To the Editor of the "NowraCrva Datu News."
Sm,—As a set-off to the experience of your correspondent Mr. Holliday, I may mention thata couple of weeks or so ago, I took a trip to Mobkanshan, and the native boat there and back cost me $20.00, in which was included towage to Donghai and return, the boatman paying $5.00 each way. Tadd that this was by the Li Yung Ca., but there in no doubt that it the regtilar rate, and I could have had a similar arrangement through the Dai Sen Chang Go. had there been any of their boats avail ble at the time. It happened they were alloceupied in connection with the China festival at Hangchow.
The atraugenient which was made by the Committee acting for Mohkans van summer resort with the Dai Sen Chang Ca. I feel sure will be carried out by that Ca. T had the opportunity, of taking note of ite terms on the day it was executed, and expect in common with others to take the benefit of it this summer. It aust have been owing to unusual circumstances—as in my own case—that they could not serve Mr. Holliday on the terms promised when he applied.
Tan, etc., Epwarp Evans.
P.S. Ishould state that the arrangement is $5.00 each way for towing a housel (foreign) to Donghsi or ature, and $5.00 for a native boat. by abeld speculator for the spre ly ae tion of a vast fortune. Knowledge is power in every arena of life when properly wielded. The proprietor of Holloway's Pills ant Ointment 1s fully alive to this fact, and knowing their value asa cure for all di ses, he has made their merits known in all parts of the world. Commercial men who, to keep pre with the times, have always to work at high pressure should never be without a supply these valuable medicines, They pucife the blood, strengthen the stomach, quickly the circulation and invigorate the system. For nervous or neuralgic headache, no remedy has been excellence.
