The programme was nót, perhaps, as classical might have been, or as some of us could as it have wished it. I suppose we must not grumble, however, but be thankful for small mercies. One fault which I have noticed with professionals generally who come to the East is that they too often endeavour to play down to their audiences as much as possible. This is a mistake. They should give us only their highest art and nothing Opproaching, even in the remotest degree, to fireworks. If the audience is unable to fully appreciate "good music, why, much the worse for the audience, that is all, I not so many years ago (bat = St. James's Hall audience. was unable tos out Beethoven programme. Slace then, thanks to Charles Halle sed * few other pioneers, musical art has made great striden la England. But it was not by playing down to their audiences that they raised the standard of taste. However, on this occasion there was nothing to complain of as regards the audience, whose culture, if it is to be judged by Its enthusiasm, must fedeed have been of an excep tionally high arder, although it must reluctantly be admitted that the "Souvenir de Faust" was received with twice as great applause as the *Moonlight Sonate" and "La Réveil du Lion” with more than the two pot ̈tögether.” Bot tál was perhaps due to the gradually increasing

artistic excilement.

Suffice it to say, then, that musical art has been given an Impetus in Canton which should last on for at least a decade. A Renaissance has dawned upon us; the strains of a myriad Instruments may be heard as one stralls along the Band Music, more, perhaps, then any of the Blater arts, requires a constant stimules to keep It up to the mark, and this is not very surprising when we relect how many years of Careful culture it requires to develop a pare tiate. When, alas! the only music of the country In which one lives is the squeak of a Chloene fiddle, or the falsetto volca of a musical-or rather anmusica-beatben, it is not to be wond red at If peoples' taste is apt to get a little confused and degenerate in spite of an effort to the contrary.

This lady, who must take' first rank with the amateurs of the East, possesses a fine, well-trained contralto voice, which was heard to great advantage "Nymphe and Fauns" and "Creole Love Song.

Both of these artistes received repeated encores, to which they cordially responded, and in fact even had there been no De Kontski many of as would have been quite content with their efforts alone.

THE TRANS-Pacific CABLE...

BIR AUDLEY COOTE INTERVIEWED. Among the files of San Francisco papers received by the Gail'e a day or two ago is a copy of the Call of 17th September containing the following Interesting information respectlog the vigorous efforts now being put forth to induce the United States Government to 'take a head' in the great and long-talked-of project to connect the continents of Australasia and Americs by wire, The purely local interest which we havṛ in the enterprise is derived from the possibility, long ago mooted in this and other Eastern journals, of connecting Hongkong, by branch cable, with the main iine and thereby bringing

about opposition to the Great Northern and other companier that would be fairly certain to result in a reduction in the Eastern cubio rates and which would be welcomed by European merchants and traders generally.

It may be of laterest to relate that while we were laying the cable between Bunderburg and Goman, we discovered some goo miles out a range of sabmarine mountains, whose topmost peak was some 163 fathoms beneath the ocean's surface. It was also found that they averaged something like 7,500 feet high. After locating the mountain, we laid the cable around its side, fast as you would around an ordinary hill,"

Sir Andiey Coola is the original projector of this trans-Pacific cable, and to his individual interest and efforts in dus much of the present success of the company backing the scheme. Six Audley was to spend reverai weeks in San Francisco, visiting in the meantime the principal points of Interest In the Interior.

THE INTER-COLONIAL RIFLE MATCH.

SINGAPORE, October 24th, A prelimlasty meeting of those who have taken part with previous Singapore rifle teams in this match was held yesterday afternoon at the S.V.A. Headquarters, to consider the arrange- ments for practice for the approachlag match.

There were present Lient. St. Clair, S.V.A., Capt. Singapore team) Lleat. Merewether, S.V.A. Sgt. Woodward, R.E.; Sgt. Brinkworth, SVA, Sgt. Monison, S.V.A., Gauner Maw, S.V.A, and Gunner Lawson, S.VA. Several military and other members were unavoidably absent.

A stalement was made by Sgt. G. Brinkworth explaining the tenor of correspondence with Hongkong as to the date of the match, and it was decided that the team to represent Singapore should, if possible, use the same weapon

ongkong and Shanghai, who are to fire with the Lee-Metford.

L. St. Clair stated that reference had been already made to Major Compton, D.AA.G, regarding the temporary larve of a few Lea- Metford rides. The application would be laid before the G. O, C., on his return from Penang which would be on Thursd y or Friday. If this were favourably considered it might be possible to have the rifles in the hands of candidates not already using the Les-Metford, would give a clear four weeks for practice. The as early as the beginning the week. This method of issue would probably be through the Staff Shooting Club, the team getting eight out of the twenty rifles to be issued to the Club.

Farther arrangements for selection of the team would depend upon the reply of the military authorities to the application. It was agreed that, slibough a bandicap might be conceded to the Martini-Henry rifle, every effort should be made to get a representative team prepared to fire with the Lee-Metford throughout.-Fri

Press

The Straits 2imer of 24th states the Inter. port Rifle match will be shot for by Singapore, Hongkong, snd Shanghai on any day between November 25th and December 9th. It will be remembered that a misunderstanding and the going astray of an important letter from Hong- Kong to Shanghai favalidated the firing for this annual contest during May. The principal difficulty now is that all the teams should fire with the Lee-Melford ride and not, as hereto. fore, with the Martial-Henry, Shanghai has already adopted this weapon and Hongkong is also better suited by using the Lee-Metford.
