CO129-188 - Governor Hennessy - 1880 [5-6] — Page 229

The Band of Her Majesty's 27th Inniskillings

played at intervals during the banquet. The only toast of the evening was given by Prince

THOMAS of Savoy, who proposed "The health

of Her Majesty the QUEEN of Great Britain and Ireland," and, addressing Prince HEINRICH

added:-"Sir, Your Royal Grandmother." The Band played the National Anthem, and soon after

the party adjourned to the Drawing Room, which

was presently filled with ladies and gentlemen attending the general reception.

The Officers of the 27th Inniskillings, with

Lieutenant-Colonel GEDDES, were amongst the earliest presented. There were also present the Officers of Her Majesty's Navy and of the foreign ships of war in harbour, including the Portuguese man-of-war Tejo which had arrived the preceding evening from Macao to convey His Excellency Signor GRAÇA's compliments and congratulations

to the Governor of Hongkong on Her Majesty's Birthday.

The presentation lasted for more than an hour.

In the course of the reception His Royal Highness

Prince HEINRICH expressed to Mr. SASSOON and

Mr. BELILIOS his regret that he would not be able to travel through India.

He spoke also a few

kindly words to the leading Chinese merchants

Mr. TAN KING-SING, Mr. Li TAK-CHEUNG, Mr. FUNG MING-SHAN, and others.

Their Royal Highnesses withdrew about half-

past ten o'clock.
