ROYAL MILITARY, HOSPITAL,
As will be seen by a telegram published in another column the plans for a military hospital for Hongkong have been approved This is the successful termination of a Corres pondence that has been dragging its weary length through the clepartments concerned, for the 'last
12 to 14 years.
There is no doubt that the accomodation in our military hospitals at the present time is not only very inalequate but is so scattered that the time of the doctors is most unnecessairty wasted journeying from one hospital to another. The approved scheme dispenses with all this, as the suggested building, bring situated in a very central position Bowen Road), dons away with the scattered branches and brings the Separate departments under rouf and therefore reduces the amount of labour for supervision etc. At present there are two blocks of buildings in Wellington Barracks used as hospitals and a bulk, the Jeaned faincipally used for contagious diseases, but the present scheue will do away with these, the whole hospital staff being under one roof. The plans that have already been approved show that the welfare of T. Atkins, Esq, has been considered in every derail and that the effeciency of the hospital staff will be greatly enhanced. Some exception may be taken to basing the hospital at a higher level than that at which the barracks are situated, but we are in- formed from a wo reliable source it is intended to gradually move the whole of the garrison to a higher level, as it is found that the health of the coups at Mount-Austin is far superior to that of those on the lower levels. Of course this will take time to perform but in the intérim special arrangements will be made at the different barracks to provide for men being taken suddenly sick and serious cases, Before the work can be cove menced the final approval of minor details will have to be obtained but this is expected by the next mail or so and it is hoped that the work will not be delayed more than the time the actual building operations necessarily envolve It is a refora: that is wanted and therefore the sooner the better, say we

Miss Muriet Aleyle as the Spirit of Youth appeared in the first scene, and looked the part to perfection.
Later on she charmed everyone with her delightful rendering of The Willow Pattern Plate" her enunciation being as usual, exret. lent and in response to the general appeal, she repeated the last verte. We should have liked to hear more of Miss Alleynes cinging durang! the evening, but her part did not admit of any, The absence of Mrs. Dallas from the cast was noted and regretted.
The overture composed of popular airs was well rendered by the Orchestri, and the curtain rose soon after a disclosing the Nursery at Christinus, time the Babes sleeping peårestilly, and the Spirits of Indigestion and of Castiga- tion were early upon the scene.
Miss Florence Peel sang and shanced so well that it was not in the nature of things for the audience to take her advice and look the uther way.". On the contrary they wished to look in the same direction again and Miss Florente Peel kindly gratified the general wish.
