OUR soul thrills with joy to learn that dancing gowns of tulle, which are how the fashion, have no steals in the foundation skirt, but are given the requisite bouffant effect with a small hair bustie and a row of crinoline fources underneath.

A CORRESPONDENT writes that the reports of the accident at the Hongkong Hotel in the China Mail and Daily Press are grossly inaccurate, and suggests that the talented reporters must either have been "got at" by some local Joe Miller, or contented themselves by accepting as gospel, without any inquiry, a fot of silly "gup.".

Kemp said that he ran down his quary in Queen's Road East, who was quite unable to way where he stopped or what was his occupation. To the interrogations of the Magistrate Mr. Williams said he was an apothecary out of practice, and that although he had no regular domestic establishment he had been living with a Reverend Father of the Church. Lately he had taken a trip over to Kowloon to see what was going on at the Dock Co.'s worka, but had not yet succeeded in getting the job he had in his eye. Mr. Wodehouse after some further enquiries from Sergeant Kemp, was constrained to declare the unfortunate gentleman a vagrant and to provide him with free board and lodging at the expense of the colony,
WE are informed by a correspondent, with reference to our statement as to the probable cause of the accident at the Hongkong Hotel yesterday, that no arches had been cut in the wall, and that the remains of the arches now visible are those of the two old windows which have been there ever since the building was erected, many years ago. Our correspondent imagines that the old brickwork between thene two windows failed, but what the cause of the failure is at present a mystery," We have merely to say that we were well aware that the arches we inspected yesterday were those of what used to be windows in the dining room, and that our information was that not only had tha supports of these two windows been taken away in order to make a connection between the old and new buildings, but that the fire- place had also been removed to make a third archway, without anything having been done to strengthen the wall thus so materially weakened, The "failure" is no mystery to us.
