DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL AT CANTON.— Once a year these boats, each cut out of a single tree trunk, are floated in the most exciting and wildest of water festivals in South .China. A crowd of rowers enables the boats to travel at a high speed to the roar of drums and music. On one of the big junks is the dragon, and around it the people dance and make merry. This festival is a regular Chinese holiday, held each year on May 5.
