The topical-allusions, introduced were decidedly clever, and the one perhaps mod enjoyed was that in which reference was made to the possibility of escape from prison. "The Brat;" when threatening the cook with condiga punishment if he did not turn up to prepare dinner on the night of the arrival of the Inspector-General, de clared that he would put him in prison, not an ordinary prison, but a military prison--from which he could not escape The house roared over it, and even the Superintendent of the Victoria Gaol was seen to smile.
That reminds me. When are we likely to hear anything about the return of the Peak barglar who escaped from prison Of course, we know that certain formali- ties have to be gone through before he can be removed from Macao to Hong- kong, but the delay acems unusual. Can it be that our authorities are not hurry ing the matter because they believe that the prisoner is more sale in Macao than he would be in Victoria Gaol? Again, supposing he is accommodated in the gloomy building near the Old Bailey, what is the betting on his succeeding in getting out a third time?

TAXING BOATS IN RIVER.
Some time ago a tax was instituted to be levied on all craft in the river, junks, sampane and slipper beats in proportion to their size, passenger boats paying extra. This tax was expected to bring in a large sum to the exchequer, but the river people have not looked upon it favourably and opposition has been met with in collecting it. The authorities, however, have persevered in the matter and during last menth the sum of $25,601 was collected, which is an improvement on previous levics The accounts have been submitted to the Euditors and passed as accurate.
VUSTING THE FOREIGNER.
It has been evident from time to time since the revolution that public feeling
is all against foreigners holding positions under the Chinese Government or in
5 Chinese firms. The new officials consider that they can find Chinese to fill any
1 position in the country and if they have not the men at band they propose to

Valley. Deep Water Bay or Fanling. Tennis is popular on all private courts. In the warni weather, scores of both sexDS seek their diversion on or in the water, In the winter, picnics on the hills are the order of the day. The very configura tion of the place and the nature of the elimate may be regarded as against large attendances at Churches on the island. Returning fatigued from the day's re- creation, people are disinclined to tarn out again for the evening service. People swarm to the Cathedral only when there is some special musical service. The fact that a sum of about 210,000 has been collected for the Organ Fund of the Cathedral, as a result of practically two Davis years of effort, by means of organ re- Chipton citala and collections at special musical Riley
Porter services, indicates that good music con- stitutes the most powerful attraction, and in that respect it is but due to Mr. Denman Faller, the Cathedral organist, to say that St. John's Cathedral is second to none in the Far East. Any weakening of that feature of the Cathedral service would appear likely to have a banoful effect slike on the attendance and the collections. This view found no expres- sion at the scatholders meeting, but it is nevertheless widely entertained. The best hope for increased attendances would seem, therefore, to lie in the prospect of having two,clergymen attached to the
Cathedral who would move freely about among the nominal members of the con- gregation and stimulate their interest in Church work. A great deal depends upon the popularity of the clergyman, upon his tactfulness even more perhaps than on his preaching abilities.
