During the progress of dinner, which, by the way, was unusually, well served, a company of Chinese actors-said to be about the best in the Empire-performed various well known and popular dramatic scenes sketches for the amusement and entertainment of the guests. The Committee, with much forethought, had provided the following translations of the arguments in these comedies ---

the very fine display at the Victoria Hotel, and a few gas-stars here and there, the rest of the Praya illuminations were wide-sp cad. Looking higher, the host of lanterns which covered the walls of the Gaol and Central Police Station glowed brightest, but the display lacked that ingenuity which marked the show made at the R. A. Mess, higher up. There, an enormous field-gun, with carriage, rammer, &c., abone out without a twinkie, and attracted general admira. tion. The mansions in Queen's Gardens showed prominently, and added a good deal to the tableau.
reason
Witness thought for a while, and on being pressed replied-1 don't remember, I've had several interviews with my soliciton.
Mr. Drummond desired to cross-examine witness upon his evidence in chief.
Mr. Francis objected, wishing, he said, to " save a lot of bother."
His Lordship over-ruled the objection.
Mr. Drummond recalled the witness auention
to the fact that he said in his examination in chief that the changing of the course was a mere coincidence."

About a minute afterwards she struck us, nearly at right angles, on our star board side, near the fore rigging. We starboarded before she parted. "What is that fellow porting for; he'll be into us ? said the chief officer to me shortly before collision.. When she collided with us I heard shouts under the bow, and saw a junk hanging on our stem by some of the light work astern. I noticed two men on her. The junks were standing across towards Kowloon."
Cross-examined :-We had two men on look out at the forecastle besides the chief officer and myself. They were Malay. As soon as the Kungpai blew her whistle once I observed her porting. No one told the Captain about the position of the Kungpai after she blew the whistle once. I didn't think it my duty to give special warning to the captain, although I saw collision was inevitable.. I don't think the junks were close hauled. They were about three points free. I can't say whether they changed their course. I have been six years in the P. and 0. service, and the rule of the road is to pass port to port.

Corroborative evidence was given by the officers and chief engineer, and the Court adjourned until Saturday.
