'Clorinda" R. Orlando Morgan. This little song is admirably written in obvious imitation of Purcell and the composers of his time. The lyric is also distinctly Elizabethan, and the result is a perfect gem of pure delight, and a welcome change from the modern kind of the compositions.

"The Rose that blossomed in Eden," R Martinez Valls. Des- cribed as an Oriental Valse Serenade, the air of this song has a marked Spanish colouring, and being a serenade, the words are suitably sentimental

"Everywhere I go" Easthope Martin. I consider this one of the best of Easthope Martin's many songs, with an appealing melody, and particularly rich harmonies.

"The Ladies of St. James's." F. H. Cowen. A light daintily written song, which deserves to be popular, but is not of outstanding merit.

"Flow Down, Cold Rivulet," Manlio di Veroll. A laudable attempt to produce descriptive music to match the well known poem of Tennyson, but the effect is not entirely convincing nor pleasing.

OUR DEFENCE CORPS,

MINIATURE RANGE OPENED

BY GOVERNOR.

His Excellency the Governor visited the headquarters of the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps last evening to open the miniature rifle range, which has been built under the parade ground and abuts on Albert Road.

The wedding was chiefly a military one, the service being taken by the Reverend R. I. Northcote, Chaplain to the Forces, and the music being supplied by the string instruments of the King's Regiment Band. After the cera- mony the bridal pair, to the strains of Mendelsohn's Wedding March, passed under an archway formed by the swords of the Officers and Warrant Officers of the King's Regiment.

Their dresses were white georgette and each wore a wreath of pink roses. They carried silver baskets, containing bunches of pink roses tied with silver ribbon.

The bride, who was given away by her father, Mr. A. Denison, was gowned in white georgette, beaded with silver, the train being of Brussels lace, and the veil of while tulle.

Lieutenant C. P. Moore, M.C., of the King's Regiment, attended Captain Cross as " Best Man,"

An axe was used and the injuries were so serious that all had His Excellency, in a brief speech, to, be removed to hospital, said that as the motto of the Corps Apparently, the visitor had call- was "Deeds and not words," ed early in the evening and asked he would say but little.

Summed up, the situation is that Chan's hitherto victorious army has taken fright and retired and that Sun's stock has again revived. It remains to be seen whether his men will take up the offensive and drive their enemy back.

Travellers from Canton yester day reported that the city was quiet and had a normal appearance. Sun's threat of death penalties for the most trivial offences seems to have had the effect of steadying both his civil and military subordinates.
