Queen's Road was again a scene of animation and congestion, thanks to the P.W.D. authorities bent on carrying out their im provements at perhaps the worst season of the year. Shops did the usual business of last minute purchases, and this applies to the flower sellers as well. The Cinemas ing Repulse Bay (described else attracted full houses. In the even- where) and the Hongkong Hote! catered for large numbers--and catered well. There was a ball at the City Hall, and numberless private parties, the determination being to ring out the Old and ring in the New in no uncertain fashion. Many with perhaps serious thoughts, spent the immediate interval bow

The mist to somej extent obscured the flash signals at the Observatory announcing the arrival of 1924, but the vessels in and the numerous Harbour, crackers gave oral evidence of the arrival, and for a time good natured pandemonium reigned and wishes were given and reciprocated.

day national garb, or the funereal frock coat and bowler hat added not a little to the picture yesterday. The decorations also, outside Japanese places of business were in keeping with the national spirit. The Chinese seemed also to regard the day as a holiday, and some closed shop realising that for the nonce, shopping cares had been placed on one side. On the Kowloon side there were the usual evidences of the New Year's commencement. The premier club brought joy tä numberless children by holding the usual sports meeting, which was graced by the attendance of H.
