THE MASONIC ADDRESS.
As on his previous visit the Freemasons of Colony wished to signalise the presence ia their midst of such a distinguished member of the craft, and having secured the Duke's per mission a meeting was called for yesterday at half past five at which an address was presented to him. His Royal Highness, who had been delayed by the causes already stated, did not arrive at St. George's Hall ill almost six o'clock. By that time the members to the number of about 6 10 had assembled. The stair way of the hall was beautified with pot plants, etc., while crimson cloth covered the steps. Masonic emblems picked out in electric lights were a feature of the interior of the hall, and two large gilt pillars supporting globes attracted A temporary platform had been some notice. erected, with a canopy surmounting, and here the ceremony of the evening took place. Sir Paul Chater, the Grand Master of the English Distriot Lodge, presided, and was supported by Dr. Jordao, the Grand Mastor of the Sco'tishi Distriot Lodge, while Colonel Aitken acted as director of ceremonies. Sir Paul presented the address to the Most Worshipful Grand Master the Duke of Connaught, and in reply Ilis Royal Highness spoke for about ten minutes Mr. G. Lammert sang as a solo the anthem "Hail Masonry divine," and the special choir which had been trained by Mr. Grimble after- wards rendered the same piece. There was no masonic business transicted, the meeting being in open lodge, and the proceedings terminated in about an hour's time.
DINNER AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
In the evening a dinner was held at Govern- ment House, a guard of honour being furnished by the Middlesex regiment. The gathering, though necessarily limited, was thorougbly representative.
THE RECEPTION.
The reception at Government House which was held after the dinner was attended by many hundreds of residents and numerous representatives of the Army and Navy. Chinese lanterns were hung in great profusion about the grounds and the soft lights reflecting on the glittering uniforms among the gathering orowds enhanced the picturesqueness of the
soepe.
the
Their Royal Highnesses commenced to receive in the ball-room about half past ten. As the guests filed up the room their names were called and they then bowed to Governor who stood on the dais with their Royal Highnesses and in succession shook hands first with Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Connaught, then with His Royal Highness the Duke, and finally with the Princess, afterwards passing out the way they had come in. The reception occupied fully an hour,
troops that were there drawn up. Thence he continued his tour of inspection, and at 12-45 the Duke and his staff together with the 0.0.C. and 遁 large number of military officers crossed to Kowloon. Here they were enter- tained to tiffin by the officers of the Dak of Connaught's own Baluchis at the regimental Mess.

Last night, after his day's inspection of the troops and being entertained at tiffa by the fficers of his own Baluchi regiment, His Royal Highness, accompanied by
the DuchesE,
the Princess Patricia and suite, dined with Admiral Moore on the flagship King Alfred. As the cruiser lay in the harbour, resplendent
with illuminations which stretched from the
waterline to the mastheads, she was the picture of
floating palace, and most certainly the centre of attraction to those on board other
ships in harbour, or the pedestrian who took his evening stroll along the waterfrout.
Shortly before eight o'clock the Royal party left. Government House, their body guard being a pase of police, who accompanied them to Blake Pier where they embarked 01 the Admiral's launch to partake of his hospitality for the evening, leaving again at 10.30 after being entertained right royally.
