A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
LOCAL NEWS, CHINESE NEWS. and all the NEWS.
The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
A portrait of Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., Inte Governor of Hong Kong and ex-Chancellor of the Hong Kong University, was unveiled by H.E. the Governor, Sir William Peel, K.B.E., C.M.G., in the Great Hall of the University, during the week. Later H.E. the Governor was asked by Mr. W. W. Hornell, Vice-Chancellor of the University, to open the new biological laboratory of the University. The generosity of friends in making this addition possible was dwell upon by the-speaker, it being mentioned that one Chinese had donated $50,000. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains a complete account of the ceremonies.

There have been several company meetings of consider- able interest during the week. At one of them, a motion was approved for an additional share issue by the Dairy Farm, Ice, and Cold Storage Company, Limited. A motion to increase the fees of directors of the Hong Kong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company, also went into effect. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL carles a full report of these meetings, together with the report presented to shareholders at a meeting of the Hong Kong and Canton Ice Co., Ltd.
A prosecution, described as the first of its kind, was brought by the Police against a Kowloon resident for unlawfully announcing or making public details of a lottery for jewellery prizes. The Pollee brought a second charge against defendant's son for announcing the lottery in a local The Club, and, in fact, effected the arrest there. OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains full details.
The evil of street snatching appears to be on the increase, and some smart sentences have been meted out by the Magistrates during the week, one offender getting one year in prison and 24 strokes of the birch, and a second, who pleaded ineffectually for leniency, receiving five months, and 20 strokes. These and other local cases are fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA HAIL
It is now definitely established that, the big heal property deal exclusively announced in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL a few weeks ago, has finally gone through. The Imperial Chemical Industries (China) Limited, ha already taken over the property at East Point formerly belonging to the China Sugar Refinery Co., Ltd. (in Bquidation), although the actual purpose to which it will be put is not as yet divulged.
News from, the North seems to indicate that the Manchurian troops have taken peaceful possession of Peking, thus deposing the short-lived regime of the Shansi war-lords. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains all the latest despatches from this much-troubled area, together with comment by special correspondents, on the spot.
