BIRTHDAY PARTIES seem to be the craze

just лот. Al Kowloon, Mr. J. W. Osborne, the proprietor of the Kowloon Hotel, has bad a busy time and is gaining quite an enviable re putation by the excellent spreads he is setting before the guests.

AN ENJOYABLE DANCE was held on Saturday evening in the large room at the Metropole Hotel, kindly lent by the energetic proprietor, Mr. Young. It was given by the sailors on board of H.31S. Barfitur and was very largely attended by tars and their friends. Dancing was commenced about 8 o'clock and was kept up till shonly before midnight.

THE HOLIDAY to day has been spent in many and various ways. A large number attended the cricket match, many sought enjoyment in making excursions and picnics while not a few were content to wander in the streets and get in everybody's way. Barring Pressmen and others of less importance the holiday should prove beneficial physically, it not Gnancially.

WHAT CAN TRUTHFULLY be described as a very pretty wodding was solemnized this morning at the Union Church, when the nuptial knot was tied between Miss Euphemia Wilson and Mr. Kay Waxton, of the Paper Mills, Aberdeen. After the ceremony a recep- tion was held at the Hongkong Hotel when Mr. and Mrs. Haxton were the recipients of many kind wishes.

The Members of the Club and their friends were accommodated in the pavi lion and in tents on the ground, and, we must thank the Committee for the excellent accom modation supplied for the Press (who are often overlooked here) and. the courtesy shown to them generally. There was a large attendance all day, and the play was watched with-great- interest.

The Hongkong's opened with Hancock and Clifton Brown to face the bowling of Mackenzie and Billings. Mackenzie's first over to Chilton Brown was a maiden. Billings was making his balls rise, thus proving troublesome to the batsman, but his length was bad and. Hancock cut him prettily, but owing to good fielding runs came slowly. Hancock was upto his best form,

getting the bail weil away from the wicket every time. Billings sent down a maiden' to Browa who was playing a steady stonewalling game, Hancock cut Mackenzie to the boundary in the first of the next over but no more runs were forthcoming. Brown got one away to square leg off Billings and Hancock repeated, putting 10 up on the board for 17 minutes play. Both trundlers appeared to be on the wicket, and it was only an occasional, one that could be got through the field. Point was taking his balls cleanly and was getting most of the five behind the wicket on the off side, but both work. Billings was bowling for the field and had

men were keeping then down and no chances were given. Voules, at wicket-keep, was doing good work, and a square leg drive to the boundary by Brown completed Mackenzie's over. In the last ball of the next over Hancock at St. Patrick's Club on Saturday evening by THE VARIETY ENTERTAINMENT given cut a hard one to point, which was taken in HMS Ocean's vatiety troupe left no doubt Billing was bowling to the off but Brown was great siyle by Barkshire, eliciting applause. as to the smartness and ability of the tars to not to be tempted.

News from here is of the gloomiest kind: the Governor seems to spend the greater part of his time, in drawing up new regulations which all tend to aggravate zu already over- burdened country.
