As soon as the signatures had been appended the band struck up a stanza of the National Anthem the strains of which had scarcely died away when the boom of the Artillery salute reached the ears of the arsemblage, and punctuated the address of His Excellency, which was as follows :---
GOVERNOR'S ADDRESS.
Gentlemen, I feel very deeply the high honour which our Sovereign has conferred upon ma in calling me to this high office to administer the affairs of this most important Colony, and I feel the deep sense of responsibility which that position carries with it. Whatever success I may achieve will depend solely upon my ability to enlist the cordial support and co-operation, not only of the people and distinguished members of the Colonial Government, but also of those distinguished and experienced merchants and others representing its commercial and business interests; also those who represent the large section of the Chinese population, our fellow subjecte. That co-operation will grow of itself, if we credit each other with the same desire for the welfare of the community, and in the per- formance of our duty as it presents itself to as. It is at once my privilege, and, of course, a misgiving to me, that I should succeed here one of the ablest servants of the Crown, whose devotion to work, high ideals and standards of duty, and exceptional ability make Sir Matthew Natban a difficult man to follow. But it shall be my earnest endeavour, gentlemen, to carry on the administration and to maintain those high ideals and standards of duty so that I may be able to render as good an account of my stewardship when the time comes (applause).
The proceedings in the Council Chamber here terminated, and as His Excellency and suite emerged from the passage of the Government Offices, the guard of honour came to the salute, while the band again struck up the National Anthem.. The gubernatorial party then proceed. ed to Mountain Lodge.
