in point of fact, no such collisions as these gentle-
men anticipated between Chinese and Europeans
have ever actually occurred in any place of public
recreation or elsewhere in this Colony. I am
therefore about to suggest again to the committee
of the City Hall the propriety of trying the free
opening of the Museum, say for a limited time,
such as six months, and in that way testing the question which they have raised.
But meanwhile the project which you have put before me to-day will go on. You are enti- iled to have your own Chamber of Commerce, and
you are entitled to have your own Industrial
Museum. I shall do everything in my power to get both for you. And now, gentlemen, I have
only again to thank you for having paid me
your visit to-day and for the address which you
have presented to me. I most cordially wish
all a prosperous year.
