CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IN HONGKONG.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY PRESS," Hongkong, 15th July. Sik-How much longer will the public have to wait for the Government to take active measures against cruelty by Chinamon to animals, such as was instuuted to your columns only the other day, In my opinion Chinese carringe-drivers should not be allowed the use of the whip under any circumstances, and the vehicles should only by drawn by quimals fit for the purpose. I have no hesitation whatever in saying that the gharry ponies now in use are utterly unfitted to be harnessed to the cumber sowo aifairs known as gharries, in addition to which they are ill-fed and thrashed mercilessly every day of their lives. Such being the case there is no alternative for the authorities but to bring the culprits face to face with rigorons justice; anything else would be a travesty and a hollow mockery of the coramon laws of humanity.Tours, etc.,

No Customs stations have yet been established at Dalay or on the Frontier.
