as nearly all the sidewalks in Hongkong are covered. Some remarks were also made by the writer on the subject of botter regulations for rehicular traffic, and though the necessity certainly szinte, I think the Police duties in this respect during the Race days were most effic iently discharged and the force is deserving of a word of commendation.
Some months ago the public were led to believe that the trams would be running in the Race Wook. I suppose the 195 Race meeting must have been referrel to. ae there are no present indications of an early service of trams from the town to the Racecourse. However, I believe that this is no fault of the contractors. The quaintness of Chinese shop-sigus is a matter that often causes mirth with the European. One of the oddest shop-signs in the Colony is to be seen in a street is the west of the City. It is very ancient, and the legood "Dr. Ciss oarved on the wooden board is: first rate hand for splicing broken legs.-John Another shopkeeper in Tommy Tiltkin." Wellington Strest anxounces in bold letters that he can paint and vanish," the absence of the "r" in the last word conveying a meaning which those who have had to do with Chinese contractors will oppreciate. But it is not the Chinese firms alone who are distinguished by bad spelling. An eminent firm of lawyers hensed in the Supreme Court have their sign displayed to the effect that they are "notaries puclie."
