It will proceed through a double line of lilamlasted cargo boats cammen. cing in the neighbourhood of Jardine's Wharf and terminating at Marray Pier. The cargo boals will be moored at a distance from each other of about twenty yards. Communication with the shor wil therefore be possible through out the day until the actual commencement of the procession.

-All launches taking part in the procession are requested to assemble at Jardlee's Wharf not later than 630 p.m. It is desirable where possible that a responsible European should be to charge of each lanach.

At sa engineering establishment not a hundred miles from Arsenal Street quite an army of Celestial workmen began rivetting operations, or something equaly molay, at II p.m. and.. thenceforward till breakfast time to-day a deafen-issued in due courir. Ing clanging was kept up that fairly made night bideons and most effectually dispelled sleep. It seemed as if several boilers were being operated on at one and the same time and the awful din was kept up with a monotonous persistence that may be better imagined than described. The nocturnal cat or dog of vocal proclivities is generally braten off with a boot- Jack or other missile, but last night's intolerable Duisance had to be endured with patient out- pouring of anathems. It was probably a job that had to be asked through on ilme, but it cortably was most annoylog and offensive and showed an utter disregard for the rights- of the cores of Europeans and hundreds of Chine log in the immediate vicinity of the works. The Hogkong and Whampoa Dock Co's works are wisely situated far otelde the Balls bolb of the city of Victoria and the fanblorable suburb of Kowloon, and why the Government allows engineering establishments, both European and Chinese, to work at 1 hours of the day and night Is the city and in, a way that cause most serious annoyance to hundreds al people who have nothing to do with and no laterest in sech works just one of those Conundrums which ose finds it wiry difficult to puzzle cut la mach-governed 'Crown colonies. Not only are engineering catablishments a greit, and in this hot weather a very serious nuisance to the ratepayers living in the vicinity of the works when siinsted in thickly populated districts, but, one would think, they have a tend ency to seriously detract from the value of house properly.

It is the short-sightedness of a Govern- ment that granted sites for the erection of such works in localities that wer's pretty sure to soon become densely populated.

But, if circumstances render it necessary that they should live in Wanchai, that is surely no reason why many who cannot afford to pay high sents should be made to suffer very seriously for the brazit of a few. Could not the Govern. ment grant suitable sites to engineering establishments and tin-smiths outside the Umalty of the city of Victoria? It is, after all, probably only a question of £ •. d.
