great Britain ban the same rights as Austro-Hengary. This must be mentioned, us it was said that the Japanese Government intended to recoguise only the former open ports of old Japan and not Formosan open ports, as these could not have been meat by the signatories of the tresty, But apart from the fact that the Austro- Hungarian treaty was ratified after the annexa- tion of Formosa, it could not logically be entertained that the portion of the treaty prohibiting coasting trade to foreign Bags refers also to the Formosa coast, whilst the portion dealing with the exceptious dess not refer to the Formoss coast or the Formosa opeo ports. In fact, cargo from South Formoss to Japan has been taken by foreign eteamers sinen the new treaty camu in force-Yours, &c.,

The Club kicked off against the wind, making a rash with quick passes, promptly put a stop to by the soldiers, who lost no time ia attacking. The Club got away at last, and Williams, the Club's outside right, passed to Bonner, who made a good shot, but hit the crossbar. After a second goal-kick by the Sher woods that team carried the ball down the right wing, terminating the run by successfully passing the Club backs; the shot for goal was a little wide The Sherwoods shortly afterwards gave Kes an opportunity to stop the ball with his foot. Again they shot for goal, the ball this time going behind out of Kow's hands. After the corner-kick the Club got a lock in, and Bonnar did some pretty dodg. ing on the left wing. Eventually the Sherwoods sent, the ball back with a bigh kick, and this time a goal by Bishop resalted, great applauss Another being given by the spectators. attack was made, and though parried for some time the ball was driven home by Beresford from close quarters.
