*THE GEISHA.”
The brightest and merriest. piece in tha repertoire of the Dallas Company was pro duced very successfully last night. The story of "The Geisha" is too well-known to need a further telling. We have sympathised with the lores and sorrows of O Mimosa San, and laughed at the droileries of Wun Hi on many stage; but they are still as delightfully quaint and attractive as ever.
The opera was magnificently mounted ; the dresses were superb; and the scenery was worthy of Daly's Theatre, the Lyric or the Shaftesbury. The first act, the exterior and Grounds of the Tea House, made a wonder< fully pretty picturo, equalled only by the beauty of the fairy-like garden's of the Marquis's. palace with the distant view of the snow-clad mountain, rising in solitary grandeur from the fertile plains of Japan.
All Evelyne da Worms surpassed herself in her presentation of the title rêle. Piquantly pretty and charming as ever, her acting as Mimosa San and the quaint grace of her. movements, enraptured the house. And the music, so superior to the ordinary run of latter-day light opera, gave her voice the chance we had longed for. Her rendering of the solos was more than' effective; and she displayed to the fall the extraordinary compass and strength she is gifted with, Rardy, indeed, has our theatre rung with such clear, sweet and, withal, powerful notes; and be enthusiastic encores showed how a Hongkong audience can appreciate so rare a

CAPTAIN George Grahum, who for 18 years was in the employ of the China Merchants Co. and the last few years in command of the tug. For Ere, was drowned on Saturday, about 11.30p.m., says the New Press of the 25th inst. Having come on board his vessel at the China Merchants' S. N. Co's wharf, and going below to his cabin, he had occasion to come on deck again, when it is supposed he accidentally fell over the side of the vessel. The captain of another vessel lying at the wharf, hearing a splash, immediately summoned assistance and finally succeeded in getting the unfortunate man out of the water and in to his bed, but before-medical assistance arrived he was dead, The deceased was very well-known in shipping circles, and great sympathy is felt for the wife and three children be leaves in England.".
