His Excellency arrived with Lady Clementi, accompanied by Capt. Sillitoe, by molor-car at 3.30 o'clock and they were met by the Hon. Dr. Kotewall and Mr.. Luke. His Excellency then inspected the Company of Boy Scouts lined up on the roadway facing the entrance.
Mr. Li Yau-tsun handed a pair of scissors and a golden key to Lady Clementi to open the new building. She cut the ribbon in two, and, after opening the grilled doorway, Mr. Li asked her to keep the golden key and the pair of scissors as mementoes of the occasion. Laugh- ingly, Lady Clementi took out ten cents from her purse and handed it to Mr. Li, saying that to prevent the
