HONGKONG JOTTINGS.
This is not the time of year when the public expect water famines, but it has to be recorded that the residents on the level above Robinson Road were without water from Thurs. day night to Saturday morning, due I suppose to work proceeding somewhere on the mains. In most well-ordered communities the Water Authority, when it contemplates inconvenien- cing the public in this way, gives a polite
intimation to the householders of the date on

THE SUDBORIPTION GRIFFINS.

On Saturday morning a good many of the bscription griffins were taken oat for a mile One of them showing particularly cantor. good style over the distance was. Mr. W. A. Cruickshank's black pony. The pisk of the bunch so far is said to be Mr. H. N. Mody's bay. This pony, however, has done very little work so far, but on Saturday morning Sir Paul Chater allowed him to more about 300 yards,

The interest taken in this royal game has probably been given an impetus by the arrival of the Interport cricketers. There were no fewer than five games being played at Happy Valley on Saturday, threo of which were League matches,

REVIEWS.
The Book Lover. By JAMES BALDWIN. Revised (14th) edition,, 2/6. London: G. P. Putnam's Sons. Hongkong: Kelly & Walsh. This well-known essay, which professas to be
that unsatisfactory thing, "a guide to the best reading,” was in this alition a very attractive shapo. A great deal that Mr. Baldwin says (in quotation) is sound and safe, and it is ocident: that, as he claims, "book love has ever been (hist) passion." It is the very thing for prige and

sease, so that they are able to make due pro vision. Perhaps one of the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council will kindly inquire why this cannot be done in Hongkong. While
we have a Sanitary Department opending money lavishly in a laudable effort to obsinte epidemics, the Water Authority by want of a little foresight fosters typhoid, for when ser- vants find the water supply cut off they his with buckets to the streams on the hillside and bring home water for potable and other purposes which to say the louxt is not as pure as it might to Besides, the "powers that be" should have some thought for the morals of the community. When a man gets up in the morning and his Celestial greets him in the bathroom "with a finger pointing to an empty tub and the words
No got water" on his lips, an avalanche of words is apt to fall iko Java frem a volcano, until someone within earshot breaks in, as the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table ased to do in
liko sircumstances, and says" Hash! What will the Divinity Student say?" Verily the
P.W.D. have much to answer for.
Thore is great jubilation in Macao ever the confirmation of the railway concession, just as there was in Hongkong when the Chinovo Government granted the concession for a line from Kowloon to Canton. Six years have bean lopped off the span of my natural life since I first revelled in the prospect of a railway ride from Kowloon to Canton, and I haven't been able to procure my ticket yot. It may be hoped that the Chinese-Portaguose syndicate will not emulate the masterly insetivity of the British and Chinese Corporation. But 1"hae me doots,"
The terms of the agreement do not form very attractive reading for prospective Portuguese investors. The Chinese Government is to get 30 per cent. of the profits if they exceed 6 per cent, on the capital after placing 3 per cont. to credit of sinking fund, and at the end of fifty years the property is to be handed over to the Chinese Government without any Indemnity to the Company if the capital invested is fully redeemed by the sinking fund; # дой the Chinese Government will pay only so much as is no coasary to bring the amount of the sinking fund up le amount of the invested capital. One clause precludes the Portuguess Government from interforing with the affairs of the Company under any pretort whatever, while another provides for a final reference of disputes to the Chinese High Authorities and the Minister of Portugal at Poking. It is altogether a curione agreement Take Clause III. The capital, it is declared, will be subscribed in equal proportions by Portuguese and Chinese subjects, and in the administration Chinese and Portuguese skoré kolders must have equal rights. But Portu guero shareholders are to include "Chinese merchents residing at Macao and Chinese merchants naturalised as foreign subjects.

The Heathen Chines is peculiar. The Portuguese negotiators appear to have been completely outwitted. That railway wight become an entirely Chinese concern in five yours, or for the matter of that from the very start if "Chinese merchants rosiding at Macao" are to be recognised as Portagnese shareholders.
No, Angelins: I should be venturing out of my depth if I were to attempt to describe the feminine or even masculino modes worn during this guy and giddy week just past.. You re member the incident in Gilbert's opera •The Princese, when Blanche, speaking of those masked and masculine girls in the Coilage.
declares to Melissa:
I placed before their oyrs Some Cluny Ince they called it Valencieungs— Honning is stitching---o at least they s. y— A gusset is a gure-a hick's a flounce- Merino's cotton-linen's calico Poplin in silk and rep is corduroy! This, Angolina, must be unto all men wursing. Besides, though many years have passed, retain a torturing recollection of the consequences of a lapus calami in one of my first essays in journalism wherein I unwittingly declared that a lady at a social function wore cretonne instead of crépon! My knowledge of the subject has not greatly improved in the years which have since rolled by. I have, in trab, avoided the subject as being one of thesa things that no man can ever hope to understand, and su pray theo have me excised from a dissertation on the subject.. I um better anused by listening to the comments of Indies on others' efforts.
I did last week, at the instigation of a friend, venture to make a suggestion that the practice of wearing hats at such gatherings as the practice dances in St. George's Hall for the fort coming ball in honour of St. Andrew was an inconvenience alike to the ladies and their
partners. I was convicted of rugimess at once. This will explain:
You appear to forget, my dear Banyan, that ladies' rullinery will not stand the oreshing in a okoak rouu that men's hats get-Yours, LADY-IN-WAITING ́ ́TO THE GODDESS

You see, my untrained intellect never presented this aspect of the question. I have some more of the same purport, but if these lettera are piled one on the other, I perceive that I too may be crushed,

Vengeance: Marchant, goal; Deris and Brown, backs; Morris, Plummer and Commisk, halves; Kaywood, Gilbert, Burness: Revel and Enaton, forwards.
This match was without doubt the event of the day. The teams were in good fottle, and
from the bounce of the hell, went at it in oarnest, During the game two soldiers were winded, but were soon up and on the ball again.
The first half concluded without score, but in the second Burness succeeded in patting the ball through the posts for the Noval team. The soldiers had several shots, but were unsuccessful. Both teama showed signs of fatigne in the end of the second half and a considerable mimber of players could do nothing more than Kick the ball if it happened to come their way.
