MR. G. J. W. KING attended at the offices of the Public Works Department yesterday after noon in pursuance of the advertised sale by public auction of three lots of Government) land, two at Kowloon, and one at Barker Road.

Only four Chinese landowners put in an ap pearance, and they being indisposed to offer bids for any of the properties, the sale was not

held.

Lovers of cod-liver oil and similar pastinesses will do well to take a trip to Kowloon where they, can in Chater Road, feast their sense of smell on the odour of fish oil in their hearts content.

An impudent robbery recently occurred in a cash shop in the Native City, Tientsin, a Chinaman going to the shop and alarming the inmates by telling them a crowd of foreign sokliers were outside and they had better hide. When they had run away into the back pre-. muses, this individual proceeded to help himself all the valuables and decamped, and had got well away before the inmates discovered they

THE RUNAWAY-GIRL.

The Runaway Girl made her first bid for popular favour last night; and secured it. The piece went with a swing from start to finish; the dresses were goud; the scenery again excellent, particularly the Second Act which represented the Grand Canal in Venice, with a vision of lofty domes and stately palaces in the distance. Mr. Datlas, as Elipper, gave us indisputably his finest impersonation this season. The quaint cockney jockey was inimitably portrayed; and from start to finish the humour of the character kept the house in a roar. Skilfully avoiding the pitfalls that would have dragged a less clexar actor into Calgarity, he swept the whole action of the piece along in an irresistible flood of drollenes." Amusement never tessened for congratulate him on his marvellous display of a moment while he was on the stage; and we acting. Next to him came Mr. Munro, whose "Brother Tamarind was decidedly good. Whether as the rubicund friar or the amerous strolling musician, he was equally aniusing,
