Bob and Eula are booked to sail on 19th. Inst., for Singapore where they have a contract to appear at Rames hotel on 15th. Inst.
The adroit general manager of the Hong Kong hotel, Mr. Piova- nelll, has now persuaded Bob and Eula to extend their season, which should have terminated on Satur- day, until their sailing date, and so they will arrive at Singapore or the morning of the day on which they are billed to make their first appearance. They will thus have just enough time for rehearsal, and, then a short rest before going into their set.
