PRIVATE LETTER FROM THE COLONY TO SHANGHAI
There is a certain amount of interest in seeing how we are represented to the outside World. The Shanghai Mercury gives prominence to the following ex tract from a private letter received from Hongkong. publishing it under the sitle of "Hongkong's Excellent Example." The letter was written cn June 24th. That perhaps accounts for "the milk in the coconut." It is as under:-

You must have read the drastic action already taken by the Government, and honestly, I am proud to be under the Union Jack here. We can and are showing the Chinese what we can do. No menoy exceeding can be taken away from the Colony, no rice, no flour, and practically all foodstuffs are strictly forbidden to be exported. The Chinese are already feeling the 'pinch," but the Europeans have plenty to eat, and drink. Of course, the little incon- veniedes caused by having no boya is treated as a huge joke. The Governor was to have left last week, but he has postponed his departure, and, these are his words in the proclamation" nothing on which to adjudicate or to compromise. I am going to ace this non- sense through, and those responsible for my delay will be more than surprised at the consequences, and peace and order shall reign at all costs. My Government

TIENTSIN HONG TENNIS DOUBLES
WON BY RUMJAHN BROTHERS.
i
Messrs. O and M. Rumjahn, of the K.M.A., won the Tientsin Hong Tennis dcübles on June 29th, defeating Alesera, Liddell Bros. pair (Way and Reynell).
Commenting on the gant, the Peking and Tientsin Times said:-
Despite the prophesy of those who knew that the Hong doubles final would go to five scis, the great majority of spectators at the Tientaia Tennis Club Courts had a hard job to keep that con- (de-viction after the first few minutes of play.
INDIAN PROBLEM. LORD BIRKENHEAD'S STATEMENT.
The K.M.A. pair were so obviously better than Liddell Bros., that there did not acem any reason on earth why they should take longer than three sets in which to win the trophy. But in the end there was a reason, and the reason was Way.
This young player was regarded as one of Tientain's best a couple of seasons ago, but he failed to justify the promise he showed. On Saturday we saw him return to his old form, and it was owing solely to his grit, persistence and clever play that Liddella rallied sufficiently well to farge the K.M.A to go to five sets, and to have at one time a distinctly rosy chance of winning.

Both were sound, would not be diverted froin its high ob- ligations to India by tactics of restless impatience. The door of acceleration of reforms was, nos open to menace; still less would it be stormed by violence, but the date of the Royal Commission to re- view reforms might be accelerated when responsible Indian leaders gave evidence of a genuine desire to co-operate, making the best of the existing Constitution. Any Constitution produced by the Clov ernment's critics in India, backed by a fair measure of general agreement by the people of India, would be most care- fully examined,
