HONGKONG, JULY 15TH, 1908. HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR nightly described the Bazgar which he opened last Friday as an historical event. Undoubtedly the occasion is worth more than passing notice. It is not merely an effort, in the highest degros praiseworthy, to raise money with the laudable object of alleviating the wholesale suffering and distress caused by the floods in South China, but it is an appreciation of Western methods. It is a tribute to the wisdom of the Opcidental, and in paying this compliment to the West the Oriental does not dishonour himself.
