A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
The birthday of His Majesty King George V was observed in the Colony with all the usual ceremony, H.E. the Governor reviewing the Forces stationed here. The spectacle was one of unusual brilliance, and is graphically described in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also records the grant of honours on the occasion of the King's Birthday, to local residents. One gentleman was made Officer of the Order of the British Empire (Military Division), another a Member of the same Order, and Certificates of Honour were awarded to two Chinese residents.

A spectacular fire, which at one time assumed an extremely grave aspect, occurred during the week in a con- gested district in Wanchai, Only smart work by the Fire Brigade prevented very serious loss of life. The affair is exclusively reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

In the Full Court of Appeal an unusual case was heard, in which the actions of a fraudulent agent played a pro- minent part. Prolonged legal argument as to the rights of estoppel, and the meaning of "holding out" ensued, whilst interesting sidelights were thrown on methods of dealing amongst Chinese piece goods merchants in Hong Kong. The ease is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

"Senseless competition" in the marine Insurance field was deplored at the annual meeting of the Union Insurance Society of Canton. The hope was expressed that British underwriters would get together, and unite in maintaining a level of rates. The Society had experienced a good year. in view of the difficult times. A complete report of the meeting appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
