H.E. And Lady Clementi Head Large Gathering to see the congratulatory messages

TARTAN PRIDE

A feast of colour, with kilts and tartans, ladies in the latest creations, and uniforms of the Fighting Services, was the keynote of the convivial Ball in the Peninsula Hotel last night, held by the Hong Kong St. Andrew's Society to usher in to-day's anniversary of the patron saint of all Scotsmen.

H.E. the Governor and Lady Clementi were the guests of honour among a distinguished gathering. They were received by the Chief- tain (Mr. A. H. Ferguson) and the Vice-President (Mr. K. E. Grelg) on arrival and played by the Pipers of the 2nd Battalion the King's Own Scottish Borderers to the official dais at the head, of the main dance hall (the Hotel's roof garden, as described in yesterday's issue, in which many details of the Ball were given).

LANE OF BAGPIPES

In the roof garden, the pipers formed a lane through which the party passed and the National An- them was played prior to those on the platform taking their eats. The ball was unanimously voted to be the most succesful ever held by the Society; and the change of venue from the City Hall was generally approved.

Dancing began with an extra waltz, which was followed by the state lancers. Those taking part In the Chieftain's set and Vice- Chieftain's set were mentioned yes terday, together with the ball pro- gramme. The prolonged applause for the reel dances-thanks to the energy of the Reel Club-was highly deserved. These were pret- tily done. The sight of some Sas- senachs-and other "foreigners"- joining heartily into the eightsome reel (one enterprising Individual studying a book of rules between the steps) created abundant mirth.
