"THE BELLE OF NEW YORK." Hongkong residents have read much about the phenomenal success which has attended The Bells of New York at home, but until the visit of Pollard's Lilliputian Company they had not had the opportunity of witnessing in this part of the world, it being performed for the first time in Hongkong at the City Hall last night. The Belle of New York was the Avenue Theatre, Londen, having a con tinuous run of close on four years. It was rat performed by the Pollard's Company at Johannesburg in May, 1889, when it had a rau of Bre weeks. Other places in South Africa were visited, including Pretoria, where Ooin Paul was among the auditors. Since then the company hare delighted lage audiences in In- dia, Java, and Australis.
