Insp. Murphy stated that the medical report was to the effect that the mul tsai had wounds, cuts, and bruises all over her body, and she also had fractured fingers. That was the reason mainly why ball was refused.

BANZAI!

To-day the only local sign of celebration in honour of the birth- day of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Japan is the "dress- ing" of the Japanese vessels in harbour, Abroad the Japanese observe their celebrations quietly and unostentatiously. Yet, looking to the short distance between Japan and Hong Kong and the growth of the Japanese colony here there seems no reason why at least a formal reception could not be held by the Japanese Con- sul-General on the lines of that arranged on the occasion of natal days of other non-British rulers. One cannot, of course, offer to be the guest of a stranger within our gates. That is not social or international etiquette; even so, the friendliness of all within the Colony toward our Japanese re- sidents and the increasing part that the Japanese are taking in sport as well as in commerce. prompts the humble suggestion that on the birthday of Tenno En opportunity should be given of even formally joining in the celebrations.
