LOCAL NEWS, CHINESE NEWS. and all the NEWS.
The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
The past week has been signalised by the departure of His Excellency Sir Cecil Clementi to take up the so-called higher (but not so important) post of Governor of the Straits Settlements and High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States.
The farewell ceremony at Statue Square and Queen's Pier was a genuine tribute' of respect for Sir Cecil and a sincere note of regret at his departure. The full report appears in this week's Overland Chins Mail.
A report also appears of the ceremony of swearing in the Officer Administering the Government, the Hon. Mr. Wilfred T. Southorn.
The curtain has been rung down on the trial of Instone Brewer, who made a lengthy but vain appeal to the Judge before sentence, was passed. The addresses of Brewer and the Judge are given in full in the Overland China Mail.
Chinese New Year festivities strike a happier note. How the Colony celebrated should be interesting to relatives and friends at Home. Send them a copy of this week's Overland China Maž.
In the realm of sport there have been interport golf, Association football, and Rugby football matches. Graphic details of how Hong Kong won or lost--as the case may be- convey much more to the Home folk than a letter written in a hurry,
the
