KOWLOON CITY.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, APRIL 30TMп, 1904.
It only remains to be said that Kowloon City, however interesting it may be, is not a place to visit at present, Plagne is prevalent there and there is a rumour abroad that if the worst comes to the worst the whole central part of the city may be demolished. Apart from the sentimental point of view, there can be no doubt that such

Of all our possussions in the Now Territory, Kowloon is one of the most interesting. It is a typical Chinese city within easy hail of Hongkong and it contains within its walls all the picturesqueness and all the in- salubrious smells that strike the Westerner. It is interesting to recall the fact that when the New Territory was ceded to Britain in 1898 it was not then contemplated to take over Kowloon City, but when the British Government found but that the Chinese high officials had had their palms oiled in connection with the disturbances that followed upon the taking over of the New Territory, they marked the sense of their dis- approbation of the officials" conduct by foreibly taking possession of the city and exercising complete control over it.
Visitors to Hongkong invariably maka n point of visiting Kowloon City. It is in minia ture a replica of Canton or Fatsian or any of the cities in South China. There one can BUM, life and industry in all their activity and colour The city itself occupies a position at the head of Kowloon Bay which from a health point of view could not be surpassed. All the year round it is funuod by the sea breezes from Lycomun Pass.

Many aro the stories told of fortunes lost and won at Kowloon City. It was a common thing in the days before British rule prevailed for reystorers froni Hongkong to aross over and venture their all on tai qut or sam jan as the case might be.
When the British took over the city there was of course & stoppage of gambling and most of the proprietors of these houses cleared out in Macan or Canton. But, the houses stil remain unchanged. In structure they resemble the fantan gambling-hells of the neighbouring Portuguese colony or of the city of Canton, there being a gallery above the table from which those who desire to put money on any number lower down their stakes in a little basket.
Finally there was a general display, two escapes and two ladders simultaneensly being called inte roquisition. Six saperate linos of hoses were rushed from the Praya, where they wore coupled on to fire-engines-there were three fire-engines-two on to each engine.

The competition is open, and judging by experience of other years, its various matches will be very intersting from a spectacular view- point.

J. A.

A good trudgen swimmer can keep the ball between his arms, the ball being driven from one arm to the other as each stroko is made. It is very difficut to rob a man of the ball who dribblos it along in this fashion.

Mr. May has appa- rently been awake to the idea of utilising some of these impnsters for decorative purpose, for at present ve of thera are being mounted on the mound alongside the Police Station, and very imposing they should look when put into position.
To-day at about half-past four the funeral of Inspector J. H. Gidley of the Hongkong Police Force will pass the Monument at Morrison Hill. Mr. Gidley had been in had health for some time past, suffering from Bright's disease, and he had only returned, to Hong. long after spending a period of leave in the Straits Settlements, to which he had been recommended to go with a riów to a cure of hia ailment. He was in the Police for about thir teen years and Wan connected with the Detective Department, of which he was one of the most falmed meribers, for about six yours. He got a medal for the work he did in connection with the suppression of plague in 1894 and last year he was awarded another for his services in connection with Sir Henry Biake's experimental administration of First Street at Weat Point when plague was prevalent there. Among the Police he was very highly respected and was gone Lally a favourite by reason of bis genial ways and obliging maunar. He was married about three years ago when home on leave. Our sympathy for Mrs. Gidley will be echoed by all who knew her husband.

ANOTHER DANGER TO SHIPPING. In the last issue of the Daily Press we gava reports, firat hand, of two derelicts in the China Sea, both in the track of steamers. There are dangers which lie in the path of deep water craft which even the care and skill of the best navigators cannot avoid. Ocean derelicts form one of the greatest menaces to ships, and these submerged and abandoned vessels could doubtless explain the disappearance of many fine ship. Capt. St. John Georgo, of the 3.5.
