These annual per formances of Oratorio which were in- ∙stituted by Mr. Denman Fuller some years ago, have always been popular and more often than not it has not been possible for many of those pre- sent to get seats particularly if they came late. This year although the Stating of the Cathedrat will be con- siderably added to, it will probably be more difficule than has yet been the case, as it is well known that there are now many more people in Hong- kong than has been the case for some years. For the comfort of all gon- cerned, it is hope that those who wish to be present will come in good time as the Oratorio will commence at 9.15 p.m. exactly.
