AN ISLANDER'S DIARY.
("By Ajax.")
Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice, the angineering and harbour expert, has come and gone, and it will not be long. I expect, before we shall learn the nature of the recommendations that he will make for improving. Hongkong harbour. It is not likely that any grandiose scheme will be put forward, although in certain quarters it is reported that the tunnelling of the barbour, may form one of the many sugges tions. For many years the subject of bridging or tunnelling the harbour so as to give a permanent connection between Hongkong and Kowloon has been discussed. I believe that Mr. Fletcher is a great believer in the tunnelling project and has advised the Government that when the day comes as it inevitably must conie - for some direct means of communi- cation between Hongkong and the mainland they should adop: tunnelling instead of bridging. The te iling scheme is not sof form e as people imagine. To
, the mere idea of a tunnel ching from Hongkong to Kow. loon appears to be a figment of fanciful imagination, but the time should not be far distant when Some direct connecang line will be established between the Island and Kowloon
Whether it be made by means of a cunnet or bridge remains doubtful and may depend upon the expert report of Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice for its settlement. About the growing necessity of some such connection there is no question,

Two noted Russian artistes, Leo Podolsky (pianist) and Mile. Vera Mirova (danseuse) are to make their debit before the public of Hongkong to-morrow sight, at the Theatre Royal, when a big musical treat is promised.
clude a dance to music by Rubinstein, an interpretation of Chopia's Valse, "The Dancing Doll" (Poldini, "The Snake" (one of her most striking dances), and a March by Schabert. These will give some idea of the wonderful individuality of Mlle. Mirova's dancing Bad illustrate the variety of her talents.
Podolsky will contribute some numbers from the old and modern masters, finishing with the Finger Valss of Tschaikowsky-Percy Grainger. This talented Russian musician comes to Hongkong with a big reputation, and there will no doubt be a large audience at the Theatre to-morrow night.
