A presentation was made by Dr. Wellington, of a beautiful sliver server, from the members of the Medical Department to Dr. Moore, and Mrs. Moore was presented with a lave's decora- tive Teen quartz lamp shade. Following this an illuminated address. signed by all European and Chinese officers of the department, wàs read and presented to Dr. Moore.
