Fine Array of Prizes The prizes for the successful competitors-as prizes go in Hong Kong-were excellent, and local clubs will have to go a long way to equal them.

At the conclusion of the race, the prizes were presented by Mrs. Taylor, wife of Major Taylor, second officer in command of the regiment. Three Justy cheers were voluntarily raised by the boys" and a long distance echo "Bravo, Mrs. Taylor" was heard before the gathering dispersed.
