The following report of the committee rela tive 10 special card of graves in the Colonial Cemetery, was considered at the meeting of the Sanitary Board this afternoon

With reference to the report of the President on this matter, we would suggest !--

That the monuments, which require re-

setting up, should be attended to and paid for by Government is done is its case of repairs after typhoons. The cost should not be great as there are not many stones in this condition.

2. All trans, which, owing to their size. "are" damaging grave stones, should be removed,

All fir trees overhanging marble tomb stores and causing them to becomediacoloured should be cut down.

But not the Sanitary Board or any special committee of its members la infallible. On all such Committees there are ware to be one or two faddists. Foddists are al ways interesting..

WATER POLÓ COMPETITION.

The Government has taken a practical view of the preservation of the Pokfulam Reservoir, Long may it continue, An in- teresting subject was raised at the recent meeting of the Board, dealing with the bread log of mosquitoes. Į remember that some. thing less than A year ago some indigna tion was expressed at the importation into Hongkong of a quantity of mosquito larva from Canton. They were intended to feed gold fish with. Gold fish are pretty and harm- less creaturas, but they are notphatically not worth belog made a causa of danger to men. The ignorant Chinese who imported these lar vas bad of course no knowledge of the results of what they were doing. For this reason the suggestion expressed I thick by Mr. Hooper, that a few thousand pamphlets be printed ip Chinese and circulated, explaining how mosquitoes breed and giving instructions for their provention, was an excellent one and It is only to be regretted that the Board adop ed it half-heartedly. Advertisements are to appear in the Native Press on this subject of mosquito brending. People will be warned against allowing staguani water to remain in old tins, etc. This is well thought of, but it would have been still baiter, and little mora expansive to bave had the whole subject care: fully printed in easy Chinese and circulated among householders New ideas are not rapid- ly assimilated by the Chinese, but once grasped they hold them "derned tight "as an American said of a certain Britisher's ugly but very secure feri on horseback, Who, ten years ago, could have foresees the splendid usefulness of the Chinese local dispenesties which work so har moniously with our sant try Authoritier to-day? Much of the credit of this fortun de state of affairs is no doubt das 10, the Hon. Mr. A. Brewio, Re- gistrar General, whose knowledge, of the Obi- mese and lact are unrivalled, Mr. Lau Chú-pak Is sober enlightened and unselfish worker for the common good. I know that many of his countrymen place unbounded confidence in him, and every European who-has-spoken of--Barros- him in my hearing has spoken in the same sense as the man who said of him only yester day, "La Chu-pak, yes, very public-spirited man indeed, gives his work and his time for nothing!"
