There is no doubt that the festive season in upon us. The shop windows will not allow us to overlook it, neither will Flower Street, and the obildren we dally see in the streets with parents in their train are bubbling over with R.G.A. ereltement at the approach of the great festival Kowloon which means so much to them. Santa Claus bas many correspondente, even in Hongkong, Army and the old gentleman with the frosty board will doubtless have a busy time nort Saturday night.
The good fellowship asapointed with Christus is demonstrated afresh in Hongkong this week. In the harbour He the warships of Beveral nations, and international amity is certainly enhanced by the exchange of courtesien which tako place at these meetings. Besides the British crainers, there are the German naval visitors, the American, the Italian, the French And the Portuguese, and the unity of the races will be seen during Christmas wecka sight which is none the least of the pleasant features Basocisted with Hongkong.
The social diary for the remainder of the year is very full, Thore are dances galore, dinner parties and bridge parties are more numerous than ever, and even the porannial inwen tannis engagements have assumed more Eocial aspects. The Taikoo Dook and the Police dances take place on Friday evening, and the Kowloon Dock Dance, which urally falls on Hogmanay will be held on Friday, 30th inst., and will con- sequently be deprived of its Boots ceremonial in bringing in the New Year.

The principals in the boring touruament which is to take place at the City Hall on Christmas Ere are now hard at work proparing for the fray. The main event is a twenty-five three-minute round contest between Bill Lewis, walterweight champion of the Orinat. and Kid Parker, who knocked-out Battling Simms at Shanghai. The fight, which is to be one-arm- free, is for a purse of $1,200, and promises to excel all previons affairs of the kind in the Colony. Parker is nearly as big as Kannoy (the only us who has defeated Lewis in Hongkong), but he has not the same great rench which favoured the American. He has, however, the benefit of about s stone in weight, and as he is a hard hitter and takes punishment like Spartan, the sporting public may rely on a good fight, for they have had provious experience of Lewis and know that he is game till the end Another interesting fight will be between Roddie Stanton, the welterweight shampion of Canada, has taken on a big proposition, but he may be Arst to bat and were disposed of for 56 runs, of relied upon to put up ugallant battle.
