That most of the ladies and gentlemen forming the combination are capable of pleasantly rendering the ordinary class of concert room music must be readily admitted, but with the exception perhaps of Miss Hare and Mr. Imano, there is not one of them whose vocalisation has yet soared about the dull level of amateur mediocrity. And we cannot say that we are greatly surprised, having known so many clever and successful operatic, opera bouffe and burlesque artists who were comparative fallures when facing the music of the concert room in the conventional garb of modern society.

HERE is a chunk of news from the San Francisco Chronicle. You very often hear people wonder why men in business in Chinn rarely learn Chi- nese. They all use "pidgin English." It is not altogether because the language is so hard to learn. It is a good deal because somehow the Chinese don't like to do business with foreigners who speak Chinese. Chinamen like to discuss pro and con a purchase before the foreigner, and they seem to think that a knowledge of the language proves him a sharper business man and harder to deal with. It is pretty much the same feeling that makes the foreigner in China object to a Christian Chinaman as a servant. He knows too much, and is doubly distrusted if he is a professed convert.

appreciated by the audience. Mr. Whiffen Cripps, who possesses a very agreeable voice, ang "Farewell for ever" with considerable effect, which was somewhat marred by the singer's stiff attitude. In a duet from "Don Giovanni" Miss Hare and Mr. Imana were only moderately successful, although their voices blended well together, and then Mr. Fisher gave a tricky rendering of "The Anchor's Weighed," doing himself anything but justice. Miss Hare was heard to better advantage in "Kathleen Mavour- neen," and in response to an encore sang that old favorite, "Cherry Ripe." This lady sings with great taste and her execution is facile and graceful; but her voice, a rather light and shrill soprano, is lacking in volume. Mr. Imano's "The Bedouin's Love Song."

THE Shanghai Pilotage case, on a re-hearing, has been decided against the plaintiff, a badly advised pilot who took such a trumpery matter a second time into the Supreme Court of the Model Settlement. It may be remembered that the plaintiff, a licensed Shanghai pilot, made an attempt to board the British steamer Glenfrain during the night in the early part of July, while the steamer was on her passage from this port to the terminus of her voyage-Shanghai. The defendant was the master of the Glenfruin, Captain Norman, who had an old pilot on board named Campbell, coming out as a passenger from London and who bad, previous to his going home on leave, always piloted the "Glen" Steamers on the Shanghai River. But on the night of the 2nd July last, Captain Norman, who had arrived in pilotage waters, was looking for Mr. Brand, and had that well-known pilot's private signal exhibited, when the plaintiff hove in sight, and made his own private signal-white light which be contended was answered by the Gler fruin on two different occasions, and which in consequence induced him to think that he was wanted, and so he went below to change his dress, and embarked in his small punt, in order to get on board the steamer. On approaching the Glen fruin be was hailed by Captain Norman, who wanted to know if "that was Brand," but did
