A few weeks aga the Kuk Fau Flower-boats were moved from their old anchorage down to Dutch Foly, a short distance below the Cantos- Hospital. Last Saturday afternoon about five o'clock a fire broke out in one of the smaller. boals and it was soon burned to the water's edge. Fortunately for the other boats the tide. was coming in and as the burning one, was lying to the west of the others, the rising Lide kept it away from them. Had the tide
been running out the burning boat would have been carried right against the others and all would have been consumed. About five years ago all these boats were destroyed by fire.
Another fire in the west end of the city gutled two or three shops. The long dry spell THE COLONIAL HOTEL

THE STREET THEAIRES.
The street theatres still continue, with the usual noise and obstruction to trade. The Kwong Chau Fu and the Nam Hoi and Pun. U magistrates have issued proclamations re- gulating these "Ta Tsius." These proclama tions came out in this way. When the late Tao Mu was viceroy of the Two Kwangs, some of the progressists thought it would be a good time to attacks some of the useless customs of China. A petition was prepared asking that the money spent on idol processions be collected for educational or other useful purposes. What became of the petition is not known. No answer was received. But the petitioners were not discouraged. It was some- thing, however, that they were not reproved for interfering with old customs. A few weeks ago four Christians, all bolding degrees, sent a petition to the Viceroy asking for the prohibi- tion of the matsheds used in connection with the idol feasts. The petition ran as follows:

It would certainly not be amiss it, before he presided at another meeting, the chairman of the C.E. and M. Company should have a little coaching in the approximate pronunciation of Chinese words of ordinary everyday use-wo mean words employed amongst non-Chinese- speaking Europeans. It is a little difficult to put down exactly how he managed to pro- nounce them, on his own peculiar method, but very familiar words came from his lips most Perhaps the awkwardly and confusedly.

Mr. Smith In this case I want to call your attention to this. The law says that every person who desires a publican's or adjunct license shall give ten days notice to the Magistrate in the form of schedule B. or C. according to the nature of such application. This has not been done, because it is signed by two persons instead of three. Yours is signed by M. R. C. Wilcox and Mr. C. Mooney. When the application was first put in the Chief Clerk intimated to the applicant that it was not in order, but no attempt has been made to remedy it. The application is not before us in proper form and we cannot entertain it.
