THE COUNTRY OF COCKAIGNE

To the Editor of the "Nonrit-Cama DaiLy News'

Sin—I should be extremely, grateful to you if, through the medium of your columns, one could trace the existence of a London Society, Association or Union, as the ease may be, in Shanghat, 'That such a society existe here there can be no doubt, but the Londoner, ever retiring' and modest '<3 he is, does not appear to blazon it forth' as doos our "Provincial" fellow countryman, Lest my non-London friend accuse us of silence through priggish superiority citizens of the first city of th world, I hasten to assure him he We all realize what the men from are nct united in this far-off town, may I ask you through your valuable Journal to sound the tocsin of Bow and call us together?

Tam, ete.
