KOWLOON HOTEL,

(112

THIS Hotel is situated in a quiet locality, away from the din and disturbance of the City, and, surrounded by a delightful garden, it is an ideal place of residence. The building stands on an eminence, giving a magnificent view of the Harbour and the City of Victoria. It is within easy access of the Kowloon wharves, where the principal mail steamers disembark passengers, and from which there is a regular ferry service to Hongkong.

Bowling Alleys and Billiards. The Cuisine is excellent.
