HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR.
(7th November.) Readers will learn with the utmost regret that, as the result of the accident which His Excellency the Governor sustained during a polo match the other day, he has been obliged to cancel all engagements for the present, in- cluding the dinner party which it was pro posed to hold at Government House in celebration of His Majesty's Birthday. The absence of His Excellency from those func tions which are almost inseparable from the celebrations on the occasion of the King's Birthday will rob them of much of that telat with which they are usually attended, forms the supreme representative of the King in the Colony it is His Excellency's privilege ms well as his pride to preside over the various subjects in this isolated outpost of the Empire. As it is, in whatever forms of celebration the community may indulge, there will be an undercurrent of feeling that they lack the responsiveness and glamour which usually attach to them when crowned by the presence of the Governor, who has so
ably filled the gubernatorial chair during the few years of his incumbency in Hong- kopg. Meanwhile, it is satisfactory to learn that His Excellency is progressing favour- ably, but his medical advisers have decreed that absolute quiet for the next few days is essential to his complete recovery. Our readers, we are assured, will be heartily in concert with us in offering sympathy to His Excellency in his inability to take part in the celebrations of the 9th of November, but we trust that he will soon be in a posi tion to attend to his onerous duties with, his wonted vigour and energy.
