Derry’s Military Band will plav the following programme from the Svdenham Park rotunda to-morrow evening at eight o’clock:—March, “Old Comrades” (C. Teike) ; fox-trot, “Sweetheart of all my Dreams” (A. Fitch); selection, “A Musical Jig Saw” «'A. Waston); -waltz, “Marie” (Irving Berlin); intermezzo, “The Bells of Somerset” pan Hurst); fox-trot, “Misery Farm” (Jay Wallis); cornet solo, Bandmaster C. Joughin; march, “Punjaub” (Chas. Payne) ; “God Save the King.” There are to be seen in the Far East at the present day many of the hansoms that formerly plied tin London streets. At such places as Shanghai, Hongkong, and even . Yokohama, it comes as something of a surprise to see them driven by natives, who, however, handle them with considerable dexterity. A few years ago many of these hansoms were to be seen in Calcutta, Bombay, and other Indian cities, but they are being rapidly drix'en out by the übiquitous “taxi.”
