The Coronation Celebrations. To-morrow is Coronation Day the day when Hongkong unites with her sister. Colonics in thanksgiving and rejoicing, the day when thoughts turn to the smoky city and the ceremony in the grand old abbey at Westminster. It is an event that has been anticipated for many months, and its. realisation should be the more enthusiastic now that His Majesty has recovered from the serious illness which necessitated a postponement from the date originally fixed. In Hongkong, our scheme of celebrations had been maturing and all was in readiness for the occasion when the wires announced with awful suddenness that the Coronation was postponed inde: A GOOD TAOTAI-It is reported that Tsen finitely owing to the indisposition of the Futai is to be removed to Kuangsi.

Meanwhile, we in Hongkong, have carried out several items of our Coronation pro- gramine, and to-morrow's celebration will bring it to a close. The success of the festivities depends almost entirely on the weather, and unless there is a decided change from what it is at the time of writing, there is no reason for disbelieving that Hongkong will rise to the occasion and worthily celebrate, for the first time in its history, the Coronation of its Sovereign.
