I made no reference to the postscript added by direction of His Exeplluncy, I trust that this way not have reomed discourteous. I bave the same hope in pointing out that the signatories of the at are united in the only opinion ex- presod in it, namely, that the rite in question should be devoted to public purposes,

The news of the death-in London of Mr E. C. Ray at the age of 10, wil bo "received with considerablution :-- regret in Hongkong, where he arrived In 1883. One of the most popular and big-hearted of men he filled a great space in the eanmersial community during the forty-three years of his netive life bore: A keen Mason he rose to be Deputy District Grand Master of Hongkong and South China, besides holding high rank in the cryptic degrees. When he left the Colony for good his health was already beginning to show signs of the inroads which life in these latitudes entails but it was hoped that retirement at Home would mian mapy your extension of a useful and benevolent life. To his ou, still resident amongst us, we extend sicero condolances in the blow which has befallen him.
