THE AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH of Harry Aldridge will come as a shock to many, East Saturday night he was singing in his well-known mariner at the Hotel Metropole, but on Sunday he was maken sick and died on Monday morning. There was hardly a concert or charitable entertainment that Harry was not to the fore as he was always ready to give his services when asked. Mr. Varielman, of the Great Western Hotel saw to the last arranges ments and is collecting subscriptions for a fitting memorial to mark the spot where lies a "little white man:"

CHINESE BOYS AND THEIR

SICK MOTHERS.

PREVENTATIVE Measures at cantÓN. "What shall we do with our boys?" is an. old time query, but one capable of many inter pretations In China, however, more especially perhaps in Hongkong, it is peculiarly appro. priate for here "our boys" are at times almost unmanageable, and Europeans have the utmost difficulty in keeping them anything like under proper restraint. But there are boys and boys, and to the uninitiated they are not a bad lot if well "cumshawed." But the general boy-the sullen and morase character-finding employ in the service of some thoughtful and considerate European, is an object who, for cool contempt, callous selfishness, and crafty cunning it would be difficult to beat. For years past he has had a sick mother at Canton, and wishing to visit her obtains a few days leave to say nothing of au advance. He then sets off for his native city there to find employ and smile at having done the "follen devils," But their little games are not going on without interruption for it is satisfactory to find that measures are being taken whereby sick mothers and advanced wages are likely to be considerably handicapped if not altogether to become an enjoyment of the past. Moreover, the Chinese authorities are lending a helping hand and Mr. Boy seems likely to have a bad ten minutes if caught at his pranks again.

Wright drove Potter twice for four, and in attempting the same stroke was bowled. Score 105-10-21. Wright's 28 was, with the exception of Voules, the best showing of the team. The total, 105, left the Straits 122 to the bad.

At 11.5 a.m. the Shanghai tean appeared in the field again, as the Straits, being 132 behind, had to follow on with Voules and Carter. Carter took the first from Potter and cut his second neatly in the slips. Voules was nearly beat by his third, he only just dropping on it in time.

Mann' started with the ball from the top end, Sharpe taking his first and driving his third to the boundary. He was batting with confidence as if such a thing as tiffin time had never occurred, patter went on at the lower end to Mackenzie, who started with a good free bat, and drove him to the pavilion putting 110 up. Mana was bowling well to the off, and Sharpe cut him hard to Price, who saved in No. 1 form. The next, however, was snicked to the boundary. The bowling was on all sides of the coveted three stumps, and Mackenzie put another through the railings of Potter. Mann's con dition would evidently not stand a prolonged. spell with the ball, and if be and Potter went off colour, Sharpe and Mackenzie looked quite capable of sticking for the afternoon,
