THE BRIDGE OF NIKKO,,

The hitcase was a representation of the Bridge of Nikko, which has so frequently been photographed. Along the sides, yellow city anthemums nodded their heads, emitting sweet perfume. The tops of the stair rails were crowned with golden dades after the fashion of the Nikko Bridge, near Tokyo. It was a capital idea to erect in Hongkong a facsimile of the Bridge which is so well known to the residents of the Japanese metropolis, and it will doubtless recall old associations to those of the party to-night who come from the Flowery Land:

... THE PROMOTERS OF THE BALL Allogether the City Hall Buildings have been decorated and embellished on a scale which is unusual for Hongkong. The Japanese com- (munity have proved beyond the shadow of a doubt their capacity for organisation and de- sign, and above all their ability to eclipse the majority of their rivals either in commercial acumen or social functions. In honouring "Whatever the Jap ̧ nese undertake they carry

THE DESIGNERS, P
Mr. H. Yera, photographer, and Mr. M.Aoki of the Mitsui Borsan, Kaisha were the moving spirits in designing and erecting the decora tions.. A quiet of bluejackets from H.H,S. Tamar under Yeoman of Signals Webb render ed assistance, and there was a whole army of Japanese who appeared on the scene from love of Dal Nippon and a determination that the "Mikado Ball" should surpass anything of the sart that has been seen before in ongkong. Where this excellent form of rivalry prevailed the result was a foregone conclusion.

On imp`were the fi gures which mean "Bauzal," and beneath were three characters which signified "Congratula- tions to the Emperor, on the occasion of His Majesty's Birthday." Above were the flag of the Rising Sun and the Union Jack. It will seen that the designers were ever seeking in emphasize the fact of the Anglo-Japanese Alli apce. That seemed to be the guiding, idea of the artists, and he must have been a dull teade of life who failed to recognise the deep satisfaction of the Jupes in Hongkong that the new treaty has been ratified and extended. Around the Emperor's sign-manual were six electric lights in plain white globes, so that the golden sevice was almost the first object that one caught sight of on entering the building.
To understand the position it may be well to state that St. Andrew's Hall was set apart as the bail room; St. Geor,e's Hall was the supper room; the old Chamber of Commerce room was converted into a card loqui, and there were also a reception hall, bar, besides retiring
