is has long been the boast of Hong- kong residents-and it is most likely that the claim will always hold good while foreigners reside here-that social amenities staar out clearly and distinctly from all political or even business differences. Indeed, there probably never has been a period in the short bistory of this Colony when the Euro- pean and other residents of Hongkong were more unanimous in sympathy and conviction upon certain points. Under these circumstances, it may be worth while to consider how our public gaieties and entertainments are to fare during this cool season of 1880-81. It may be noticed that the Race Committee and the Amateur Dramatic Club hold their opening meatings this evening, for Passenezra arriving la' Hongkong, or say the purpose no doubt of furthering other persons who may desire to con- the wholesome recreation of residents during the next six months.

For four out of the last five from those countries, are now filed for years, the Scotchmen of the Colony bave lod off the Season with a Cale- donian Ball, which has formed a most cosmopolitan and pleasant gathering on each occasion. It will, we presune, now become a matter for consideration amongst the Sons of Scotia-if indeed it has not already done so-whether or not a similar celebration of their national day can be given this year. It is with no desire to interfere with the arrange-- meats and plans of our Scotch friends that we now draw attention to the sub- jeet; but the resolution arrived at by the Committee of the St. Andrew's So- ciety of Shanghai, to give a Caledonian Bull the Model Settlement on the 30th November next, brings home the question what is to be done in Hung- In view of the comparatively kong, small numbers of Brithera' Scot in this Colony, it may be felt that a Cule- As we have already fully discussed the doninu Ball of the dimensions of some questions at issue between Governor of the demonstrations given here is Hennessy and the City Hall Committee, somewhat beyond the means of a few it is unnecessary again to deal with the who are not blessed with an abundance facts of the case.
