Na detailed draw ings of the verandah of No. 34 were submitted to the P.W.D. With regard to No. 32, the plan was submitted to and approved by the Governor, but the owner did not sign the necessary agreement regarding the proper tive verandah. That was the reason Mr. Crisp was sent in May to find out whether or not the verandah had been constructed. Witness remembers reading an article in the China Mail in August, 1898, regarding jerry-building in Hongkong, which gave rise to considerable discussion. Before that times there were several collapses, and since then there had been more. Most of these latter, however, were due to the typhoon in last November, witnes thought.
Mr. Bowley-And knowing that fact, why did you approve these plane? The causes of the collapses should be enquired into first before I auswor that question.
Were they not owing to defective building? No, I don't think con
You admit you had discretion in the matter Why did you approve these plan? We could have told the architects we would not approve them until they had opoued up the foundations. Why didn't you do it. We had no orders to do it

In this way the Building of the accident was the idly oil party wall had been allowed to dwindle down to a mere between the two hauses. The addition of a new farce. Mr. Bowley, in conclusion, asked his story, witness had very little doubt, contributed Worship to bring in a verdict, in addition to to the collapse.

Mr. Boyley Would you have thought it necessary to examine the foundation-Well. it would have been a pradent thing to do.
Do you think the carrying on a black. smith's trade would tend to weaken the walls
Light smithy work would not weaken them, so long as there was no machinery attached to the walls in carrying on the work.
Would the operation of taking down a crass- wall and moring staircases have a weakening effort? Well, it would have adisturbing effect on whatever walls the cross wall was connected with.
His Worship-With reference to the adding of stories to houses, we are told that 189 Chinese houses were so raised during the year 1900. That appears to be a very great nam. ber-greater than ever I thought. It means one every second day.
This coueluded the case, and Mr. Bowley proceeded to review the evidence. As he men tioned in re-opening the enquiry, it was quite long flat the deaths of these unfortunate people were caused by the collapse of the houses,
he took it that the object of the enquiry was to find out why the houses collapses. In his opinion they had had overwhelm- ing evidence from several export engineers that the real canse was the faulty cou struction of the party wall between the two houses. That being so, the enquiry really limited itself to the fading out of the cause of the falling of the party wall; and his Worship- would doubtless be of the opinion that its fall was brought about to a very great extent, if not altogether, by the addition of an extra story comprising heavy beams and brick work. There were, perhaps, minor causes, such as the soak- ing of rain into the building and the vibra tion cansed by the work in the blacksmith's
but shop, spito of these Mr. Bowley said he would submit that the inain cause of the col- lapse was the addition of the new story to this old building, which was erected in 1878, and was originally a three-story house. Built, ast houses were in those days, of bluo brick.. it had somehow or other stond the wear nud tear of usage and climate for some twenty- two years. Recently it changed hands, and the purchaser, seeing what was going on every where in the Colony, thenght he would do the same as other house-owners and add another story. Before carrying out his les he took professional opinion as to its feasibility, and

He never thought to look at the foundations, or even to scrape away the whitewash from any part of the walls, and did not even plumb them except with his eye. He did not cut into them to ascertain their solidity-be simply looked at them. Then along came the draughtsman to measure the houses. He spent fifteen minutes of his valuable time there, and took three measurements--breadth, depth, and height of each floor. From riwsa three mea suremente he drew up the elaborate plans that had been produced in Court, eur of them absolutely incorrect in several respects. The time he spent in each house was thirty-five minutes. Then the plans were monde out, omitting some important information that should fave been included. They did not show two old cross walls that bad to come down, and no foundations whatever except to the new wall. The height of the wall itself was cre guess-work in one plan ao staircases were shown at all. These plans were thought to be sufficient to send up to the Public Works Department, where they were given a cursory glance to by that Engineer under the Building Ordinance. They very touch overworked official, the Excentive then went to ibe Medical Officer of Health, whose only doubts were as to the height of the walls in respect of the width of the street. Accordingly an overseer was sent to measure the width of the street to eatisfy the Medical Officer of Health, and the Director of Public Works, or, rather, Mr. Tooker on his behalf, issued a permit for the alterations and additions propos ed. Under the Building Ordinaree Mr. Bondey submitted that the Director of Public Works had absolute discretion in the matter of granthug or refusing permits for additions or alterations to old buildings, yet no one in the Public

A WORD TO CRICKETERS.
The Cricket Ground is open! To the prac tical, downright orickotor (for with the smal, dilletanto priedo cricketer we have no com- merce) this announcement marks the return to winter diet of robust exercies and the annual weaning from a summer diet of oroquet, golf, or lawn tesnis. Whilst it is kopeless to convince a man who has played cricket since he was ten years old that there is any other outdoor game in the world and that other forms of open-air recreation are aught but dippant pastimes, that same man will freakly admit that business worries may Bud safo vent in the exploites of golf, that household cares may be forgotten
and that lawa tennis (even without the ansthe in the glea of wiring your opponent at croquet natised screen) steers many a person clear
of the summer doldrums.
THE LATE PLAGUE EPIDEMIC.
The following is the body of the report by Dr, F. W. Chrk, Medical Officer of Health, on
the half-year ended 34th June, ag pubúshed in the epidemic of plague in the Colony during the Gaselte
Cases. The total number of cases reported
£6 were Europeans and 1,415 were Chinese, the daring the half-year has been 1,488, of which remaining 47 being other Asiaties. A large number of Chinese, however, left the Colony as soon as they felt at all ill, some of whom showed

mistakeable signs of the disones on arrival at
Deaths.-The total number of deaths recorded during the half-year was 1,417, of which 9 were Europeans. 1,376 Chinese, and the remaining 23 other Asiatics. The latter comprised 14 Endians, 9 Parsees, 10 Asiatic Fortuguese, 3 Malaye, 2 Japanese, and 1 Eurasian.
The death-rato among the Europeans was therefore 34.6 per cent, while among the Chinese it was 97.2 per cent.. and among the other Asiatics 68.1 per cent.; the total mortality being 95.2 per cent. This high rate is largely accounted for by the fact that 21.7 per cent. of the Chinese cases were dead bodies found in the Streets or in the Harbour.
The percentage of Chinese admitted to Hospital—was 35.1 per cent, while the per- Hospital including the Tung Walt Branch centage of other Aslaties that went to a ospital The death rate among the was 80.8 per cent. Chinese admitted to Hospital was 88.5 per cont. $7.2 per cent. This ought to convince the as against the goneral Chinese mortality of Chinese-if anything will--that admission to Hospital is to their advantage,
The death-rate during each epidemic has been as follows:→→

By assiduous practice he might attain to medicerity in all pastimes, but he defes the devotees of such pastimes to attain even to mediocrity at cricket.

This may not he Round reasoning, but it is the attitude of the man who appreciates the genius of cricket and has the erickot virus in bis system. It is not an attitude of contempt or of disdain, but of wonderment. How many men having these vital indical and conservative views of oricket are to be found in the Colony to-day? Are there a score of men who don't mind whether they go in first or last, whether they are put on to bowl or not, or where they are placed in the fold? Are there twenty men who will assidu ously and rarefully practice batting, bowling, ́fielding, and catching, determined to do all that they can to accustom themselves to the pace and size of the ground and the peculiar and varying light which obtains on it? It cannot be that there is not this number of disciplined, self-denying cricketers in Hongkong, men ready to strive their best to get into the eleven which will represent the Colony in November next, who will not cavil if the selection committee's choice poes not fall of them, and-will-net-say in alvatica "It's no nee my practising, as I have no
