THE STAR FERRY Company, have now labelled all of the sheep pens on their wharves and have taken to locking out all season ticket holders until the arrival of a launch, when they are passed into the enclosure and allowed to go on board.

We heard a Kowloonite remark, after viewing the maze, that he supposed they'd fumigate everybody next 1 We hope matters will not get so bad as that:

AT CREWE recently Wm. Cole was charged with travelling on the London and North Western Railway without paying his fare.
Inspector Perkins said that on the arrival at Creve of an express from Central Wales for Liverpool, prisoner was seen about the middle of the train standing upon the buffers on a coach. He had a leg on each buffer, and was clinging to a gas tube with both hands and facing the engine. When the train stopped he jumped off and walked away. His position was most dangerous, as he might have dropped under the wheels at any moment, and been cut to pieces. Prisoner said he was asleep on the fine. The train wakened him and he got THE NEW COLOURING of our warships, aboard, but at what point he could not say. as shown by the Albion and Isis, does not im- AMONG MANY GOOD things in the first press one very much at first sight.

We really cannot see, however, the object of the black spars, for they would certainly show up against the skyline. From what we saw of the American fleet in its war paint during the Spanish-American war, we should imagine that a neutral grey, such as Admiral Dewey adopted, would be better than our grey and black. Still, we suppose that in these days of hard common sense a great deal of decorative work will have to give place to something more useful and substantial. The
