considered himself entitled. When he held that there seemed to be "something lacking, in the supervision of the market" most people will agree with him, though where the fault lies we cannot discern. Does it not appear that the members of the Board themselves are sonicwhat to blame? Their duty is not, merely confined to the discussing of high politics, but it is also expected of them that they wilt make themselves personally ac- quainted with the actual conditions prevailing. And a surprise visit here and there would not be without profit, as the testimony of Mr. Hooper clearly shows. Moreover, it

would afford the conscientious inspector a opportunity of proving his worth. We hear A. S. WATSON & CO., plenty about the complaints against the De partment but nothing is said of those with whom no fault can be found, and in our opinion the good should be recognised equally with the bad. Of course that is merely a pious opinion. We confess we felt surprised to learn that Mr. Hooper was un- informed as to those responsible for the sauitary condition of the markets, "I would like to ask you," he said, who is respon. sible for the markets? Has the Veterinary Surgeon anything to do with the markets? Moreover, I would like to know if there

PHYSICAL CULTURE, DISPLAY IV. "THE

POCKET HERCULES."

At the invitation of Mr. Harold Evelyn (Bes. Hur) a gathering of Press repressotatives and

the medical profession of Hongkong attended the Hongkong Cinematograph yesterday after Doon. The show was one of the best of its kind seen to the Colony, and the audience showed | their appreciation by their numerous encoras,

The proceedings opened by the young athlete, who is only twenty-two years of age, and 139 pounds in weight, filling on his feet 1,300 pounds of stone which was suspend. ed on a large pole. This fest was accom- plished with great case,

The next item pothe programme, we policed, was the lifting of an iron dumb-bell, (weighing unmily 200-pounds) above his head and dropping it on to the maps of his neck. Then, at the invitation of the performer six of the spectators were invited to the stage, and ons of the most mirvailqus scopes wit nessed took place. These mea, the lightest of whom weighed on less thin 165 pounds, stood on the performer's frame, while he rested on two trestles," This item was much admired by those present... But the sensation of the evening was yet to be seen, Mr. Harold Evelyn, to the amazement of his audience, per milled a stone (weighing nearly 200 pounds) to be dropped, about four feet high, on kii abdomen, from which it rebounded like a rubber ball,

From what we have said, it can be judged that the stamina of the athlete is remarkable. The second part of the performance consisted of a series of muscular pases, in which the wonder ful development of the "Pocket Esrcules" was displayed. The performance concluded by Mr. Evelyo dancing the superficial muscles of his anatomy in rhythm with music," Mr. Evelyn was specially examined by the dectors present, who expressed, surprise at the suppleness of his muscles generally. The show is worth visiting.
