MOTOR TRAFFIC ON THE
MAINLAND
PARKING SPACES AND SOME. DRIVERS
(BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
Sowe years ago, I believe there was some talk about starting a tramway service in Kowloon but as I was not very interested in the problem then, not being a Kowloon resident, I did not follow it with much interest. After all this time, I am beginning to think it was just as well that the idea was dropped, ¦ for one does not think trams would be quite in place in the mainland However, that is purely a matter of opinion.

There will not, however, he 'space for more than perhaps about twenty ears, but the allocation "may be made according to the order in which applications for spece are received.
So far as motor cyclists are con- cerned, they are no better off, and it is to be hoped that in the very. near future, when the authorities deem it "ndvisable and expedient," they will be better looked after.
Women Motorists.
The bus service seems to have thrived very well, and in this con- nection, it would be interesting to, note how the motor industry, gen- erally speaking, has developed in Kowloon There are a great many public cars there in addition to a large fleet of taxis which have only very recently been reinforced by the. addition of a number of three-

One thing about the motor trafic in Kowloon is that, it seems to be much better regulated than that in the Island. For one thing, there is no touting for fares by those who make a few cents in this way on behalf of the public ears, and it does seem queer that such public ears are rather scarce near the ferry wharf.
Parking Space.
While on the traffic question in the mainland, I want to say that I have heard many motorists com plaining of the present parking facilities. Quite a number of owner drivers living in the more remote corners of the peninsula drive out to the ferry every morning, and with the car stand over a hundred yards away, it is rather a nuisance at times. Perhaps the authorities may also consider putting some sort of awning or shelter over this space (opposite the Y.M.C.A.) so that owner-drivers need not have to worry about leaving the car to the

As in other years, the perform- ance is no empty display of mili.. tarism, no glorification of wür for its own sake. The theme this year is loyalty, exemplified particularly Khartoum, followed by the victory by Gordon's splendid sacrifice at

Charge of Dervishes, The Egyptian episodes are admir ably contrived.
Gordon's solitary figure, challenging the tribesmen from the roof of his palace, to pro- duce their leader, is unforgettable. Se, too, is the magnificent charge of the Dervishes across the arena against the British zarebas, from which the crackling infantry fire mows them down in hundreds. This for sheer dramatic production is a tour-de-force.
The other costume episodes, if less stirring, have their own vivid appeal. The Jorrocks scene strikes an admirable note of broad rural

The Supreme Moment. But, fascinating and impressive as these action parables are, the staple joy of the Tattoo must always be the formal maneuvres and the music of the massed bands.
To bear the lovely adagio from Beethoven's "Pathétique

The torchlight display by the Grenadier Guards, the Irish Guards, and the Queen's Royal Regt. is a fascinating sequence of intricate patterns forever developing and die solving. The Highland Display, cul- minating in the charge and the salute, is a symphony of music, colour and rhythm, fading exquisite. ly as the last notes of the pipes linger on, half heard, in the distant
