The hotels are enormous and most luxurious. The "palace" where || stayed at Copacabana had its own theatre and casino, and a large galleried ball-room. In the Chinese restaurant, with it illuminated glass dancing floor, the tables were a muse of orchids, and expensive souvenirs were given away nightly to the guests.

"What you got?" said the picket. "Fish," snapped the lorry driver. "Any chips?" asked the picket politely.

Then they held a short cuueerie, on the ethics of striking, and the prospects of Birmingham in the Cup Final. A jolly policeman join- ed them and they had a charming little chat.

"Ah, well," said the lorry driver, "must get on."

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

local

The end of a long-drawn-out legal dispute was arrived at during the week, when the Equitable Eastern Banking Corporation withdrew from the case in which a Chinese sought redemption of certain securities deposited against an overdraft. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives a complete record of the hearings, during which it was stated that amounts totalling $360,000 had been credited to plaintiff in error. The bank sought to justify the reversal of these entries. Their case fell through when it was dis- covered at the last moment before the first hearing that their most essential witness had disappeared.

In the Legislative Council, the new figure (17 per cent.) payable as rates on assessment of tenements was made uniform throughout the Colony. Certain allowances were made in cases where a complete Government water supply was not available. It was explained that the Government considered this a more equitable manner of taxation than had prevailed hitherto. A full account appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

**

Considerable discussion followed the introduction of a vote before the Finance Committee of a sum of over $8,000 for resumption of land belonging to the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling. A proppsal to take over the land, then lease it back to the Golf Club at interest of 4% per cent, per annum was strongly opposed by the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, who considered that the rights of the public were being interfered with. The motion was passed with one dissentient. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL reports the dis. cussion in full.

At an Investiture Ceremony during the week, H.E. the Governor, decorated Mr. E. W. Carpenter with the Order of the British Empire, Miss N. E. James (superintendent nurse at the Royal Naval Hospital), with the order of the Royal Red Cross, Second Class, as well as presenting four Chinese with Certificates of Honour. The Certificates were the first to be presented in the Colony. The Investi. ture is described in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

An instructive address by the Rev. Father G. Byrne, S.J., on "Our Emotional Life," given before the Rotary Club, is also reported in detail in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Groundings of steamers, happily not of a serious nature, are also reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. The ships concerned were the ss. President Cleveland and Taiping, and it is thought the mishaps were due to fog.
