The defendant was crossed ex- amined at great length by Mr. Fraser who took him over the various transactions mentioned in his charge. When Mr. Fraser had completed his questions, the Chief Justice asked: You have been self- ing brandy for some time?

Defendant: Yes.'

His Lordship: Have you a license. . Defendant: As far as I know "there was no need for license be- cause these brandy were taken

from bond.

Had you any license to deal in brandy from the Import and Ex port Omce? No, but I understood Li Shan Chee made application for one.

On behalf of the Standard Store? -Yes.

The second course of his evidence stated that he was getting a salary of $75 a month. With regard to the tickets for Canton, he said that he was to have proceeded there with a friend in connection with the en- gaging of a Compradore. He did not know where his friend was

It is interesting to read the news received from Canton dur- ing the weak that there are over 5,000 push bicycles in that city' and that, with the exception of a very small percentage, they were all of British manufacture. Iri Hong Kong in spite of the growth of motor trame, the bicycle ap- pears to be growing' in popularity, and whereas some ten years ago there were only two bleycle shops in Wanchal to-day there must be dozens, It will be interesting to know how the British bicycle la faring here. From the fact that a new machine can be procured at a little over $20, the indications are that Japanese manufactured "bikes" are being sold here side by side with the British article.

A GOOD IDŻA,

In conversatioit with a chess enthusiast the other day, we came to talking about the struggle for the world's chess championship between Dr. Alekhine and Bugul-ing cargo to Hong Kong!

IMPEDING TRAFFIC

Several Chinese motor car dri vers were sumufioned before Mr. Wynne-Jones at Kowloon Magis- tracy yesterday for parking their cars at bus-stops. Inspector Saun- ders told his Worship that some car drivers in Kowloon had an an- noying habit of parking their cars in such a way, with the result that the buses had to draw up in the middle of the road

His Worship imposed a caution in each case, stating that a fine would be inflicted in future.
