NEW VENTURE ARRANGED FOR KOWLOON,
SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1930.
THE TANDA MURDER TRIAL
DEPARTURE OF SHIP FROM HONGKONG DELAYED.
The preliminary trial of Yamada, the Japanese passenger from Australia to Moji on board the 5.8. Tanda, who has been arrested in connexion with the murder of a Chinese cook on the ship between Thursday Island and Sandakan, was continued before Mr. Whyte Smith, at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday, when the Court sat to a late hour to enable the officers and other members of the crew to sail in the evening. The departure of the vessel as a consequence, was delayed for over two hours.
Mr. H. Somerset Fitzroy, con- ducted the case for the Crown.
The question has often been asked: Why are there no public band performances in Hongkong Here we have a large community and little entertainment provided for the warm summer evenings, Why is there no public Band and no place where the people can gather to enjoy good music in the open air? There is in fact no need to create a Public Band. At the present time we have two or three Military Bands available, whose Bandmasters are willing to co-operate in any way possible. Where then is the difficulty? To be quite candid, the chief dimeul-j ty appears to be the want of a lively community feeling. By way of illustrating consider what hap pens at a place like Kuala Lumpur, There you have the central "Padang," the recreational focus for the city, and after dinner the cars arrive from all quarters and the people meet in social inter course around the spacious Selan- gor Club house, promenade on the

It appears that the Government of Hongkong is sincerely anxious to establish a regular series of Public Band Concerts somewhere in the Colony and has offered an initial-subsidy for the purpose to the Kowloon Residents' Assoria tion, with a request that the organisation of the concerts be carried out by this body.

Many of the resid- ents on the Island who went over to the Peninsula last Monday, on the occasion of Kowloon's Wel- come to the New Governor, were quite delighted with the free and informal spirit that animated the proceedings and the cheerful hall- day mood that prevailed. It is hoped that large numbers from both sides of the harbour will make this first Public Band Con- cert such a success that the pro- moters may be encouraged to con- tinue the series monthly through out the year.
