by that, how extremely valuable the Chinese company was. Other companies could not give the same help because they were not native of the place. No less than twelve members of the Chinese Company have been commended for special services since the re-organisation | of the Police Reserves.

The least he (Mr. Wolfe) could do was to assist them as far as he could.

Mr. Wolfe then declared the club apan and wished them a happy future and congratulated the organisers and all those who contributed, especially, Dr. To and Mr. Mow Fung (applause).

After the Club had been declared, open by Mr. Wolfe, Mr. Mow Fung proceeded to congratulate Dr. Tao on the honour conferred upon him. Presentation to Dr. Tso

Mr. Mow Fung said that Dr. Tao. and his devotion to the public wel- fare was too well known to require: any eulogy from him, but it was appropriate that he should make special mention of the Special Constabulary organised by Dr. T'so during the strike of 1925. One and all could not help but admire his courage, his singleness of pur- pose and his sincerity of convic tiou,

Members of the Chinese Com- pany heartily rejoiced that their Hon. Commissioner. 'had been honoured by The King. Mr. Mow Fung mentioned that it was a happy coincidence that the cele- brations should fall on Dr. T'ao's birthday. He wished Dr. T'so many more years of health and vigour to continue the splendid work which he had done in the past.

Mr. Mow Fung then asked the Captain-Superintendent of Police to present Dr. T'aq with a silver bowl on behalf of the Chinese Company. The bowl would serve as a memento.of the occasion and a small token of their esteem and respect.

Mr. Wolfe, in making the pre- sentation, endorsed the remarks uttered by Mr. Mow Fung and con gratulated Dr. T'so on his birth- day.

Replying, Dr. T'so sald:

As the Chinese Honorary Com- mlasioner of Police. Reserva I must on behalf of the Chinese Company first of all thank you; Mr. Wolfe, heartily for your kindness in com- ing here to-day to perform the open- ing ceremony of this club. Under

the auspices of your presence and the presence of so many friends and well-wishers at its opening it augurs well for the auccess and prosperity of this Club.

I have also to thank you, Mr. Wolfe, for presenting to me, on behalf of the Members of the Chi- nese Company this beautiful silver bowl which I feel proud to receive from the hands of one who repro sents law and order of the Colony. Whenever I look nt-It I shall be re- minded of the necessity and the duty: of every citizen to fender you every assistance in maintaining peace and good order of the Colony, it is very difficult, indeed, for me, and adequate expressions of the 48 to You and Mr. Mow Fung for, your

“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL" ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

For exhilarating and attractive reading matter, the current issue of the "Overland China Mail" will be hard to beat. There is an abundance of "stories" and articles which will please all tastes.

The last Home mail to hand showed that considerable prominence was given to the "Anking" piracy. This week's "Overland" tells of a dramatic sequela rare event - the prosecution of one alleged to have been a member of the gang. On top of this comes the report of an attack on another British vessel, the "Shasi," on which persons of British. American, French and Chinese nationality were robbed. Then came the news of a wholesale round-up of the miscreants.

Other piracy reports in the "Overland" refer to the steps taken in the West River (exclusive to the "Overland"), the execution on "gentry" receivers, and the clash between Com- munists and the "Anking" horde at Honghai Bay (also exclusive),

In the sphere of politics, there is the rather disturbing cable announcing differences between Britain and France on the one hand and Japan on the other in regard to China's salt administration.

Locally, there has been much of interest; the Colony's improving finances; the new turn taken by the Chinese Government which may adversely affect the foreign carriage of emigrants; the arrival of a British battalion new to Hong Kong: British Naval cruises; session of the Licensing Board; a graphic chase of robbers by a Briton, etc.

Above all, the Overland China Mail" is the only weekly budget of news published in Hong Kong which is illustrated and illustrated profusely.
