I notice some pretty picture-postcards with viswa of the Bowrington Canal, Hongkong. The view makes the place look beautiful indeed; so much so that visitors to the Colony would certainly not go away without seeing it. The Bowringtou Canal itself is now in a shock- ing condition, being practically useless. The trouble is that it has not been dredged for ages, sc that really a great part of it is not a canal at all, but a sand-bank. Launches and other small craft would find the canal, were it kept in good order, vory useful,

Hongkong keeps its luxuries near its business centre. If one wishes to discover the worst- lighted and the worst-smelling streets in the city, one has not far to go. The part of Chater!

Tt behores Hongkong people who visit the Fatshan railway to remember the fact that the departure of trains is governed by time which is 15 minutes ahead of our Clock Tower. A party who went up recently found this out by sad experience. They intended to estoh the return train at Fatshan at three o'clock in the afternoon and arrived there with some ten minutes in hand, as they thought, only to see the last carriage disappeariar down the line. They was nothing for it but to strike oat for the river in the hops of getting a launch to take their down to Canton; and they were lieky enough to reach' there just in time to get ou board the last Hongkong steamer to pass the barriers. Could not the railway people adopt Hongkong time?

this filling in particularly things of interest to mariners.

for kindly in return report the officer is given a latest copy of the Taily Press; at all events, he should receive one, and it is bis own fault if he does not, for notics in red to the following effect appears on the form The Daily Press boatman should band the Chief Officer & free paper in return for the report. Non receipt of the paper should be reported to the Daily Press Office." The Daily Press, having the latest weather report from the Hongkong Observatory, and the latest shipping news, etc., should be, found useful by the officers of ships, and we would ask them to try and fill in a few remarke about weather to be expected so that our shipping notes may become more useful to mariners in general. Many officers simply fill in particulars of the vessel and nothing else.
