Sir Frederick Lugard.
Among the many Governors who have from time to time been appointed to this Colony, Sir Frederick Lugard, who is leaving to-day on a well earned holiday, will be remembered for the interest he has taken in the educational pro- gress of Hongkong. Coming here after such a popular Governor as Sir Matthew Nathan, whose per- sonality was such a predominant factor, it was thought that Sir Frederick Lugard would lose by omparison, but the man's work has spcken for him, and it is with ex- treme regret that the Colony will bid him farewell for the short period of his absence. Many matters of importance have occurred during the period of his occupation of the post of Governor, and the careful manner in which he steered clear of the many pitfalls, while uphold- ing the best interests of the Colony, will always be placed to his credit. The most conspicuous mark of his progressiveness will be the Hong- kong University, than which there can be no more lasting monument, while his championship of the in- terests of the Colony over the opium question over which he received much opprobrium from the faddists at home, shows the calibre of the nian. May Sir Frederick have a pleasant passage home, there to ecruit his health, and return with restored vigour to once again take upon his shoulders the destinies of the Colony which be has adminis- tered with such conspicuous tact.
H.E. THE GOVERNOR.
"At Home" at Government
Honse.

Government House was thronged with visitors yesterday evening, it being the final "At Home" giver. by H.E Sir Frederick Lugard... All the leading men of the Europeani and Chinese community availed themselves of the opportunity to bid farewell and a safe return to His Excellency, who undoubtedly bears with him the best wishes of all.
The Governor proceeds on his journey north to-day by the Mon- mouth.
