THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30гn, 1901
The tables, perhaps the best advantage. with their snow-white clothe and sparkling crystal, surrounded by a wealth of terus and pains and Lunting without end, presented a spectacle to charm the verisst dyspeptio. On the stage was placed the President's table. Behind it was a group of beautiful plants amidst which was displayed the emblem of the Bocinty, & hage design, On the front of the stage were and more greenery. The front of the dress circle was ornamented with numerous shielde bearing the Scottish Lion, the Thistle, sud tho St. Andrew's Crow, and Burmounted by battle- axes and spours.

ST. ANDREW'S BALL. Each succeeding your sees the St. Andrew's Ball, which took place last night, become more and more.an ontstanding feature in the social life of the Colony. It drives additional in portance, too, by reason of the fact that it serves as an usher to the winter festivities, and is thus doubly welcome-for itself and for that of which it in the harbinger. Its ushership has of course been usurped this your by the Cricket Festival, but that after all seemed to make little difference in the degree of enthusiasm with which the approach of the Ball was hailed or in its ultimatumaccess. Itssuccess was completo. For
"It was unfortunate that the wea her turned the genesis of this great Scottish reunion we have undoubtedly to thank the spirit of patriot. I out to be unfavourable, I reined heavily a d ism and brotherliness which pervades all ranks incessantly from about 7 o'olack till well on of Scotland's sons sad daughters (Southronspast midnight."
It clannishucs) wherever their let is cast. This spirit, be it what it may, is beneficently crystallised in the form of the St. Andrew's Society, under the auspices of which the grand Scottish Hall is held, and were its function no other than the promotion of the assembly-instead of this being merely interlude in its charitable work-it would still be doing a great service. As it is, the Ball serves the useful purpose of keep ing the Society and its objects before the public and of affording a pleasant rendezvous for the meeting of old friends and the making of new ones. And by no means is the fact to be overlooked that it gives us almost the only annual chance to see the kilt and sporran in all their glory. There not many phils. bage in the Colony, St. Andrew's Ball generally brings out the cherished garuments in full strength and undiminished lustre.

As St. Andrew's Day fell this year on a Saturday (to-day) the Ball was held last night -in the City Hall, as usual. The arrangement of the halls was pretty much the same as in St George's Hall and St. formers years. Andrew's Hall were devoted to dancing, the Theatre was transformed into a supper room, and the Library was set aside for cards and light refreshments. In the Chamber of Commerce was also a refreshment bar, while the Committee Room adjoining was atilised for receiving the guests. The scheme of decorations was elaborate and most beauti- fal. As one entered the vestibule, the first thing to attract the eye were the strings of greenery entwining the pillars which flank the approach to the staircase. At the foot of the pillars were clustered pot plants and ferns, and similarly bedecked was the stairway. On the landing, directly opposite the head of the *stairs, wasa bugs mirrorsurmounted by the design of the Scottish thistle flluminated with numerous vari-coloured, tiny electric famps, the whole being placed in relief upon the Royal Standard. The brilliancy of this denigs was enhanced by the reflection in the glass of a circular trophy of burnished bayoneta fixed to the trout of the stair-well and dominated by a massive shield bearing the Scottish Idon. The two windows on each side of the mirror were draped with blue banners, bearing the St. Andrew's Cross in sliver, and round the four staircase panels were suspended shields with similar de vices. Beneath those windows there appeared on
At nine o'clock the gucate began to arrive in numbers, and soon the suito of Lalle presunted an animated spec acle. Ito gather about 500 couples were present. Under the glow of the electric light, the decorations and the moving mass of people, the beautiful dresses of the ladies and the bright naval and military uniforms as seen against the prevail. ing black evening dress of the gentlemen, made up a dussling suseneble; and let us до little hasten to add, one which drow
