THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,

BAND CONCERT,

ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMME

FOR TO-NIGHT.

The fourth band concert of the acason, arranged by the Kowloon Residents Association, is to take place on the ground of the Kow- loon Football Club this evening, when the programme will be rendered by the popular band of the 1st Batt. The Somerset Light Infantry (Prince Albert's) by kind permission of Major R., H. E. Bennett, M.C., and Officers.

La

The programme is a most at- tractive one, including the overture and Gavotto froni "Mignon" grand fantasia of the airs from Traviata", and "Cameos of London Life", being a Cockney suite de- scriptive of life in London. In ad- dition there are many shorter pieces on the programme, all of which will doubtless be enjoyed,

The concert starts at 9.00 pm., and refreshments will be obtain able on the tennis courts at the north end of the ground.~~

The last concert was a great auc- cess in every respect, except one. We are informed that it was a financial loss. It is true that the

K.R.A. is not looking for any financial profit, but it certainly has no desire to run them at a loss. That there is no extravagent ex- penditure will be obvious to anyone who will take the trouble to cast his eye over the brief statement of accounts, which is given below. Nor would there have been any loss if everyone had risen to the modest demand of 20 cents for a seat with the same readiness that was shown on the occasion of the first concert. It is significant that on that oc- casion 873 persons paid for seats, whereas, at the last concert, which

PEAK IN DARKNESS.

ELECTRIC LIGHT CUT OFF FOR TEN MINUTES. About a quarter past eight last evening a sudden dimming of the

electric lights both on the Peak aud in town caused some apprehension as to whether the lights would suddenly fail. The very dim glow

continued in town for about ten minutes, the while residents strain- ed their eyes at reading or other occupations, and then the light suddenly returned to full brilliance. Peak dwellers, however, had their apprehensions realised when, after the preliminary dimaess, there was a momentary return to normal and, then sudden darkness, the current] entirely failing. This lasted fully ten minutes, the lights coming on

gain shortly after 8.30.

Part of the eastern area in the lower levels, throughout Wanchai up to Garden Read, was similarly affected.

Enquiries elicited the explanation that a power-station engine had developed a fault, and current was switched off in

the affected area while repairs were carried out.
