Vol.11. No. 8 THE PHONOSCOPE 15 Bew JfUms for flew IRecorbs for £be latest "Screen" flliacbines ^alfnno flfcacbtnes popular Songs JAPANESE SAMPANS. A view taken in Yokohama harbor from the landing stage, or British Hatoba, and presents a lively head-on race between these peculiar crafts, the Sampans. They have just carried out passengers to one of the steamships lying in the offing, and are seen racing like "night hawk cabbies" for the remaining passengers standing on the jetty. SHANGHAI STREET SCENE No. i. The street in this picture is the Bund, or the road nearest the river Yangtse Kiang ; really the principal business street ; containing as it does nearly all the banks and offices. It is also the fashionable drive, where at sundown the European residents turn out in full array. SHANGHAI STREET SCENE No. 2. Here is another view on the Bund, with The Garden on the left, with its high arched conservatory. As in the former scene, the peculiar wheelbarrows prove to be the central attraction. Evidently some tourists are enjoying the novel vehicle, as shown by the hilarity of the party that passes by in front of our artists. A barrow is often loaded with three or four passengers, although but one man propels it. SHANGHAI POLICE. Passing out of the gates at the government offices, the Shanghai police pass in full view on their way to their respective stations. HONG KONG WHARF SCENE. A Macao steamer has just arrived, and the coolies are seen passing through the small gate on the left, jostling each other in their hurry to reach the steamer to unload both freight and passenger luggage. STREET SCENE IN HONG KONG. Here is an excellent view of one of the main business streets in the Chinese quarter of Hong Kong Prosperous looking stores line both sides of the wide street, with their strange business signs reading up and down. GOVERNMENT HOUSE AT HONG KONG' Our artist seized the opportune moment to catch this picture when the distinguished guests were gathering to do honor to Prince Henri, of Prussia, at the official residence of the governor, the occasion being a garden party. The guests arrive at the pillared gates in chairs carried on the shoulders of Chinamen, who make their living at this occupation. HONG KONG REGIMENT, No. 1. A splendid infantry regiment, raised in India, composed of Punjabis, Paithans and Hindoostanis, 1,023 strong, commanded by Major J. M. A. Retallick, They march forward and wheel by companies during Adjutant's parade, under Lieut. Berger. HONG KONG REGIMENT, No. 2. Shows same regiment at bayonet drill, keeping time with full regimental band. The uniform is the British scarlet coat and black trousers, bound tightly below the knee with their peculiar cloth leggings. The "puggri," or turban, is of dark blue and red. SHEIK ARTILLERY, HONG KONG. This picture shows a squad of men forming part of this fine regiment of Sheiks, from East India, under command of their Subadar, or native commissioned officer. They may be seen working the ; 2-ton cannon in North Point Fort.
