Sir Cecil Bingham Levita, Chairman of the London County Counci, on a subject to which we feel justified in drawing further attention, and with every confidence that gt will appeal to the kindly natured Britons of Shanghai, Amongst the many Gharities which he fathers, the Briton has a few which are special pets. Fortunately, most institutions for stricken animals are well provided for, but, give him an extra chance, as, for instance, with the "Field" "Distemper Fund, comments "tough Tuck" and again digs into his pocket, Yet his most beloved of the special pets are hospitals, those institutions whose purses are fall of holes, and who care for those] who constitute an unbroken run of "tough luck."
