rows of shady trees, and is well equipped with waterworks, drainage and sewage systems. With the growth of trade, more particularly in Manchurian beans, a number of influential business houses, Japanese, Chinese and foreign, have established themselves at the port. The foreign and Japanese communities in April, 1909, organized and opened the Dairen Club. A Gun Club, Golf Club, and Marine Association are among the other institutions of the port. Of places for public amusement, the so-called Electric Park, designed on an up-to-date plan and containing all devices for recreation, forms the chief attraction. The Chinese quarter, situated on the western fringe of the city, has also grown considerably. There is a Railway Hospital equipped with every modern appointment and affording accommodation for 200 patients. It is ably conducted by a staff of medical officers. A new hospital has recently been constructed on a large scale, accommodating over 500 patients, and is one of the finest and most up-to-date hospitals in the Far East.
A direct steamship service is maintained twice a week by the South Manchuria Railway Company between Dairen and Shanghai, one outward bound steamer and one homeward bound steamer calling at Tsingtao each week, by which means communication is obtained between Shanghai and the trans-Siberian route to Europe. Regular and "half regular" steamship services are maintained to and from all the Shanghai can be important ports of Japan, U.S.A., China and Chosen (Korea).

In 1921 the net value of the trade of Dairen was Hk. Tls. 210,431,265, as compared with Hk. Tls. 203,773,599 in 1920, and Hk. Tls. 210,748,036 in 1919. The export trade in 1921 suffered a set-back owing to the adoption of a gold standard on the Dairen Staple Produce Exchange by order of the Japanese Government, who disregarded all protests made to them on the subject. According to the census taken in June, 1921, the Japanese population of the town and suburbs was 228,458 persons in 39,336 houses. Chinese numbered 163,630 in about 29,907 houses, and other nationals totalled 223.
