HONGKONG AQUATICS,
ANOTHER FINE DISPLAY OF WATERY
MARVELS.
Now that Hongkong has entered the dog- days, the principal form of entertainment in the Colony seems to be aquatic entertainments, and those who have had, the pleasure of wit- nessing what the items under the charge of the Public Works Department can perfonn in the way of simple, innocent and homely amuse- ment must award it the palm. As an origin. ator of aquatic sports the PW.D. can beat all comers, with one hard behind its remarkable back. The other morning, and well into the forenoon, the Department gave an unrelimaised show in statue square, which was greatly ad mired, although it became rather monotonous, being kept up for some hours which is, apt to pall. Accordingly, in strict justice to the nu merous rate-payers on the water-fr nt it was only fair they should realise that they were getting their money's worth, to put it crudely Joking apart, those who were leaving their offices on the front at tiffin time to-day had a first-hand exhibition of the power of the water in the mains. Opposite the P. & C. offices, a pipe burst, about a quarter to one o'clock, and a stream of water arose over-topping the tram. way cable and supplying a rich and luxurious draught to a dry and thirsty thoughfare, it might almost have been a libution poured out

The Hon. the Registrar-General minuted, This is a very large tank. This is the first application of the kind I remember seeing, is there some special reason for it?

And there we reach the frax of the whole matter, Why was not the., supply reduced before to a reasonable number of tos per day, with due warning to the householders' that it was but a preliminary step to further reductions in the duration of the hours of the water supply, and thus prepare them gently for what was coming in the near future? It is a well-known fact,
while cholics were collecting frem far and near with buckets, kerosine tins, rugs, old slippers, and what not. They gathered round the mighty geyser, made a dash and deposited their receptacle. When it had been filled to the brim, they made another dive and came forth with a panikin of water which they guarded as jealously as a dog a bone, and ran home with it. One enterprising individual brought forth a 24-gallon barrel which he had hired from the Mutual Stores. He attempted to set it in the centre of the waterfall, but the unionists" decided that this was the nucleus of a "irust" and they heaved him and his barrel on to the sidewalk. He had the consolation that he if had little in bis barret he had plenty on his clothes. The stream of water still mounted merrily, and the crowd continued to grow. It was a sight well worth seeing and this much may be admitted at once that tiffin-time is the best hour for displays of this character: Somebody had gone to the Hongkong Hotel, they said, to shut off the water, and amid cries of "Shame!" another individual who claimed to be a water authority said he was bound for the saune haven. Still the water held on at the rate of so many hundred gallons a minute. One pre-among those who study the reports, that in the cacions youngster offered to sell his share at one cash a lick, and found buyers. It was rumoured that they were trying to cut the water off from Pedder Streer, Lat yame" try, as they said in Scotland some scores of years ago, and they did try and succeeded. The. geyser gave a cough, a gurgle and all was o'er, to be poetical for a finish. The crowd disper sed, a friendly Sikh policeman, who had been staring wide-eyed at this, one of the marvels of the East, giving the hint that duty must be done.

The Medical Officer of Health minuted: Owing to the meeting of three roads fust in this neighbourhood there is a good amount of open space there.
