Six-For some years, this Colony has had the reputation of being apathetic towards Music, and many of the distinguished artists who have performed here, have had exceedingly bad houses." Some- times the notice has been so short that many people have been booked for other engagements; at other times the advertising has been in adequate or the artist has not been sufficiently well-known to attract attention.

A Society has now been formed, called the Hong Kong Musicai Society, the object of which is to **Will the Head of the Sani-stimulate interest in music and to tary Department inform the Board | give out by post information about whether steps Are being con- recitals, etc., as soon as dates are tiquously taken towards the prob fixed, to ensure a good attendance. lem of Malaria : Prevention and Elimination?

No Hasty Steps! Dr. Koch: As presumably, the authorities are in possession of the report by Surg. Commdr.

I should like to emphasize that the Society will have no financial interest in any of the concerts to which it lends its support. There is no subscription, but members age expected to make every endeavour to come to good concerts.

To make this veature a success, it is necessary to have the names and addresses of everyone in the Colony who would like to receive the notices of concerts and I should appreciate it if you would. allow me to appeal through your columns for the sup port of those interested.-Yours faithfully,
