AN caterprising Chingmain named Tsang Awong was awarded three months hard labor at the Police Court this moming for walking off with a two-wheeler belonging to another man.

At 4 o'clock next morning he found the defendant coolly carting the vehicle about in Queen's Road Central, and gave him in charge as a matter of course. Defendant's ex- planation of the transaction was of the character termed "fishy."

As we reported some time ago, Lord Granville has been reading a lecture to the Foreign Office attaches on words and their uses.

In an interview with a New York Herald te porter, Mr. Edwin Booth said that: from his ex perience, in both countries, he was convinced that the people of the United States are more familiar with Shakspeare than their English brethren. He judged so by the absence of Shaksperean equipment in English theatres and by the greater sympathy of American audiences, arising from their knowledge of the play and the text. Perhaps, however, it would be more cor- rect to say that the Americas people, at least the the cause of all progress; it is the great force theatre goers, are more familiar with the acting of industrial activity, the source of our power of Shakspeare, because three or four of the But it is productive of an endless agitation, of most prominent actors and actresses bave permanent uneasiness, and of general instabil played Shakspearean characters, Irving is, ity.
