A GREAT GATHERING. Yesterday was St. Andrew's Day. Through out the British Empire, indeed throughout the world, in small companies or large assemblies, Scota foregathered to tenone their patron Saint and to enjoy social pleasures. The day is observed in Bostland, but its observance is more pronounced in Boottish communities boyond the Hortoland, and in none does it evoke moro enthusiasm than in Hongkong. Here, in ac cordance with custom which is almost becom Ing a tradition, the members of the St. mencement of dancing, but goseta began to r Andrew's Society celebrate the scossion with so bofore that hour, especially those keen on thoroughness and a hospitality which are an equalled, and not without good reason has the Hongkong St. Andrew's Hall become recognis od as an event, which is without parallel, in the Far East.
It scarcely needs to be said that the ba?? given last night was a brilliant success. No other conclusion edems possible to those who have any experience of Scottish hospitality or organisation Here. There was no falling off in the popularity of the gathering, the attendance was a large us over, the dances proved most enjoyable, the Arrangements wore ideal in short, the same per foot organizatiin which has achieved repeated Buddess was apparent and St. Andrew' Ball of 1910 must be described as one of the most brilliant and most successful in the annals of the Soolaty.
THE DECORATIONS.
Though the decorations were not so elaborate sa on some provions cocasions, very striking results were obtained, and the hall was again distinguished by picturesque and spectacular effects. At the entrance to the City Hall was reared a huge St. Andrew's orass of greenery outlined by electric bulbs, while in the contro on red shield flaunted the lion rampant of Scotland in a blazo of light. Inside was an avenue of plants and shrubsand other greanery, with floral arches, pad the stairway was lined with pot plants, At the first fight, and arresting the eyes of all who entered, was the lion xampant again on a red shield, behind which hung the Royal Standard, On each side of this were suspended drapings, St Andrew's cross on blue ground, and between these again and the shield were the dates-- “1847" and “1910”-indicating the birth and ago of the Society. On the walls were displayed shields, some bearing St Andrew's cress and others the thistle. Overhanging the stairway was a largo flaminated thistle, which with its vari-colured lights, presented a very striking appearance. The walls on the landing were also adorned with the warlike emblems of a spear, battle axe and sword surmounted by the Highland tørge, and bigh up was seen a fine antlered deer's head,-

THE DANCE,'
Nino o'clock was the hour fixod for the com
the activo enjoyments of the evening, and for almost an hour afterwards there was a steady area ascending the stairway, Numbers are difficult to give on such an occasion. Sulles it to say that there was no falling of either in aften- dance or in onthusiast. Though over a thous sad porsons must have been present for the commencement of the programme, the pressure was relieved by the attractions provided in the card rooms and other places adjacent. "Auchter muchtby" was as busy as over, and the beat of The Band of the Baffs again supplied the most of Bootch Whisky and Boatqh, Alo was provided.
