THE LADY OF OSTEND.
...
Last evening the galaxy of first class talent, brought here by the, Janet Waldoff Company, again proved its superiority to many of the artists that visit Hongkong from time to time. The Lady of Cated held the boards, and laughter from the rise to the fail of the curtain may aptly be described as the one special feature of the evening amongst the large audience. It is indeed not saying ton much, that, compared with their last production, the powerful drama A Royal Dvorce, wherein great pathos and histrionic ability is required, the members of the company appeared in quite à different role, and demonstrated that one and all are blessed with the double gift of being able to poutyaya vividly, both in the dramatic and comic line. This rattling piece is in three acts and the scene f the action takes place in the house of Mr. Dick Whortles, who during a trip to Ostend," on a business matter of importance" has been caught by the camera indulging at the seaside in a tête à-tête with as unknown

proved trur. When a parcel arrives notice is served that the parcel awaits examination and duty is charged. At first the parcel was sent to the Customs. Surely a strange thing that a British Post Office should hand a parcel re- ceived at the office to the Chinese. Now
parcels are opened, at least sometimes, in the British office presumably with a Customs official present. Perhaps this is stranger still However, all this is done. Now, why do not the French comply with this order? They refuse to do it and parcels pass freely through their office to and from Hongkong. Shall we
