THE LEVEE AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
PRESENTATION OF CORONATION ADDRESSES.
At the time of going to press H.E. the Officer Administering the Government Major General Sir W. J. Gascoigne, K.C.M... is holding a levee at Government House, and addresses from the various sections of the community are being presented for transmission, to His Majesty. There is a large gathering of heads of Government, Naval and Military Depart ments, together with representations of the Coronation Committee and of every section of the Community. A detailed account of the pro- ceedings will appear in aur issue on Monday.
THE ADDRESSES...
We are, however, in a Position to give a description of the addresses presented and they will doubtless be of interest. That from the general community is bound in a red velvet cover, mounted in sa carat gold with the Royal Arms, and an appropriate border specially designed by the enterprising, secretary of the Committee, Mr. E. A. Heelta. The cover, measuring 17" x 12", and the box to contain "the address are both lined with Imperial yellow silk. The address itself is printed on art paper in royal blue and gold letterings, and is sur rounded with a handsome bandpainted border. The Royal initials are made conspicuous with the shamrock, thistle, leek and rose, while on the back-of-the cover are depicted four golden
bats illustrative of a favourable wind.
The address is as follows:-.

YOUR MAJESTY, ...
Whilst from every part of Your Majesty's wide empire rejoicings arise on this the day of Your coronation, we, residents in the far eastern colony of Hongkong, diverse in race, nationality, creed and class, but one in devotion to Your Royal House and Person, respectfully tender our sincerest greetings,

Your Majesty's loving servants and subjects pray Heaven to shower down countless blessings on Your Majesty...

THE EREEMASON'S ADDRESS,
WISE AND OTHERWISE.

long time past. There was a bit of a Butter in Hongkong, and the stripes were greatly in evidence, and rightly so, for had not the "Yank" community to celebrate the great day of Independence, It came as a relief to me, Mr. Editor, for 1 had fully intended to give you a few Coroncites this week, but at they were not very prolific I took another stroll to leam if anything of importance was stirring in the monotonous and mercenary levels. Guess, I ought to have gone bedecked in stars and stripes; everyone with the semblance of a twang sported the old country's banner and felt proud of the bunting. Many saw stars at night, but all enjoyed the festivities.
The address from the members of the Masonic Lodge in the Colony is somewhat similar to that from the general community being heavily mounted in gold with the Royal Arms standing out prominently.

ADDRESS FROM THE CHINESE COMMUNITY. The representatives of the Chinese section of the community bad prepared a very pleas ing address, which is printed on white silk satin, with a bordering of green. The initial lettering is in blue and the remainder in red, all headings and titles being surrounded with dark green filigree work. The address is wound around a silver roller, and will be placed in a gold and silver casket of unique and beautiful design measuring (8" by så" by 6. It rests on a gold dragons head at each comer The bodies extend along the sides of the casket, under a very pretty field of perforated silver bamboo trees. In the midst of these trees are eight smaller gold dragons, two on each side. A moulding of eight gold dragons surround the hinged perforated lid of silver chrysanthemums. There is a little gold plate on the centre of this and on it is inscribed "His Most Gracious Majesty King Edward VII." In the scale this beautiful casket balances some 155. sliver dollars. The silver bottom is the only unperforated portipa.

Presented ta
HIS MAJESTY KING EDWARD THE SEVENTH Of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland by
The Chinese Community of Hongkong. On the twenty-sixth day of the month of June in the year 1902 the ceremony of your Majesty's Coronation will be celebrated. Throughout the circuit of the wide world on whatever place the sun, and the moon shine, wherever by land or by sea the British Flag floats there will not be one household that will not be filled with worship, there will be no one who will not join in singing songs of joy and praise. From far and near all will upite in wishing Your Majesty a long life in in which to make your people happy and
prosperous.
The pen of the readiest writer would fail to give full expression to the feelings of affection and loyalty which stir the hearts of Your Majesty's Chinese subjects in Hongkong. But with a bumble obeisance we venture in this hymn of praise to touch upon what we feel
Divine was the wisdom of Her Majesty the late Queen, She drew men of all nations to her by her kindness: she treated those.from afar with benevolence. Her fame reached to the East and to the West. The innermost hearts of all were moved by it. Not even by the sages of antiquity were her virtues equalled. Your Majesty has inherited. Her Justice and Her wisdom: Eternal good will spring from this succession of vitlues.
Back in the cycle of time, a thousand years and more before the Christ was born, there in the Holy City, was built the temple of Solomon the King. In Nature's earth deep were its. foundations laid, and slowly rose its majestic walls, its stately columns, the gate they called the Beautiful, the exquisite semblances of flowers and fruits and palms, the wondrous roof of gold and spikes of precious metal, wrought and fashioned all by the craftsmen of the time, and tested in their places with the level the plumb and the square. Upwards, ever upwards, under the guiding care of our Grand Master Hiram the Architect did the sacred pile progress, until the work was done and beneath the wings of the sculptured Cherubim rested the Ark of the Covenment in the mansion of the Triune God, Thereafter, from man to man, from the monarch to the serf, from the strong to the weak, from the old to the young, down the path of time Masonry passed through the Acons of the Ages, bearing on its banners the profession of its faith; the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, until jewelled with charity, priceless gem, it reached the Masons of to-day.
So, as the Temple emerged trom disorder to order, from shapeless materials to symmetry. and perfect art, as the Brotherhood grew from its infancy of the past to its manhood of the present, the Monarchy of Britain; has advanced through hundreds of years from the tumults and unrest of the darker ages to the system of right and law which is now Great Britain's heritage. From the Monarchs before the Conquest to the dynasty of the Normans, from the Plantagenets to the Standards of the Roses, from the Tuders and the Stuarts to the Hanoverians, it has been built stone by stone which have borne it through the stress of the and arch by arch, until to-day, on foundations centuries and the burden of everlasting time, with walls which are cemented by freedom and columns which rest on the rock of truth Eng land's Monarchy sits on England's throne, the symbol of justice to all who shelter beneath its flag, and the haven where secure from storms, ride the argosies of humanity laden with all that Man considers his dearest and his best
