Sir-The now regulations published in last week's Govern- mont Gazette have no doubt caused a gront stir among quite a number of residents, and, al- though personally I donotindulgo in the luxury of motor rides on ordinary occasions, I have had once or twice taken visitors, who were passing through Hongkong, for a drive to Aberdeen over the Jubiles Road. It is a great pity that the new regulations will deprive visitors of using this real, arend which I understand was built with money subscribed by the community in memory of the Tate Queen Victoria. A finer hit of scenery could hardly be found anywhere in the world, and to bar this road for the sake of per haps a fow horsemen, is, to say the least of it, incomprehensible.
