The weather was very cold on the journey, and the soldiers seemed to feel it pretty badly; indeed while there was tremendous enthusiasm when they left the Canton River, they had lost a good deal af it before they reached Nanking. They dis- embarked in good order and left the ships well under control of their officers to make their way to the front.
USING THE EUROPEAN CALENDAR..
The Chinese newspapers are giving all dates and announcements of any kind accord ing to the European Calendar now, and the new style is being used in most of the offices which are in any way connected with the Government, and in the Schools and Col- leges. Of course, the shopkeepers and trad- ers will not adopt the system until after this Chinese Year is finished, that is, till after February 17th, when they close their books. The end of the year is the great time in China for paying debts, and the man who cannot pay his debis by the Chinese New Year is literally in a dangerous position.
After the opening of the Congress next Saturday an address of welcome will, be de- Hvered by H. E. the Governor. This will be followed by the presidential address by Hon. Dr. Atkinson, whose subject will be "The Progress of Tropical Medicine during the past twenty-five years." Then will come the presentation of the delegates to His Excel leney. In the afternoon a garden party will be held at Government House.
The delegates will be well entertained during their stay here. The various clubs and social organisations in the Colony will throw open their doors to the medical visitors, and at the close of the Congress the delegates will make a visit to Canton. I should be added that a large and influential reception committee has been formed in Hongkong.
