HONGKONG JOTTINGS,

During the past week there has been a notionable, and mest appreciable, change in the weather. Old Sol has shown himself on thron days, and these days, by his wise dispensation, were the first of the Easter holidays. In consequence, business in certain directions became abnormally brisk, and the Peak tramway and the Kowloon ferries had somewhat of difficulty in coping with the extra holiday trafic. The Peak ears were so fall that large numbers were disappointed about hiding seats, and several took jannte into Kowloon Chinatown instead. But, better than all-the pleasant change enabled the sojourners here in this Colony to dot, even if only for a while, their heavy rain, mist, and damp-resisting garments, and don light summer clothing and so deceive themselves into a Betitious belief that "the spring is hore." The Chinese are predicting that there is more unpleasant weather coming, but all I can say is, long may it be delayed, for we have had epongh of it for the present,

In a very little while the new tramways will begin ruaning. At the depot at Bowrington Canal great activity is being shown in the preparation of the plant. Many of the cars Love bean constructed. They are very handsome carriages, roomy, well lighted and vontilated. By the way, the coming of the tramways is calenlated to do away with the

THE PRAYA BECLAMATION.

As tho Prays Reclamation Works have now practically reached completion the Director of Public Works in his annual report gives the following account of their origin and progress

The Pruya Reclamation Works were initiated by Sir C. P. Chater, and have been carried out under the Praya Reclamation Ordinanes, No. 16 of 1889. Prior to the passing of this Ordinance, reolanations of limited extent at West Point in front of the Sailors' Home and the Wharf and Godown Company's property (Marine Lots 85 and 105) wuro sanctioned, but, as these fell within the limits of the main scheme, they were subsequently carried out in conjunction with it. A comidorable quantity of rublile stone for the foundations of the sea. wall for those roclamations had been deposited before the main scheme was undertaken and, as the now reclamation projected somewhat farther into the harbour, it was necessary to widen the mound so formed in order to bring the wall into alignment.

The reclamation extends from the boundary of the Naval Yard Extension westwards to a point opposite Marine Lot 181, à distance of nearly 2 miles, the total area reclaimodfrom the ses being approximately 65 acres, made up as follows: Prays Reclamation under Ordin-

Another canso of delay was the period of Revere depression and scarcity of money which was experienced in 1892, when doubts arese as to whether the Marine Let-owners could fulfil their obligations in providing the funds necessary for the completion of the authorised works. The letting of now contracts was postponed until it was decided that the schome was to be gone on with and carried to comple- tion, and, before this decision was arrived at, a season's low tides were lost, causing practically

According to the original programme, the Reclamation was to be commenced simultaneous 59 neres.
