Yesterday morning the Annual Public Examination of the pupils of the Government Central School was held, after which the prizes were distributed by His Excellency Governor POPE HENNESSY. His Excellency was accompanied by his Acting Aide-de-Camp, Mr. CREAGH, and his Private Secretary, Mr. G. STAFFORD NORTHCOTE. Among those present to witness the proceedings were the Honourable J. G. AUSTIN, C.M.G., the Honourable C. C. SMITH, the Honourable J. M. PRICE, the Honourable F. B. JOHNSON, Mr. Justice SNOWDEN, Captain H. G. THOMSETT, Mr. J. RUSSELL, Mr. A. LISTER, Mr. H. E. WODEHOUSE, Dr. WHARRY, Dr. YOUNG, Mr. T. JACKSON, Mr. J. J. FRANCIS, Mr. H. E. BRADDON, Rev. Dr. EITEL, Rev. R. LECHLER, Rev. J. C. EDGE, Rev. J. REUSCH, a large number of ladies, and other foreign residents, besides a good sprinkling of natives.
HIS EXCELLENCY having carefully looked over the examination papers and returns of the School, said the first duty he had to perform was to distribute the prizes which Mr. STEWART had put into his hands, which he proceeded to do, addressing to the different recipients a few words of congratulation and encouragement. To Mr. FRANK HAZELAND, who took the prize in the first class, (a watch presented by His Excellency), he said he was happy to give the prize to the son of a worthy resident of the Colony. Mr. HAZELAND's father was for many years our Crown Solicitor, he (Mr. FRANK HAZELAND) was himself born in Hongkong, and all were aware of the intimate connection his family had with the Colony for many years. In giving him this prize, His Excellency hoped it would only be one of many steps in progress he would make.
