Among the many other good things we noticed a fine show of the Australian Pineapple brand of hams which are selling very readily. All the English delicacies of Hustley and Palmer and Crosse and Blackwell are on sale, and in preserves and condiments, especially Indian pickles, sauces and chutneys Mr. Fatlonjee has an sasariment of which he justly proud. Delicacies for dessext, such as dited fruits, nuts etc., are on hand and newly stocked for Christmas. For the children there is such a display of choice French sweets and crystallised frulie, Engilah awents and toffees, and Tom Smith's and Baiger's crackers as would fairly dersernilse the best disciplined of nurseries. Raphael Tuck's and other. Chilitman cards are seen in endlers variety, prices running from a few cents up to dollars, and some of the cards are indeed ver- table works of art. For the convivialites of the Boxson there are Golaness' Stout (Wheeler's bottling) and Bass' Beer, Four Crown Whisky, and Isle of Skye Whisky, for all of which Mr. Rattonjee is sete sgeni. In fact, barring the roast beef, one could supply every gastronomic need for Chrishmas Day without geing outside the shop.

The wines and splits which seem to form an Indispensable feature to the majorly of Hongkong business houses bare not been neglected by our Galile friend and he - has a stock that will well repay lospection.
