ITALIAN CONVENT.

THE ANNUAL BAZAAR.

The annual three days' bazaar in connection with the Italian Convent, Caine Road, commenced on Saturday, and, judging by the large attendanes on the opening day, a goodly sum will be realised on behalf of the orphans and invalids who are taken charge of by the Bisters of the Convent. Sach an institu- tion as the Italian Convent is always in need of practical sympathy. In addition to the many pupils, the Convent in Caine Road has undertaken the care of about 300 Chinese orphans, and 40 destitute Chinese wonen. At Wanchai about 200 more orphans are being tended, and at the West Point premises, the sisters deal with about 200 sick Chinese children daily. It is a most laudable work and deserving of every support.

The varied work which is on sale at the bazaar is an eloquent tribute to the manner in which the children are trained at the Convent. The hundreds of articles exhibited for sale are made by the orphan children, and the results are, in many cases, quite remarkable from the point of view of skill and also artistic treatinent.

All the stalls were in the charge of the children under the superintendence of the sisters, and they proved most en tertaining bargain makers.

There were sweet stalls, a lucky well, raffles for large blue-eyed dolla elegantly attired, of both European and Chinese type, a stall containing the most expensive work of the Convent, where one could purchas a variety of useful articles, and, Inst. but by no means least, the souvenir stall, which is always a scene of great industry. Two dollars and one dollar tickets entitle the purchaser to a number. When this is presented at the souvenir stall an article bearing a corresponding number is secured, and, in many cases, the result is highly gratifying to the. purchaser of the ticket, for some really handsomely-worked souvenirs are to be had. There is also a refreshment. buffet. and the boys' band of the St. Lewis Industrial School render entertaining selections,

Early arrivals at the bazaar on Satur day included Lady May and His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government (the Hon. Mr.

Claud Severn), who took a lively interest in the well-laden stalls and also made some. purchases. The compound at the Con- vent is decorated with flags, etc., the former being kindly loaned by Com- modore H, G. Sandemann, who also deputed a detachment of naval meu to carry out the decorations.

Much assistance has been forthcoming from various members of the general public by WAY of donations and gifts, and these will be acknow. Tedged as soon as possible. Today (Monday) will be the Inst day the bazaar, and bargain-hunters may assured of good scope for their business

A Chinese who was banished from Hongkong in December Inst for a period of ten years was found wandering about the Colony or Friday. He was sentenced to six months' hard labour. Inspector O'Sullivan had charge of the case,

AMMUNITION.

Mr. Hazeland imposed a fine of $250, with the alternative of six months' im- prisonment, on a Chinese who was found on the Sze Yap wharf on Friday night with forty rounds of white metal mauser pistol ammunition. The man, who was about to leave for Kongmoon, aroused the suspicions of a policeman. As he was about to be searched the man opened his coat and threw away a slide of ten car tridges. The other ammunition found tied around his thighs;

A Chinese was charged before Mr. Wood with breaking into the office of Mr A. A. Claxton, 4, Des Voeux Road Cen- tral, and stealing a metal cash box value $8, and containing $27.40 and various receipts and papers.

Detective Inspector Sullivan said the man was arrested at Macao, and some of the papers were found in his posses- sion. It appeared that he had been sleep- ing on the premises at 4, Des Voux Road,

The case was adjourned for the tendance of a detective from Macao.

INCLINED TO GET "FUDDLED."

at-

Mr. Hazeland, the Magistrate, is of the opinion that when a cycle bell is sounded Puddenly the best of us are apt to get "fuddled." There is a tendency, he says, to run off at tangent, and, because of

this, he is of the opinion that it is a wise course for a cyclist to endeavour to pass through a narrow opening without ring- ing the bell,

This philosophy was forthcoming in a case in which a Chinese of Yaumati was charged in connection with the knocking down of a Chinese lady, with "lily" feet, as a result of which she sustained &fractured arm. It was stated that the defendant had no light on his machine, that he did not ring his bell, and attempted to pass between the complain- ant and her companion, with the result Htated.

The Magistrate, after expressing the opinion given above, ordered the cyclist to pay $50 compensation and also a fine of 85 for riding without a light.

The Gunners would have done much better if they had fed their wings more, instead of kicking straight up the field, where Coxon pounced on the ball and promptly returned it. The R.E. were not by any means out of the huut, and frequently broke away and looked like scoring. White made a point of always keeping well up into the Gunners' half, and was always dangerous.
