The belief that the new moon would bring along better weather conditions was justified after all.

Hongkong made rather a sorry show in the interport cricket match at Shanghai. It may be that they lost the game on tactics, in going to the wicket under conditions which were favourable to the bowler, though it seems to be suggested from the facts that they were not strong enough for the combination that was arrayed against them. However, the win of the northern port makes the honours easy between the two places. Boventeon watches, have been played between the representatives of both ports. Hongkong has won oight, so has Bhang bai, and one match ended in a draw. Though Hongkong's sours was very low, it was not so low as it was in 1906, when the two innings only The bombshell which Mr. W. L.

The subject lun been fraaly discussed since Mr. Carter vostikted it in the Daily Press, and -fbero soome ta bỏ a consonsus of opinien that, apart from the außt- ness of the whole thing, the fact that more accommodation is provided than can be utilised by Government offices suggests a negligence for which somebody should "got it in the neck."
If the Corornmont is really desirous of sewing the whole building occupied by Goreramont Offices, and would welcome a suggestion on the subject. I would respectfully beg leave to offer two. In the first place I think it very desirable that at least one Eurapean Officer of the Post Office should have quarters on the promise, That suggestion, I think, will be very widely on. doraod. The second proposal I bave to make is that the Shipping Maaler should be accommodated in the building. Among shipping mon it has always bean grievance that they should be compelled to go all the way to the Sailors Home at West Point, to interview the Shipping Master. In the old days when ships made a nday of péveral days in port, perhaps the snar of grievance was not so keon as it is in these days when the pujority of vessels are here ore day and off the next, and though the introduction | of trams has provided a means of rapid inive! to the Sailors' Home it romains a source of con. stant annoyatos that the Shipping Mastor should be flæod theraand his reinoral to move con. tral quarters would be greatly appreciated.
