PROPERTY SALES.

PLOT FOR A CHURCH IN KOWLOON.

Property was put up yesterday both at the Public Works Depart- ment and at the China Auction Rooms. In the former case all the land sold was in Kowloon and undeveloped, while Mr. de Sousa's sate was confined to a plot in Vic torin, with a dwelling house there on. It wae notable that one of the conditions of sale of Crown land laid it down that the area could only be used for the erection of a church and this lot was knocked down to a religious body.

At the P.W.D., the first lot offered was New Kowloon Inland Lot No. 1184 at the Junction of Cheung Sha Wan Road and Pol Ho Street, Shamshufpo, and held for a torm of 70 years from July, 1898. at an annual Crown Rental of $16 and having an area of 2,193 square fect. Upact price, $3,290.

The purchaser was held to an expenditure of $5,000 in rateable improvements within 24 months and that with levelling, certain arens should be turned over to the Director of Public Works within 12 months.

There was an unexpected burst of bidding for this lot, which opened at the upset price and with bids of $100, went to $3,790 and was purchased by Yin Nen She at this figure.

CORRESPONDENCE.

HONGKONG MUSICAL

SOCIETY,

[To The Editor of Hongkong Telegraph.)

Sir,--For Home years, this Colony has had the reputation of being apathetic towards music, and many of the distinguished artists who have performed horo have had exceedingly bad "houses." Sometimes the notice has been 6o short that many people have be- come booked for other engage ments; at other times the adver- tising has been inadequate or the artist has not been sufficiently woll-known to attract attention.

A Socfety has now been formed, called the Hongkong Musical So člety, the object of which is to stimulate interest in music and to give out by post information about recitals, etc., as soon as dates are fixed, to ensuro a good attendance. I should like to emphasize that the Society will have no financial interest in any of the concerts to which it londs its support. There is no subscription, but members are expected to make avery enden- vour to come to good concerts.

Volunteering and Racing.

In many respects Mr. Schroeder has taken an netive part in the doings of the foreign communities with which he has been associated. In 1897 he joined "A" Co., S.V.C., and holding the rank of corporal, was in charge of the signal ecc- tion of the whole Corps. He also took a keen and practical interest in racing, and while in Checfoo was a steward of the club.
