The only effect of the Colonial and Governmental protests against the Savage South Africa Show seems to have been to ive a capital advertisement to Mr. Imre iralfy's latest exhibition. The organisers of the Enrl's Court Exhibition have, it may be remembered, imported upwards of a hundred Matabele, Swazis, Kaflirs, and Zulus, and the Governments of the Cape \d other British Colonies in South Africa hat protested that this importation of natives for show purposes has a bad effect when they return to their awn country, and have urged its prohibition. The Government have, of course, no power to interfere, and all that Mr. Chamberlain, in his sympathy ith the protests, could do was to commudicate with the Duke of Cambridge, who was to open the Exhibition, The Duke decided in the interests of the exhibitors to fulfil his promise to open the Greater Britain Exhibition, but to ignore Savage South Africa. The only colonies exhibiting directly are Victoria and Queensland but their exhibits are interesting and the Savage South Africa spectacle is decidedly the best thing of the kind which has yet been seen at Earl's Court. What visitors to the Exhibition want, of course, is ninety-nine per cent of amusement to one per cent of instruction or thereabouts; and there is abundant amusement to be got at Earl's Court, none the least among which is a visit'to the South Africans in their Kraal of mud huts. And the fact that one of the natives has had to be sent home for chasing harmless pedestrians about the streets with an iron bar has only added to its interest.
