THE NAVAL YARD." According to Beuter. the acheme for transferring the Naval Yard establishment to the Kowloon side has been knocked on the head by the Admiralty, and the new extensions are to be carried out as originally design ed. We do not think that the public will receive this news with satisfaction. What they had hoped for, under Mr. Obater's new reclamation scheme, was A continuous Prays running thể whole length of the city front, and also a large reduction of over crowding, but with the Naval Yard occupying its present position this is impossible. We fancy that the Admiralty cannot have con- sidered the matter as thoroughly as could be wished. Had they done so, we believe that the Naval Yard would have been shifted to Kowloon and the scheme for a continuous Prays would have gone through. Our reasons for thus thinking are that it stands to reason that, as time goes on, the Naval Establishment here must be increased, which will neces. sitate a larger Naval Yard and this will not be obtainable on this side of the harbour without incurring great expense. If the present Yard is to be enlarged, it will mean that town lota will have to be purchased at high prices and that the Yard will have to be extended seswards by reclamation. On the other hand, were the Naval Yard established on the Kowloon shore, landing at the many evidences Souzs sufficient land could be taken up of resource and management.

✨ OIVILIAN CLUB. We are glad to see the Civilian Club is being pushed ahead and bids fair to take its place amongst the recognised institutions of Hongkong. Started 9 months ago with a membership of 45, it now has over 100 on its roll The most important thing in a new Club is the financial position and this in "The Civils" is very satisfactory, In the winter, weekly dancos are held, and in the summer smoke Bacials keep the membora in touch. Already the promises are felt to be too small and a more commodious building is being enquired for Mr. T. Elvins, the courteous Secretary, has all the arrangements complete for the contest between a pinked team from the police and one from the members of the Club that meet to-night in the billiard tour- Dament A-dinner and concert is to follow and everything promises to pass off in a manner that will be a credit to the Club and a keen enjoyment to the visiting team. THEN AS NOW.

Whatever the spot you may visit,
A mountain or sea-side resort,
If you should remark, "Oh, why is it
That rain interferes with our sport?"
The natives will give you this reason,
As though they were chanting together,
"It's normally dry at this seasoD,
But this is unusual weather!"
And when from the city you're flying
To somo "breeży country retreat," And find every body is frying
In almost unbearable heat, When all of the countryside blazos
With fires of a world that is nother, You hear this most frequent of phrases, "It's really unusual weather i ̧”
*
*
"It never was this way before,"
They say of the heat or the wet, We've lived bere a lifetime of more,
And this fa the worst we've had yet." The boosters are always inclined;
The same sort of bull to untether, Wherever you go you will find
It's always "unusual weather."
