It was a happy thought which prompted His Excellency the Governor to extend a general in- vitation to the Colony's residents. Evercourteous and considerato to- wards the cosmopolitan commun- ity over which His Excellency pro- sides, he generously throw open the door of Government House to any who might care to express his loyal sontiments towards the Eng- lish reigning monarch in a tangi- bla mannor. Noedless to remark, His Honey's hospitality, was fully taken advantago of and whon His Excelloney has the vari- ous signatures batalan a volume which he intends preserving as A souvenir of the occasion, he will find in it a goodly number of names. As the guests streamed into Government House,llis Excel- Jency roccived their felicitations, after which they passed into the well-kept grounds facing the har bour. The scene hore was truly' onchanting. In the subdued light | of a warmi summer evening, the air was filled with a soft glamour by myrinds of lights in the trees, on the walls, in fact, hore, there and every- whore. On the north face of His Excellency's dwelling, overlook- ing the harbour, were electric devices representing the Crown, Prince of Wales' feathers, with the initials "G.R." on either side. To gain an idou of the lavish display of bright, rod Jan-¦. terns, it will sullice to say that the outline of the north front of the house, urules and cornices was picked out with no loss than 1,000 lanterns. And among all these moved a living throng of all races and all nationalities. "Tho bright| uniforms of the ollicers reloved | the sombre attire of the civiliuns! and the whole effect was indeed entrancing. From Government House, the crowd passed on into tho Botanic Gardons, which had been transformed for the oventful: ocension into a veritablefuiryland. On the terraced slopes of the gardens, hung bright lanterns in nonding rows and the incessant eroaking of the froga in the waters of the fountain helped to almost convince. Arcadian bliss. The fireworks, display was entrusted to our friends the Japanese community. With thoir exquisito taste for which they are so noted and their artistic sense of bounty, they gave a finished display of firotorolies works such as is seldom seen in the Colony. With graceful pre- cision, rookota were sout up in the air all through the evening and while in mid-air they ex- ploded and assumed all sorts of
