GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
H.E. the Governor. in his address
to the gathering, said:
"It is a great pleasure to me to! open to-day this new block of the Tung Wah Hospital. When I laid the foundation stone of the build- ing in October last referred to the fact that I had on so many occasions had the privilege of testifying to the excellent progress of this Institution that it was difealt for me to find anything now to say. My difficulty has now! grown still greater.
"The completion of this building marks a great step in the history of the Tung Wah. The old build- ing stood for over 60 years, during which time most excellent work was done, but it must be conrded that it had grown out of date and was, in many ways, difficult to adminis ter. There can be no doubt that a new building was called for, and I congratulate both the last and the on their suc- present committees cessfully bringing the re-building scheme to this point. I also con-
gratulate the architect and the contractors on the fine work which they have done.
