SINGAPORE, July 3rd. Speaking at the Victoria Theatre yesterday afternoon, on the Unity of Man before, perhaps, the largest auchence that had mustered within its precincts, Dr. Rabindranath Tagore stressed the right and privilege of India to think with the thinkers of the world.

GARDENS.

BANDSMAN BURNS AGA IN OBLIGES,

It would be unfair to say that any programme that has been supplied by the Band of the 1st Battalion, the Cameronians at Lee Gardens has been better than another, for they have all been excellent. The programme of the 5th promenade concert at the Gardens on Saturday night was, however, extraordinarily. well balanced, and delightful to all music lovers. There seemed to be just the right amount of the classical nurobers and light" opera, with the right leavening of dance' music and musical comedy. The programme was quite as much enjoy- ed as any that have been given in the last five weeks, and every numi- ber was very warmly applauded. -

As announced last week, the con- cert began at nine o'clock, à number

of patrons having intimated that 9.30 seemed to be too late for the start. Unfortunately, advertise-
