ENTERTAINMENTS.

It is obvious that this talk of foreigners directing Chan is only an attempt to befool the populace, Sun Yat-sen would have the people believe that Chan is a traitor, that the Volunteers have nearly been led to betray the country. Not satisfied with saying this, he must needs produce proof. What better proof of a conspiracy could he have than, to discover that! wicked foreigners have a hand in

paganda, his charge against "certain foreignera" a clumsy trick. Possibly he may succeed in duping the Canton masses with these wiles, but something much more definite will be required as evidence before thinking people will accept his vague statement that certain foreigners have been implicated in an "audacious plot" to overthrow the Government. The present proofs are too fanciful altogether.

The master of the "Moonraker" was mulcted in a similar amount for failing to carry a certified engineer.

Tang Fu and Chang, Tung charged with obstruction near Blake Pier, on August 9, by the manner in which they had moored their motor boats, were acquitted. The Magistrate remarked that the principal witness for the prosecu- tion, P. C. Wong Kwok-tsoi, had given his evidence in a most unsatisfactory manner.

HISTORY OF CASE,

It has been rranged to hold the annual distribution of diplomas at the Medical College in Sepoy Lines on Tuesday, July 29, and invitations had been issued to many well-known residents and members of the medical profession, and the Colonial Secretary was

to have Somo- prosented the diplomas. thing, however, happened shortly before the ceremony,, and the Singapore papers were informed that "the ceremony had been post- poned," which was taken to mean the presentation of diplomas. Later it appeared that the najority of the students decided for some reason or other to boy- cutt the annual ceremony. About 150 of the students, taking um- rage at the cancellation of one of their customary end of the term privileges, as a result of a report of misbehavior on someone's part, decided to bycott the prize-giving. and instead of making their way to the venue of the function spent their afternoon elsewhere. Suf- ficient notice of the intended action was received to allow of the prize distribution being postponed.

Bubsequently the students, who took part in the boycott, signed an apology which was posted on the College notice board."

An enquiry into the matter was the Government offices, held at conducted by Mr. M. B. Shelley and Mr. Tan Soo-bin, members of The the Council of the College. Principal, Dr. A. H. Macalister, the janitor, Mr. Street, and the students, were invited to attend.

The origin of the strike was due to some alleged grievances of the students with regard to disciplinary measures, following a Students" "Reg
