BELT GOVERNMENT SOCIETY. The Self-Government Society is evidently hard up for something to employ its energies. It has come to the knowledge of this body that certain Portuguese from Macao go to nigh. bouring places to shoot birds on Sunday.. This heinous offence is causing great alarm, and considering that the Bonsdary Question is not yat settled, the Society thinks that the shooting of birds by foreigners should be stopped. Some few months ago, two English gentlemen in the employ of a certain well-known firm had the misfortune to slightly wound an agricultural labourer while they were shooting, and of course the Society is trying to make some capital wut of the incident. The question of whether foreigners shall or shall not shoot birds on Sunday is considered by the Society of such importance that they will lay the matter before the Deliberative Council and a statement! is also to be forwarded to the capital for con- sideration. Thus the Self-Government Society fritters away its energies in face of the fact that there are real and serious abuses to be

INTERPORT CRICKET.
Mr. J. W. Bains, formerly of Hongkong, and now on the staff of the Shanghai Timer, has issued a timely publication on Taterport Cricket. The volume, which contains over 130 pages, in a record of matches played between Hongkong, Singapore and Shanghai from 1866 up to 1908, and will be found most valuable at the present time. Mr. Bains must have spent nb little time in research and has certainly not spared himself in compiling the tables which add so much to the utility of the book. Un donbtedly he has laid the cricketing com munities in the three ports under a debt of obligation, and the publication should appeal to many readers throughout the East.
It is interesting to note that the first match Hongkong, in 1866, was productive of the between Hongkong and Shanghai, played at highest score, 430, yet mada in this series of and 59, the latter figure being the lowest score matches. On that occasion Shanghai mode 107 made by Shanghai in interport contests. An- other record was made by Shanghai at that pointed out yesterday, Hongkong and Shanghai match when they bowled 41 wider! A was have each won seven matches and one WAE drawn, while in the contests between Hongkong

"LADY FREDERICK."
At the Theatre Royal last night the Band- mann Comedy Co. staged Mr. W. Somerset Maughan's popular three-sof comedy. "Lady Frederick."
The plot of the comedy hangs round the infatuation of a young mat for a woman, the victim of a loveless marriage, who, subsequent to the death of her husband and only on, gained an unenviable reputation. It develops that Lady Frederick was more sinned against than singing, and while she indignantly resented the ungracions attitude which, the mother of Lord Mereston, her infatuated lover, young man to the folly of falling in love with a adopted towards her, she opened the eyes of the

He used to scratch and rub un- til he bed, causing him great pain and agony, i tried different kinds of soap and ointments all to po purpose. I thought I would dve Caticura Soap a trial I bought a tablet and after my baby's first wash with Cuticure Soap he sooned quite scotbed and slept well. I applied a little Cuticura Ointment every night and after about a mouth's treatment with two tablets of Cutleurs Soap and one box of Cuticura Oltment thero was no sign of rash on any part of his body or face. Ever since, I have kept to Cuticura Soap and no other and hope never to be without it. You will be pleased to hear I use it for my other little boy, now eight months old, whose - desh is beautiful and smooth.

The storm raged all night and nosely, sil' the next day and 2,000 houses were wrecked. Seven persons were. buried in the debris and 60 per cent. of the growing crops were totally destroyed. The district in said to be suffering the acutest dia- tress and over 15,000 persons are depending on charity. It is said that the Government intenda to give relief without delay.
FROCESSIONS AND THIEVES.
They seem to have a more than ordinary liking for religious processions in Fateban, Many of these are held at night, and the pick- pockets, thieves and other bad characters are. not slow to take advantage of the same. Conso quently the police have prohibited many proces- sions, but this brings the police into bad odour with the people. It is now proposed to hold a procession to warn people against the evil of opian smoking Certain persoas, dressed to represent an opium smoker in the various stages of his downward career, are to form a prominent of the procession. The authorities have fered vetoes, calling upon the people to pro- these performances, and peace-daring serve the to take care of their pockets and valuables.
TO PROTECT RETURNING MERCHANTS,
and
The Chinese merchants of Singapore other places in the Sonth have informed the Government that when they return to their native places they are often ill-treated and They have, in by local offcials, squeezed" consequence, regnested that when a merchant returns to Chins he alll be provided with a certificate from the Kwang Chow Chamber of Commerce which will protect him from the attantions of these mercenary officials. The Minister of Agriculture and Industries hse communicstel these facts to the Viceroy, and his Excellemey has notified the Tastai of Indus- tries and the Kwong Chow Chamber of Commeros..
It was fully expected that the men Singapore would have reached here yesterday and provided us with a tennis content this afternoon, but as the German mail steamer was over a day late yesterday and had not arrived, it may be reasonably anticipat. el that the same esuse will considorably doley the Palawan. That being so, the proposed single and doubles matches at tennis will not be played to-day. C.A. Carr and Captain Beasley were to have represented Hongkong against Cox and Biron, the obosen of the Straits, and Carr would, of course, have played for Hong- kong in the singles. It is unfortunate that the Shanghai tennis players will not be able to come down before Thursday next. They travel with the English Mail.
The Empres of India brought the Shanghai representatives here yesterday. They were met. by members of the Hongkong Cricket Club and shown the usual hospitalities.
Play will not commence to-day, but probably the visitors will have some practice at the nets.
