with a translation in English. Upon the back of the address was a view of Singa pore from Teluk Ayer Hill, drawn in India ink, upon white silk." The address had no fringe or border, lest it alonid "imply a limit or boundary to the Prince's position." (The wording of the address, by the way, was sensible and had no upícorns in it.) On the 6th Dec, the Maharajah of Johore entertained the Duke in a manner bitherto unknown in the annals of auch entertainment, A special building was erected with any quantity of red cloth, gold and silver ormaments, ei A dinner service of pure silver and gold was used by the Duke, and in a most loyal and sensible speech tho Maharajah proposed the health of his royal guest. A Tiger and Buffalo fight added to the excitements of the day, and everything went off as smoothly as possible Had the Straits Times become extinct on the day follow. ing that date, and postal communication with Hongkong thereafter stopped, we should have seen but the brilliant obr vorse of the medal.
On the 10th, alas, the reverse was to be exhibited. In the "Extra" to hand
by yesterday's mail we are suddenly informed, by the same paper, which was so proud of "the picture of an English officer and gentleman," that the Duke's visit had "not given mach of a fillip to our (Singapore) sentiments of loyalty," "If his visit was intended for the grat fication of his fellow-countrymen jène- rally, then it has emphatically tailed of its object." The chief indictment, a f As we can make out, is that HR. IL did not return his thanks to the Clubs for making him an honorary member during his stay. But as we serve thas this courtesy was extended to the "ward room" oficers only of the Galaten, although it is notorious that many captains refuse to accept the slight thus put upon the junior measca, many of whose members are older than members of the ward-rin
