A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE,

In honour of their Golden wedding anniversary, Sir Robert and Lady Margaret Ho Tung gave a sumptuous party at the Peninsula Hotel on December 2, in the after- noon, and it was largely attended, those present 'including H.E. the Governor and Lady Peel. Sir William, in the course of a speech, referred to the magni. ficent work that both Sir Robert and Lady Ho Tung had done in the cause of charity. Sir Robert, in replying, said it was with great pleasure that he donated $200,000 for children's welfare and education in the Colony. A full report of the celebration is chronicled in, the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Mrs. Helen Wills-Moody, world's champion tennis star, did honour to Hong Kong by visiting the port on December 4, and consented to play in exhibition matches at the Kowloon Cricket Club on December 8.

enormous The latter attracted an

crowd, and the star gave a brilliant display of the art and technique of tennis, E. C. Fincher, the local runner-up of the Singles" championship, beat Mrs. Wills-Moody, in a set that extended to twenty games. A detailed report is furnished in the OVERLAND CHINA MALL.

*

In the early hours of December 5, a village elder was murdered in Chung Uk Village, in the Ping Shan district. The crime was most brutal, and the motive was apparently robbery. The tragedy was first discovered by the deceased's daughter-in-law who entered the house, and found him lying on a bed dead. He appeared to have been dead for some time, as the body was already stiff and cold. From the villagers, the Police investigators, learned that two strange men had been visiting the place on three occasions. A full report of the outrage is contained in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

There was a bright tone at the Thirteenth Extra Race The meeting held at Happy Valley on December 5, dividends paid in some of the events were excellent, Glorious Stag paying over $80 in the first race of the day, whilst Sonny Boy, who was third in the event, paid over $45. In the absence of Apollo, who was not entered, Sitting Bull, again triumphed in the big event, the November Handicap. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives a detailed report of the meet.
