A scramble up the accommodation ladder landed | the reporter on the saloon deck, a spacious promenade, commanding a fine clear view fore and aft. At the foreward part at this deck Is the salon companion, the sidan belag occupied by cosy lounges, and the sides are prettily panelled in polished maple. About the companion are six slate rooms, each asusually lofty and contafolog two wire-bed berths and a wide cushioned retice, The Boors are covered with Brussels carpet and each cabin has two large ports. These latter are on a new plan and work on swivel so that they can be adjusted to catch a current ofale from any quarter, a thing to be appreciated in the tropics. Another special feature about these rooms is that, In addition to the usual folding wash-stands, &c, they have each most convenient folding writing desks, with chests of drawers beneath.

THE NEW HONGKONG CLUB, The members of the Hongkong Club to-day went into occupation ofibelsfnew a-d handsome premises on the Prayi, The removal from the old pemises on. Queen's Road was quickly effected, and now the members have possession of one of the finest and most admirably situated buildings la Hongkong. Of course, even yet, there are a few finishing touches to be given but there are mailers of detail that should soon be disposed of without interfering with the comfort of members. The style of architecture adopted to the Italian resis sance, set off with portions in the Doila and Coslothian styles. It is a pity that the main entrance was not from the sea front, but this was owing to the position of the bowling alley, and the main entrance is in the western end of the building. On entering, a billiard room with three.iables is found on the left, and four bowling alleys are situated bebind the stone staircase facing the entrance. Bebind these again are the wine cellars and rafelgerating room. These all very lofty and well adapted apartments a78
