as all the Chinese here present form; a real true Catholic commezity, a splendid proof that the labours and sacrifices of the Catholic Missionaries: are not made in vain.

The Host (Mr. Simon Tse Yan). who is Chairman of the Chinese Catholic Union, read the following: address-Your Grace, your Lord- ships, Rev. Fathers, ladies and gentle-i men. The Chinese Catholic Com munity of Hongkong, highly honoured by the presence of so many and dis- į tinguished Princes of, the Catholic! Church. wishes to express to your Lordships its bumble thanks for your illustrious visit. This visit is an his-i toric event, the equal of which is on- known in our annals. The Chinese Catholic Community of Hongkong. which, although continuously increas ing, has always been and is still a very small one, feels that it represents to-day the Catholic community of the! whole of China in rendering honour

are the pioneers and the leaders of our holy Faith, you are Missionary Bishops. who have given up friends and home and country for no other purpose than to spread the Gospel of Our Lord. and we have the fortune to be, and to represent those who have been: the object of your missionary cares. You have gathered here in Hongkong for no other purpose than to confer about: the best means of giving new and stronger impulse to your missionary labours, and, as most of you are Bishops of China, we may surely say that your assembling is chiefly, for the greater benefit of our immerse country of China. We therefore, say to you, in the words of old, "Blessed are ye that come in the name of the Lord."

As I have said, we, the Chinese Catholic Community, are but a small minority in this Colony of Hongkong, which, under the security afforded by the British Rag. has grown so large, and prosperous. We feel confident however, that the visit of your Lord ships will mark the beginning of a vigorous increase in our numbers. Proud as we are of the Faith, which, thanks to our missionaries, we may call our common faith, we hope and pray that the attention of our non- Christian brethren, having been called to-day to the visit of your Lordships to us, may be also turned to study earnestly the object of the missionary life of your Lordships and, sequently, result in the end in numer- ous conversions to the true God.

On behalf of those present Mr. Simon Tse Yan wished the Bishops good health and a full measure of suc- cess in their Missionary Conference and labours, and a safe and happy return to their Dioceses

His Grace Archbishop Morel, ol Pondicherry, said he thanked Bishop Pozzoni for his kind words and the hosts for their entertainment. The Bishops were very glad to meet so many Chinese Catholics and to receive so hearty a welcome at their hands. He imagined that many of those pre- sent must have come, originally, from Canton, Macao," and neighbouring places, where French missionaries preached to their forefathers. In that way the Bishops present could claim them as their spiritual children; “Though you are under the pastoral; care of Bishop Pozzoni," said the Archbishop, your forefathers were. under ours.. It is a tie which must last long between you and us. You

The Baneman Opera- Company THE GENERAL ELECTRIC Co. (of China), Ltd.]

will commence a three weeks' season at the Theatre Royal on Thursday evening in "Bran Pie," the great London Prince of Wales' Theatre Success. The Singapore Free Press says →→

The Bandman Opera Company once again pay a welcome return visit to Singapore and it was a large. and appreciative audience which as. sembled in the Victoria Theatre last evening to witness the Company's opening performance, "Bran Pie," the sparkling revue by Herbert Bryan with music by Phillip Braham. Pro- duced in two parts, the programme is composed mostly of dips from the monster bran pie and as the dips were of different shapes and sizes everyone seemed satisfied. No pains had been spared in the mounting of the piece or in the costumes or mechanical effects. In fact rarely has Mr. Bandman staged or costumed his company with such taste and lavishness. Madeline Rossiter is

Miss well-known local favourite, for playgoers here will remember her as the life and spirit of the "Pierrot Pie" Company, "Bran Pie" was well dipped into. Following the "Opening Dip" was "A Ragtime Dip" in which Jack Crichton, and Milsom Brett scored a big success in "A Lesson in Ragtime.” Then followed a "Chinese Dip"- Chong, in which Madeline Rossiter sang the tuneful little melody with charming effect amidst some very pretty scenery, One of the items which brought

roars of laughter was A Disorderly Dip" a skit on a regimental, orderly room in which Eric Masters was the Officer, Dan Mansfield was an "Old Bal" type of Sergeant Major, and Jack Crichton was the prisoner. "A Doggy Dip" caused much merriment, i while Madeline Rossiter's singing of the Vamp Song was very effective. One of the features of the Company is the chorus, and all the ten pieces to be presented during the Company's stay in Singapore are new, full of humour and of the best.

Death has been busy of late" among the old residents of Kobe, and we regret to have to record the pass- ing away of Mr. George Y. Taylor, from pneumonia following influenza, says the Japan Chronicle. Although in his seventy-fourth year, Mr. Taylor had been in good health, and wes out as usual on the previous Sunday. Mr. Taylor came to Japan (Yokohama) in May 1870, and to Kobe some three years later, but his connection with this port was not continuous, having been broken by several trips abroad.

a non-stop fight from China to Japan, Majör Winder, of the famous "Vickers Ann, at Barrow, England, is at pre- sent in Japan.
