A large crowd had gathered in the streets to witness the arrival of the Royal party at about 12.30. The Duke, who was accompanied by H.E. the Governor, was received by Sir Shou-son Chow, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Dr. Tso, and other prominent members of the Chinese community. A number of Chinese gentlemen had the honour of being introduced to His Royal Highness, who shook hands with them and exchanged a· few words of greeting. Lunch was then served immediately, and in- cluded the usual choice dishes offer- ed on such occasions-birds's nest soup, turtle, shark fins, etc. There were no speeches, but the toast of "The King was duly honoured.

The day's events were luncheon at West Point as the guest of the Chinese community; participation in four races at the Jockey Club's fourth extra meeting, Happy Valley, and then the ceremonious leave taking. His Royal Highness, though he did not win any of the events at Happy Valley, proved again that he is a very fine horseman, and few indeed have done so well at their first attempt on the course with a China pony. A full account of the races appears elsewhere.
