Recent statistics in shipping have proved that Hongkong, so far as the entry and exit of registered tonnage is concerned, is the second seaport in the world, and we have already expressed in these colunins our satisfaction at this welcome news. But to the man in the street, the man at the club, who is a fixed resident in the colony, and who has made this, city his home because his personal interests and future prospects are closely associated with it, Hongkong is not only the leading transit harbour of the globe, but it is also the most interesting city in the universe.

In his mind's eye the strategic value of the colony, its commercial standing, wealth, importance and even its superficial area bulk big in that formidable combination of continents and races-the British Empire. Every question, great or small, interesting its internal administra. tion, trade or extension, looms up with a magnitude of aspect that may seem exaggerated to the passing tourist, the new arrival and the educated portion of the A.
