The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL carries a complete and last-minute report.
Interesting rulings by the Hong Kong Government as to the conduct of race sweeps in the Colony, are also featured in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, in addition, contains a report of a simple bat impressive ceremony at St. Paul's Hospital, when a Memorial Tablet was unveiled in honour of Dr. J. C. Dalmahoy Allan. It was announced at the same time that a bed had been endowed in the hospital by friends, ~~“to carry on his sterling work in perpetuity,”
An account of the opening of the new Ying Wa Girls' School by Mr. W. W. Hornell, C.I.E., M.A., Vice-Chancellor. of Hong Kong University, is another feature of the current issue of the OVERLAND. CHINA MAIL.
Sport of all kinds are dealt with in the 'OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, which contains cabled accounts of the Inter- port bowls matches in Shanghai, in addition to full reports of occurrences in the local sporting world.
