THE PEAK TRAMWAY PROPOSED ALTERATIONS.

For months past it has been public knowledge that considerable alteratioas were to be made on the Peak Tranwas line this winter, and, recently, there has. been much speculation as to when the work will coarsence and for how long the ordinary service will be interrupted. Naturally, the question is one of some. importance to Peak residents, especially to those who are accustomed to go home for talin.

According to the eontruct, the work It is should have been begun yesterday. expected to take five months to complets, but the preliminary part, which will occupy roughly six weeks, will not in- as at present. The changed service, con- terfere with the running of the trams sequently, will not come into operation

Mr. Loos, has sprung a bombshell into the local Press world by his announcement that it is contempt of court to publish any pleadings or evidence in a pending case antil decided. Whether it is right or not in law we do not know, observes our contemporary, and do not care, but we think that if any attempt was made to interfere with the legitimate liberty of the Press in this direction, either bere or in England, a very considerable guise would be heart.

It is understood that the Hongkong Jockey Club. at a meeting held yesterday, decided to erect for concrete stands round the Race Course at Happy Valley for next year's meeting.

THE CRUMBLING QUADRU- PLICE Taɛ retention of a considerable Allied force at Salonika has been the subject of a great deal of adverse criticism by a certain school of military thought, which urged that the dispatch of expeditions to distaat theatres unnecessarily in- creased the strain upon our shipping and reduced our strength on the Westera Front, where alone a decisive result of the war could be expected.
