A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

The water shortage question is still causing the authorities much anxiety. Unable to obtain their supply of water from the street fountains during the prescribed hours, owing to the great rush, some Chinese resorted to stealing water from a cistern in a publie latrine. There was a Police Court sequel, when four Chinese men were charged. A full report on the shortage, together with local residents' views in favour of artesian wells, is published in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Stirring tribute was paid in Hong Kong to the late President Doumer on May 12, when the Requiem Mass and the funeral rites took place in St. Joseph's Church, Garden Road. There was a representative congregation present, which included H.E. the Officer Administering the Govern ment (the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G.), Vice-Admiral Herr and the French Consul-General M. Dufaure de la Prade. H.E. Bishop Valtorta preached the sermon. A report of the solemn occasion is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Captain Bruce Bairnafather, the famous cartoonist and creator of "Old Bill, visited Hong Kong on board the N.Y.E. steamer Suwa Maru on May 14. He was accompanied by his wife, and they are on a journey to Europe. The famed cartoonist expressed the view that the sampan population In Hong Kong would make interesting reading, and to him they had been a source of great amazement. An interesting talk with Capt. Bairnsfather is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The Indian Recreation Club had a field day on May 14, when their second annual athletic meeting was held in glorious weather, though a bit on the warm side. There was a large attendance, among whom were Mr. R. E. Lindsell (President of the Hong Kong Lawn Tennis Association) and Mrs. Lindsell, and Mr. A. el Arculli (President of the LR.C.).

The flag-bedecked Clubhouse added much to the galety of the afternoon's function which is reported in the OVERLAND CHINA, MAIL.

**Small fields and a smaller crowd of supporters than usual somewhat detracted from the day's sport at the Sixth Extra Race Meeting, held at Happy Valley on May 14.

Cash sweeps suffered noticeably by the absence of many spectators, and nothing startling in the matter of dividenda was returned. The highest price of the day (856.80) was paid by Valeta in the eighth race. The meeting is reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
