MARRIED, SINGLE. "Is marriage a fullure?". Julged by the result of the match played on Saturday fast it would appear that, from erleket point of view, at any rate, this much discred question must emphatically be answered in the affirma- tive, for the married men were hopelessly out of it from the start and at no time looked to be in it with their less reputable brethren; indeed, seldom on the Hongkong Cricket Club ground us a side nebised such a hollow, victory na that gained by the Bachelors. It is difficult to account for this result, fer "on Papor" the Benedicts uppeared to have the The new.

AN ABBENAL IN KWANGSI.
So Yun Chow, the military couraander-in- ckiof in the province of Kwengi, obtained permission from the Imperial Govormuent to establish an arsenal there for the making of ammonition, and also a mint for toiuing dollars at Lusgehow, A large quantity of macbiuery And unmbers of workmen were teat from Cauton, Arnis are being mannfuctured, but the mint has stopped work and some workmen have returned to Canton,
AN OFFICIAL MONOPOLY. With regard to the tax which is to be imposed upon the unfortunate girls a shore as well as in the flower boats, it is now said that the officials have entertailed a favourable view of it, all it will soon be an accomplished fact. Instead of giving the monopoly to Cheung Ching In and others who have applied for it, the officials are going to take it, so as to prevent the kidnap. ping or ill-fr: atment of these girls.
PIRATES.
As gual just about the end of the year, picacy on the Canton river is bolder and fiercer than ever
The military commander cnonet find means to check it; so thồ gentry of the Enst river have recommended to him on Chau Chi-yenug as a man. well suited to the task of catching pirates, and one whe knows where to find them. He is to take command of two cruisers, with forty braves on each, and is to give double pay to the men as a stimulant for them to catch pirates...
А СНАВАСТЕК.
As stated above, Fawcett wen the toss and dociled that his side should talco first innings, Lizon and Powell--wero the first- pair of bowlors and were not long in finding their way to the wickets of their opponents. Disaster followed disaster with surprising rogalarity and, with the exception of Fawcott and Forbes, none of the Benedicts made double figures. Powell was mainly respon sible for this state of things, and throughout bowled with considerable skill and judgement, Fawcett's 31 was a well-played innings end Forbes hit hard for bis 28. Dixon bowled well
but did not have the best of luck, as severaj catches were misssed off him-actably an easy ons at short leg by Turner, who seems to be

There is a coal-mine in the hill of Ngao Keng in the district of Lungmun. Kwongloog, which produces pretty good coal, and a company, under the name of Yu Cheung, has been forened by permission of the Vicurdy to work at it. Liberty is given to the natives of that legality to dig for the coals, but whatever quantity they have taken they must first offer to the Com. pany, which is thon to fix the price and pay thom-an cenomical arrangement.

Few dwellers on the China Coăut, we imagine, have not, at one time or other come under the charm of Mr. Bland's occasional writings. The finite of his profile pan. have appeared in a variety of papers, some in the Battle. some in the North China Daily News and others in the home Press; wherever given to the public they have been valued no less fortbair ripe flavour of Far Eastern life than for the intrinsic merit which is theirs, for the true grasp which the author has of the significance of things in the conflict and intercourse of the Oriental with the Caucasian.

The Intrusions of Peggy. By ANTHONY HOPE London and Bombay, George Bull & Sons, THIS latest work of Mr. Hawkins is one of the most delightful books to read that we have chanced across for a long time. It is full of the indefinable charm which characterises all that falls from the pen of this author. The plot is clever, the dialogues splendid. feggy is s Bohomian. Indeed Peggy may be taken as an impersonation of the Bohemianism which casts a flitting reflection of its if upon the Society life of Loaden. She is fittingly intruded into the story rather than introduced. Her exit is no less unconventional. And so fine and womanly a nature is Peg that the reader 'falls in love with her at Ifrat sequriblance. As a foil to her sterling character we are presented to Tie Trevalla, a woman of the world, lacking nothing in the qualities that induce estimation in the eyes of the world but something in those which are part of Peggs's ostale. In the play of these two characters upon each other ties the principal interest in the story. But besides these there are many other excellent studies in human mature: sad the result on the whole is a book with a most entertaining plot combined with all the grace-
