The oldest athletic club in the Colony, successfully celebrated its sixtieth anniversary on the 10th of July at its handsome new club house on an extension, adjoining the Naval Yard, of what was formerly Murray Pier.
On the 27th of November the Club Germania commemorated its fiftieth anniversary, a large number of the English community, including His Excellency the Governor, being present.
On the 21st of April Mr. George Murray Bain, who has been aptly called the doyen of the Press in the Far East, passed away after some months of precarious health. Mr. Murray Bain came to the Colony in 1864 as sub-editor of the "China Mail." In 1872 he became proprietor of the paper with which he was successfully and honourably identified up to the time of his death.
