THY agitation against the appointment of Mr. Reonic as Acting Assistant Harbour Master is waste of breath, as the berth is utterly superfluous and any coolle can fill it. The office should be abolished. Mr. Rumsey will be back next week. PREPARATIONS for the tug-of-war in Woody car's Circus are going on apace. For some reason the police are ordered not to compete probably because they have such a lot of work to do bunting for Yo Sul Wan. The show will be a good one all the same.
