place themselves in too close proximity to the foreign troops, and they feel that they can continue the game of bluff longer by remaining safely out of reach. On the other hand we are told that troops are being 'massed at Hsian and, as China is a land of surprises, it might well prove to be as our Correspondent suggests, and the Court return with an immense force to make a final bid for the ousting of the foreigner. Certainly L HUNG-CHANG'S move in practically begging for arms looks as though he wished to prove to the Powers that China had been so drained by them that she had not even a musket to arm a policeman with. This, as we said before, sounds very pretty, but to those who know anything of China is manifestly all bosh. There can be little doubt but that China still possesses a very fair amount of arms and we can only look upon Li's latest move as another attempt to throw dust in the eyes of the foreigners. Anyhow, the situation is is well worth watching and the Powers can not congratulate themselves upon being well out of the wood yet. China has by no means been brought to her knees, and this is a fact that it would be well for the Powers to thoroughly realize before they consider their expedition at an end.

We should have liked to have gone into every detail of, as we think, one of the frost performances even witnessed in the Colony but under the circumstances we found it impossible; we might have taken a few notes if we had climbed a lamppost or perched in one of the neighbouring trees, but that seemed the only accomodation provided for the press.

MR. G. GIRAULT is opening up a new lot of all the latest novelties in table delicacies. Our space is too limited to attempt to enumerate the different makes, but we should advise anyone in want of something dainty in the eating line to pay a visit of inspection to Mr. G. Gimult's store.

WE HAVE RECEIVED from Mr. Mee Cheung, the photographer, two excellent photo- graphs. One represents Viceroy To of Canton, surrounded by his suite, and the other is a panoramic view of the Viceregal Bodyguard, drawn up in parade order. These photos should make capital souvenirs, both for residents and for globe trotters.

At least 1,000 to 2,500 people including per- formers must have been present and, except for the tiresome waits every number was duly appreciated of course, in a subdued and de- corus manner. The concert part of the func tion was a farce and it was rather rough on Messrs. Viggers, Ward and Oxberry who, in spite of the adverse circuinstances, stuck to their word to assist in finding an accompanist and the gentleman who eventually did oblige deserves praise for doing as well as he did on the instrument provided.
