Forming into double line at 10.45 they stretched across the Cricket Ground, facing the pavilion, with the Band in the rear. There was a large attendance of the public to witness the ceremony, and the occasion was graced by the presence of a number of ladies.\n\nAt a quarter to eleven H.E. the Governor and H.E. Major-General Digby Barker and their staffs arrived and were received with the usual salute, after which they marched across the field and passed slowly in review the entire front line and returned between the front and rear ranks. At 11.10 the members of the Legislative Council arrived and joined the Governor's party in front of the pavilion. Commodore Boyes was also present. His Honour Mr. E. J. Ackroyd, Acting Chief Justice, the Chairman of the Committee appointed to decide on the form the public recognition of the plague workers' services should take, represented that body.\n\nThe troops having been formed into three sides of a square, the Acting Chief Justice explained the purpose of the gathering and H.E. the Governor addressed the men.\n\nThe ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE (Mr. ACKROYD) said—Your Excellency, our presence here to-day is one of the results of the public meeting held in the City Hall, under your Excellency's presidency, in September last. At that meeting it was resolved that the services rendered to the colony during the plague epidemic which raged here a few months ago were worthy of public recognition, and a large and influential Committee was appointed to carry out the wishes of the meeting.\n\nThat Committee having carefully considered the great assistance which the colony had received in its time of distress from the military were desirous that each of the officers and men who had been engaged in plague work should receive some mark of the Colony's recognition and appreciation of their services and that a record of the same should remain in the Regiment and at the Hongkong Mess of the R.E.\n\nThey therefore decided to award certain medals and pieces of plate, which I need not detail as your Excellency has a full list of them. The Committee very much regret that it has been impossible to get these medals struck here or to procure at once suitable pieces of plate, but all the necessary orders have been given and we hope to be in possession of these in two or three months.\n\nThe Committee also suggested that your Excellency should be asked to publicly thank the officers and men of the Shropshire Regiment and other corps for their services. As I have already said, we regret very much that we are unable to present the medals and pieces of plate to-day; their absence naturally deprives this ceremony of something of its interest and importance.\n\nIt therefore only remains to me as Chairman of the Committee to thank Your Excellency for your kindness in accepting our suggestion, and attending here to-day, and to ask your Excellency on behalf of the community of Hongkong to convey to the officers and non-commissioned officers, and men of the garrison who volunteered and took part in the plague work the hearty thanks of the community for their devoted and valuable services, to express our sincere and best wishes for their prosperity, and assure them that we shall follow with the liveliest and most grateful interest their future career and welfare.\n\nHis Excellency said—Gentlemen, non-commissioned officers and men, I have been asked to thank you publicly on behalf of the community for the valuable services which you rendered to the Colony during the plague. I do so with great deal of pleasure. Your conduct during that trying period was courageous, charitable and even noble. It properly elicited from the Government and from the community of Hongkong feelings of admiration and gratitude.\n\nYou may depend upon it that the residents of Hongkong will never forget the gallant Shropshire Boys and their comrades in arms who came to their aid so nobly at that critical time. (Applause). It is their wish that you should not forget them, and therefore they desire to make some suitable acknowledgment of your services.\n\nI will now read to you a list of the presentations that will be made: In memory of your gallant Captain Vasey, who laid down his life for others, it is intended to erect a tablet or window in St. John's Cathedral and a gold medal will also be sent to his sorrowing mother. (Applause).\n\nTo your gallant Colonel, Colonel Robinson, a piece of plate will be presented. (Applause). Another piece of plate will be presented to the Officers' mess. Gold medals will be presented to the following officers—Major W. Maclaughlin, Captains G. U. L. Buchanan, H. B. Walman, and E. Howell, Lieuts. R. A. Jordan, J. A. Strick, and E. B. Luard, and Second Lieut. W. J. Robinson. All these officers were at work from the beginning of the epidemic.\n\nGold medals will also be given to Major A. F. A. Lyle, Capt. J. G. Forbes, Lieut. J. C. Wilson, and Second-Lieut. R. T. Carreg, of the Shropshire Light Infantry. To your Sergeants' mess it is intended to present a silver shield. To the Companies will be presented a cup for competition at football, and to each of you men will be given a silver medal.\n\nThe community has also subscribed for a piece of plate for the R.E. Mess, and a separate piece will be given to that gallant Royal Engineer, Lieut. Boys. (Applause). The piece of plate to the mess will bear the names of Capt. W. R. Stewart, Lieut. P. B. Molesworth, Lieut. R. H. H. Boys, and Lieut. Kelsall.\n\nI regret that these pieces of plate and medals are not completed, but I shall have much pleasure in forwarding them to you in a few weeks' time. As I have already said, they are presented to you by a grateful community. In the name of the people of Hongkong I thank you again for your courageous services.\n\nWe are sorry to part with those who are shortly going to leave us, and we wish you health, happiness, and good fortune in India or in any other station to which you may be sent. (Loud applause).\n\nColonel ROBINSON—Your Excellency, on behalf of all the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, present and sick, I thank you for the very kind words you have used. When we were asked to help the Colony and the men were informed that their services might be required, there was not a single man in this Garrison who would not have stepped forward to give his assistance.\n\nWhen I called for volunteers from my own regiment, there were so many that I had not to touch a single man in garrison or regimental employ; and when cases of plague occurred among the workers this did not deter the men, who came forward as readily as ever.\n\nI thank Your Excellency for your kind words and for your kindness in coming here and the community for granting these medals, which, I am sure, will be highly valued by every man in my regiment.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-264 - Governor Sir Robinson & Public Offices - 1894 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369183, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-287 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "page_number": 359, "title": "CO129-287 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "content_text": "# DOMESTIC\n\nSir,\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n**Commander Smith-Dorrien to the Commodore at Hong Kong**\n\nWuchow, July 14, 1898.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that I arrived here on the 13th July, and beg to forward the following facts which I have gathered from Her Majesty's Consul at this port (Mr. Hosie) as to the rebellion which has taken place in the Kwangsi Province :-\n\n1. On the 28th June the city of Yung Hsien, situated 70 miles south-west of Wuchow, fell into the hands of rebels, and was sacked. Next day the large market town of Tung Hsu and district city of Peilin was taken and departmental city of Yulin. These cities are situated in the richest agricultural area of Kwangsi. The origin of the outbreak is attributed to scarcity caused by the export of rice, for which these districts are famous.\n\nThe rapidity with which city after city has fallen gives rise to the belief that it is more than a local riot. The number of the rebels are here estimated as from 10,000 to 20,000, though this number is probably exaggerated. It is anticipated that they will march westward to Nanning, or else northward in direction of Kuilin.\n\n2. The following Chinese troops have been sent to the front:-- \n| Location | Number of Troops |\n| --- | --- |\n| Koachow | 2,000 |\n| Canton | 1,000 |\n| Kuilin | 200 |\n\n3. Wuchow is protected by 200 Chinese soldiers, mostly unarmed. Hundreds of volunteers have been enrolled, and these men, armed with lamps, horns, whistles, and a few old rifles, assemble every evening and patrol the streets. Such a sight is almost incredible. The city wall is being repaired. On the 7th July some headless bodies were seen floating down the river, six of them being picked up here and buried. Much panic has existed in Wuchow, and hundreds of Chinese have left for Canton. There is a small guard of soldiers on top of a hill on the look-out for the rebels advancing, though the chief fear of the authorities here is a rising amongst the rowdies of the town, which might take place in case of rebel successes.\n\n4. I am given to understand that the arrival of Her Majesty's ship \"Tweed\" has greatly calmed the minds of the people. I propose remaining here for the present till authentic news comes from the area of disturbance.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) A. H. SMITH-DORRIEN.\n\nP.S.-The following news has just been received: Hsing Yeh was captured by the rebels on the 9th July. Siege of Yulin has been raised. Kiu, on the left bank of the West River, is threatened. 1,000 troops have moved forward to defend Kiu. 1,000 troops have occupied districts of Yung Hsien and Ting Hsu. District city of Peilin has been retaken. Rebellion has been instigated by Secret Society called the Triads. It is reported that Pinglo and Yungan are disaffected, and that they are preparing to join the rebels. One headless corpse floated past the ship this afternoon, 6 P.M., 14th July.\n\nA. H.

First the Archbishop of Canterbury, him, presents his Majesty to the people, that divers great Officers of State going along with they may recognise him, and acclaim him by their voices as their King. \n\nHongkong, the proud boast of whose citizens is that it yields to none in loyalty to the Throne, demonstrated this sentiment yesterday in a manner which was as thorough as it was striking. The uncertainty of the weather conditions interfered somewhat with the programme of celebrations and with the scheme of decorations and illuminations, but nevertheless the community entered into the spirit of the historic occasion and gave to the national event that veneration and respect which was due from all patriotic subjects of a great Empire. The day was a public holiday, so that practically everyone had an opportunity of viewing the various celebrations and enjoying the scenes of animation in the decorated streets. The children, as was befitting, were given reason for remembering the historic occasion. Not only were the scholars given medals and instructed in the Governor's address as to the meaning of the Coronation, but they had opportunities of viewing brilliant scenes on land and on sea the like of which will probably not be witnessed for some time. From morning till night the streets were thronged, and the volume of traffic was perhaps greater than has been experienced in Hongkong on any previous occasion. In these circumstances it is pleasant to relate that no mishap occurred to mar the proceedings of the day.\n\n## THE SERVICE AT ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL\n\nThe religious aspect of the Coronation was emphasised by the impressive service at St. John's Cathedral. The service was attended by a congregation which was thoroughly representative of the Colony, and as the accommodation was limited admission was by ticket. Shortly after ten o'clock ticket-holders began to take their places, and before eleven o'clock practically every seat was occupied. H.E. the Governor, accompanied by Captain Mitchell-Taylor, A.D.C., and Captain Simson, private secretary, was present, as were H.E. Major General Anderson, C.B., Commodore Eyres, R.N., and others in the nave including the members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, the Consuls and other representatives of Foreign Powers, Naval and Military Officers, members of the Coronation Celebrations Committee, and a number of Chinese residents. Upwards of seventy Freemasons in regalia were also present.\n\nDuring the assembling of the congregation Mr. Denham Faller played the following selections on the organ: Elgar's Imperial March, Wesley's Choral Song and Fugue, and Air and Variation by Smart. There was a large body of surpliced clergy, including some Chinese ministers, and as they proceeded up the aisle \"O God our help in ages past\" was sung as a processional hymn. The procession was constituted as follows: Rev. F.T. Lake, boys of the choir, gentlemen of the choir, Rev. C.H. Hickling, Rev. W.W. Rodgers, Rev. C.B. Shanu, Rev. A.B. Thornhill, Rev. C.E. Thompson, Rev. W.H. Hewett, Rev. C.N. McKenzie, Rev. S.W. Payne, Rev. W.H. Foster-Pegg, Rev. H.O. Spink, Rev. Fong Yut San, Rev. A.D. Stewart, Rev. F.T. Johnson, his Lordship the Bishop.\n\nII. Then after prayer to God, such as we ourselves have now made, the King takes a solemn Oath to govern his people according to the Laws and Customs of the Realm; to cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all his judgments, and to protect the Church.\n\nIII. Thereupon after solemn prayer for the presence and blessing of God the Holy Ghost, the King is anointed with holy Oil upon his head, his breast, and his hands, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; forasmuch as Kings, Priests, and Prophets of old were after this manner made and consecrated to teach and govern the people of Israel; and the Archbishop says over him this blessing: \n\n\"Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who by his Father was anointed with the Oil of gladness above his fellows, by his holy Anointing pour down upon your Head and Heart the blessing of the Holy Ghost, and prosper the works of your Hands: that by the assistance of his Holy Spirit you may worthily rule the people committed to your charge in wealth, peace, and heavenly grace; and after a long and glorious course of ruling this temporal kingdom wisely, justly, and religiously, you may at last be made to partake of an eternal kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord.\"\n\n\"As you are this day solemnly invested in the government of this earthly kingdom, so may you be sealed with that Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of an heavenly inheritance, and reign with him who is the blessed and only Potentate, to whom be glory for ever and ever- Amen.\"\n\nIV. Then is His Majesty invested with the Ensigns of his kingly state. First he is clothed with royal vestments; and then he receives the Sword of Justice, brought from the Altar of God, and delivered to him by the hands of the Bishops; and when he is girded therewith, the Archbishop says: \n\nWith this Sword do justice, stop the growth of iniquity, protect the holy Church of God, help the weak, comfort the feeble, defend widows and orphans, restore things that are gone to decay, maintain what is restored, punish and reform what is amiss, and confirm what is in good order: so that by doing these things you may be glorious in righteousness, peace and charity, and abound in the love of God, and reign with Jesus Christ in this life, that you may reign with him in the life which is to come.\n\nNext he receives the Sceptre with the Cross, the ensign of kingly power and justice; and the Sceptre with the Dove, the rod of equity and mercy, with this injunction: \n\nBe so merciful that you be not too remiss; so execute justice that you forget not mercy. Punish the wicked, protect and cherish the just, and lead your people in the way wherein they should go.\n\nAnd then the Crown is brought from the Altar after prayer to God; and the Archbishop reverently puts it upon the King's head. And the people at the sight thereof with loud and repeated shouts cry, GOD SAVE THE KING. And after that, the Archbishop goes on and says: \n\n\"God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness, that by the ministry of this our benediction, having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of Him whose kingdom endureth for ever. Amen.\" Last of all, the Holy Bible is brought from off the Altar, and delivered to the King by the Archbishop and Bishops with the words: \n\n\"Our gracious King: we present you with this Book, the most valuable thing that this world affords. Here is wisdom; this is the royal Law, these are the lively Oracles of God.\"\n\nV. The King having been thus anointed and crowned, and having received all the ensigns of royalty, the Archbishop solemnly blesses him, and with him all his people; and every part of the Benediction is followed with a loud and hearty Amen.\n\nVI. And after this the King goes to his Throne, and is placed therein, with the prayer that God will establish his Throne in righteousness, that it may stand fast for evermore; and the Bishops, the Princes, and the other Peers do their homage to his Majesty.\n\nVII. Then follows the solemn anointing and crowning of her Majesty the Queen; and after that, the King and Queen draw near to God's Holy Table to receive the Holy Communion, putting off their crowns before the Altar. The Te Deum is sung, as a hymn of praise to Almighty God, who hath shewn mercy to our Sovereign and his people, in thus setting him on the Throne of his ancestors.\n\nAt the end of this great and solemn service, Pray we, therefore, brethren, both now and in the days to come, that the same Lord God Almighty will by the continual assistance of his heavenly grace enable him to fulfil the high responsibility of his sacred trust.\n\nThe following special Prayer for the King and Queen was said:— \n\nO Lord our God, who upholdest and governest all things by the word of thy power: Receive our humble prayers for our Sovereign Lord King George; and as thou dost this day set a crown of pure gold upon his head, so let thy wisdom be his guide and thy strength be his arm; let truth and justice, holiness and ... in all virtue, and so faithfully serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this life, that you may reign with him in the life which is to come.\n\nThen the King, rising from the chair of his Coronation, ungirds his Sword, and going to the Altar, offers it there to God from Whom he has received it.\n\nAfter the chanting of Psalm 122 the proper lesson (I. S. Peter i 13-18) was read by the Rev. C.H. Hickling, Pastor of the Union Church. Then the Litany was intoned by the Rev. A.B. Thornhill and the choir. The Anthem was taken from Psalm xxvi. 3, 6 and 7. It was excellently rendered by the choir, the treble solo being taken by Master Martin.\n\nThen he receives the Ring, the ensign of the kingly dignity and of defence of the Catholic Faith; and the Archbishop says: \n\n\"Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness: Give ear, we beseech thee, to our prayers, and multiply thy blessings upon thy servant Mary, consecrated in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, this day to be our Queen; defend her evermore from all dangers, ghostly and bodily, make her a great example of Virtue and piety, and a blessing to this kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, O Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end. Amen.\"\n\nThe Te Deum was sung, and the service ended by the congregation all joining in the singing of the National Anthem.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 432230, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7]", "page_number": 438, "title": "CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7]", "content_text": "## ROMAN CATHOLIC SERVICE\n\nSimultaneously with the service at St. John's Cathedral, a special service took place at the Roman Catholic Cathedral. The spacious building was filled with a devout congregation, and the proceedings were of a solemnity and impressiveness that affected all worshippers and helped them to realise the importance of the great event. Low Pontificial Mass was celebrated by his Lordship Bishop Pozzoui, assisted by Monsignor P. de Maria, Rev. L. Robert, and Rev. Father Noval, while the Rev. G. M. Spada and the Rev. A. Placzek were Masters of Ceremonies, the former acting for the clergy and the latter for the congregation. The order of service was as follows:\n\n* Coronation March, Rich Eilenberg, by members of the Sociedade Philharmonica, conducted by Prof. F. Gonzales.\n* Mass of the Day with collect for the Elected King.\n* During the Mass the following music was rendered:\n\t+ Veni Creator, German Core, by the Cathedral choir and friends.\n\t+ Andante Religioso, Francis Thome, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\t+ Sanctus, Perosi, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Largo e Mesto, Beethoven, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n* During the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the following hymns were sung:\n\t+ O Salutaris, Webb, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Te Deum, Gregorian, by the choir and clergy.\n\t+ Tantum Ergo, G. Mercanti, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Laudate Dominum, by the choir and friends.\n* The service closed with the singing of \"God save the King,\" by the choir, clergy, and congregation, accompanied by the band of the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\n## THE JEWISH SERVICE\n\nAt the special service held in the Ohel Leah Synagogue, the following prayer was offered after the sermon and the opening of the Ark:\n\nAlmighty God and everlasting King! From the place of Thy habitation Thou lookest upon all the indwellers of the earth. By Thee kings reign and princes rule. Thou establishest their throne, and in Thy hand is their glory and their might.\n\nPrayer for the King and the Royal Family,\n\nMay He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto princes, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, Who delivered His servant David from the hurtful sword, Who maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters - may He bless, protect and exalt our Sovereign Lord, King George, Our Gracious Queen Mary, Alexandra, the Queen Mother, Edward, Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family.\n\nMay the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy preserve the King, guard him, and deliver him from all trouble, sorrow and hurt. May He make his enemies fall before him, and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he prosper. May the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy put a spirit of wisdom and understanding into his heart and into the hearts of all his counsellors, that they may uphold the peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and deal kindly and truly with all Israel. In his days and in ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely; and may the Redeemer come unto Zion. O that this may be His will, and let us say, Amen.\n\nThe Ark was then closed.\n\n## THE PARSEE SERVICE\n\nAlmost all the members of the Parsee Community were present at their Club premises at the corner of Elgin and Shelley Streets at 4 p.m. in the afternoon for a religious service. A special prayer was recited by the Priest, the whole congregation remaining standing. The following is the translation of the prayer from Gujarati:\n\n1. Blessed be the name of Holy Abura-Mazda! Almighty Abur-Mazda, Holy, Heavenly, Pure; give ear, we beseech Thee, to the prayers of Thy Mazdayaçnian servants, and satisfy us with Thy Mercy.\n2. Receive our heartfelt thanks, O Almighty God, that Thou art pleased this day to set a peerless crown upon the head of our Gracious Sovereign, King Emperor George.\n3. Vouchsafe to him, Merciful Creator, Thy majesty. Thou hast set Thy servant, George, upon the throne of his fathers. Thou knowest his heart, that it has ever been his desire and happiness to seek the welfare of his people and to execute Thy laws in the land.\n\nBehold, the day hath come that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it, the day on which he has been anointed King, when the crown of sovereignty has been placed upon his head, the day when he lifted up his hand to heaven and took the oath, that he would rule over his people according to the Statutes of the realm, and cause Law and Justice in Mercy to be executed.\n\nTherefore we have come into Thy house, and worship toward Thy holy temple. Hearken unto the voice of our cry, our King and our God, for unto Thee do we pray. May it please Thee to bless our Sovereign Lord the King: O God, save the King! May the King live! May the King live for ever! May Thine arm strengthen him to bear the heavy yoke of governance.\n\nEven as Thou hast set a diadem of fine gold upon his head, so crown him with honour and glory, with mercy and loving-kindness. Anoint him with the oil of gladness. Vouchsafe unto him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and fear of Thee, so that all the nations that dwell beneath his sceptre, the sceptre of righteousness, may abide in peace and tranquillity.\n\nPour out the riches of Thy heavenly goodness upon Queen Mary, who standeth at the right hand of the King in gracious majesty. Verily on her tongue is the law of kindness. Her eyes are upon the poor and upon those that are bruised in spirit. Her heart goeth out to those that are stretched upon the bed of languishing. Give her the desire of her heart, and do not withhold the request of her lips. Bless the Queen Mother, Heir Apparent, and all the members of the Royal House.\n\nWithdraw not, we beseech Thee, Thy loving-kindness from this realm. Shield the indwellers thereof. Remove from them pestilence, sword, famine and sorrow. Spread the days when peace will flourish throughout the world, when the earth will be full of the knowledge of Thee, as the waters cover the sea.\n\nGrant unto our Sovereign Lord the King, the spirits of heavenly piety, as also Thy spirit of wisdom for his guide and Thy arm for his strength, so that in his godliness, and in his unfained spirit of wisdom and strength, Justice, Truth, Peace and Love may flourish in his days to promote the well-being, solidarity and unity of his various subjects of all classes and creeds.\n\n4. We pray unto Thee, O Merciful Mazda, to bestow upon our illustrious Sovereign splendour and glory, health, vigour and victoriousness of body, wealth which may bring all prosperity, a long line of descendants gifted with intelligence, a long life and the best, brilliant and glorious life of the Pious.\n\n5. We beseech Thee, O Bountiful Giver of all Good, to be favourable to our ruler, and to bestow of Thy bounty upon his head the full blessings of the annihilation of famine and pestilence wherever prevailing in his wide dominions, and to endow, in his vast Empire, the happiness and cheer of fruitful peace and gladsome plenty.\n\n6. We supplicate Thee, O Merciful Creator, to crown the fulness of his days with the fulness of Thy divine blessings, grace and love, and receive our humble prayers, O Almighty God, that those and all Thy other gifts may be long continued, and crown him with immortality in the life to come.\n\n7. Listen, we pray Thee, to this earnest invocation of Thy servants of the Zoroastrian faith in Hongkong, and grant us our wishes.\n\n8. Merciful and Gracious Abura-Mazda, we again beseech Thee to give ear to our prayers and to extend Thy divine blessings, favour and love, out of Thy bounteous grace, upon our Gracious Queen Mary.\n\n[June 22, 1911]\n\n## THE PUBLIC MEETING\n\nThe public meeting to endorse the telegraphic addresses to be sent to Their Majesties took place in the City Hall shortly after noon. As was to be expected, the building was taxed to its utmost, all sections of the community being represented in the large gathering. Among those present were the American Delegates from Manila, who were accompanied by Captain Agg, K.O.Y.L.I. Sir Francis Piggott, Chairman of the Coronation Committee, on the entrance of His Excellency, proposed that the Governor preside over the meeting.\n\nHis Excellency then said: - Ladies and gentlemen, - To-day in both hemispheres, in every part of the world, and in every sea where the British flag flies, the subjects of our King are uniting to do homage and to wish him prosperity in his Coronation. They testify their loyalty and reverently and earnestly express their hopes that his reign may be long, prosperous and peaceful. To-day the Crown of his ancestors - that Crown which is the symbol of unity of the Empire - will be placed upon his head in the historic hall where a long line of British kings have been crowned, with all the pomp and circumstance of the old-time ritual. We in Hongkong do not come second to any British community in our loyalty to our King and the Throne. (Applause) We are celebrating to-day this historic event with rejoicing and with prayer. We desire to transmit to His Majesty our expressions, our heart-felt good wishes and congratulations, and our desires for his long and prosperous reign. I have, therefore, asked you to meet here in the City Hall to-day that you may hear the telegrams and addresses, and may approve them which it is proposed to send.\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils, in joint session with the Judges, send the following telegram:\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils of Hongkong, and the Judges of Hongkong, on behalf of Your Majesty's subjects in the Colony, beg most humbly to offer their loyal and respectful congratulations to You on the Occasion of the Coronation of Your Majesty as King and Emperor, and of Her Majesty Queen Mary. We pray that the event which is celebrated to-day may inaugurate a long and glorious reign for Your Majesties and an era of happiness, prosperity and honourable peace for Your Majesty's Kingdom and Empire.\n\nThe Coronation Committee, on behalf of the community, and on behalf of every race and nationality, has submitted the following telegram:\n\nHis Majesty's subjects in Hongkong present their loyal homage to the King, and the people of other nationalities within the borders of the Colony join with them in offering respectful congratulations to Their Majesties and in wishing them a long and happy reign.\n\nThe Chinese community propose to lay before the King at his Coronation at Delhi, which I hope to attend, a beautifully embroidered scroll expressing their loyalty and good wishes. The translation will be read to you presently by Mr. Chan Kai Ming.\n\nI may add that I received this morning by mail intimation from the Secretary of State that it was the intention of the King to present to this Colony portraits of himself and the Queen. (Applause)\n\nHis Excellency then asked the gathering to express their approval by holding up their hands. There was a full show of hands.\n\nMr. Ng Hon Tsz then read the Chinese address in the vernacular, and Mr. Chan Kai Ming read the translation in English as follows:\n\nTO HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY GEORGE THE FIFTH\n\nBy the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, Supreme Lord in and over the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\nAll the Chinese subjects and Chinese residents in Hongkong with uplifted hands and bowed heads dutifully present this address.\n\nBoth speakers were warmly applauded. Hon. Dr. Ho Kai asked His Excellency to present the embroidered copy of the address bound in red morocco to H. M. The King.\n\nOn the call of His Excellency three hearty cheers were given for the King, and the meeting dispersed.\n\n## ADDRESS FROM THE FREEMASONS\n\nThe Masonic bodies in Hongkong are sending the following address:\n\nTo HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY KING GEORGE V - By the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.\n\nThe Order of Freemasonry was cradled in that divine Faith whereof Your Majesty is the Defender, and is founded on the purest principles of piety and virtue. It teaches those heavenly principles of our duty to God, our duty to our neighbour, and our duty to ourselves, and reminds us of the constant need in our daily life of the practice of those truly kingly attributes Benevolence and Charity.\n\nThe Freemasons of this remote District rejoice greatly therefore that Your Majesty has been graciously pleased to become the Grand Patron of our Charities, and that Her Majesty the Queen has consented to be their Grand Patroness.\n\nLoyalty, Fidelity and Obedience have ever been among the watchwords of our Orders, and Your Majesty has no more devoted subjects than those who range under our banners.\n\nMay the Great Architect of the Universe grant, in His infinite wisdom, that Your Majesty's life may exceed the span of man's allotted term and that Your reign may be blessed with every Happiness for Your Majesty, for our beloved Queen Mary and for the members of Your Royal Family, and with Peace, Joy and Prosperity for Your Majesty's loyal subjects in all lands.\n\n## THE ROYAL SALUTE\n\nAt noon the warships in the harbour, both British and foreign, and the shore batteries, joined in a royal salute.\n\n## THE CORONATION PARADE\n\nOwing to the unsettled state of the weather, the review which was fixed to take place at 8 a.m. yesterday was postponed until the afternoon. The postponement proved propitious, for the rain held off and the parade was participated in and watched under pleasant weather conditions. A cloudy sky obscured the sun's rays and minimised the heat. An exceptionally large crowd surrounded the race course, and the quantity of bunting displayed gave the Valley the holiday appearance which it wears during race week. The troops were massed in the enclosure, and as they went through their preliminary evolutions presented an imposing appearance.\n\nAt four o'clock His Excellency the Governor arrived, and a royal salute was fired by the guns of two batteries, one stationed at the north, and one at the south end of the enclosure. His Excellency, accompanied by Major-General Anderson, Colonel St. John, Major Tulloch, Captain Grotton, Commodore Eyres, Captain Taylor, Captain Simson and an Indian A.D.C., inspected the troops and then returned to the saluting base. Preparations were made for the march past, and when all was in readiness the order was given, and to the strains of \"Sons of the Sea\" and regimental airs the naval brigade and the different regiments marched past in column.\n\n| Unit | Strength |\n| --- | --- |\n| Royal Marines | 513 |\n| Royal Navy | 176 |\n| Royal Garrison Artillery | 407 |\n| H.K.S.B., B.G.A. | 209 |\n| Royal Engineers | 175 |\n| K.Y.L.I. | 422 |\n| 8th Rajputs | 708 |\n| 126th Baluchis | 713 |\n| Total | 3,468 |\n\nAfter the march past the European troops were formed into a hollow square around the saluting base, with the K.O.Y.L.I. band near the flagstaff. His Excellency read the messages of congratulation and loyalty which were forwarded to the King, and then the troops raised three hearty cheers to His Majesty which reverberated among the hills.\n\nAn impressive drum head service followed. To the music of the K.O.Y.L.I. band the troops and the spectators joined in the hymn, \"O God, our help in ages past.\" Lessons were read and prayers offered by naval and military chaplains, and the service closed with the singing of the first verse of the National Anthem, in which thousands of voices joined.\n\nThe Indian regiments then gave three lusty cheers for the King, after which the troops, four deep, marched through the city to barracks.\n\n## ENTERTAINING THE CHILDREN\n\nThe school children were entertained in their various schools yesterday morning. The address of H.E. the Governor, in which he appropriately referred to the lessons of the Coronation, was read, and the medals were distributed to the children, after which they were treated to refreshments, etc.\n\n## THE DECORATIONS\n\nThe decorations were on a most extensive scale. In the harbour practically every vessel was beflagged from stem to stern, and foreign merchantmen joined with British in making a display of bunting. The Monmouth, Astræa, Flora and Tamar had a profusion of bunting, and the visiting American and Japanese gunboats contributed to the colour scheme on the water.\n\nAshore the principal decorations were on the water front, in Queen's Road, and at the various barracks. In the city the centre of attraction was Statue Square. Here various coloured standards had been erected, and from these were suspended festoons of greenery, each standard also bearing a green circle of foliage. Bannerettes also fluttered in the breeze. The buildings facing the harbour were embellished with the national colours, Japanese lanterns, etc., while practically every office showed a flag. As usual the Chinese made a brave display, and the quaint arches erected in various parts of the city were very striking indeed.\n\n## ILLUMINATIONS\n\nThe buildings on the water front and in Queen's Road were covered with lanterns which showed up very effectively. York Buildings had a beautiful frontage of red lamps, and the buildings along the Praya had their illuminations which added to the general effect. On Kowloon side the illuminated arch was very conspicuous, but the most picturesque sight was presented by the warships which were outlined with lights, the American ship _Ralston_ introducing a striking contrast with red lamps. The _Fatshan_ was hung with lamps, and smaller craft had their illuminations also. The grand scheme of illumination will not be seen until to-night.\n\nChinese fireworks were set off from the Parade Ground and in front of the Hongkong Club, and Japanese fireworks from the Public Gardens. The pyrotechnic display appealed to all sections of the community and was greatly appreciated.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 448640, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-412 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [7-8]", "page_number": 346, "title": "CO129-412 - Governor Sir May - 1914 [7-8]", "content_text": "MAX\n\n336\n\nand the Commodore.

S. O. M.F. 237.\n\nThe Dominion of Canada cordially associates herself with the Crown Colony of Hong Kong by participating in the British Empire Fair which is opening to-day. It is gratifying to the Canadian Government, and particularly to myself, as Minister of Trade and Commerce, that Canada has been accorded such excellent facilities for thus displaying before the citizens of Hong Kong and South China samples of her natural products and manufactures, with a view to further extending inter-Imperial trade between these two sections of the British Commonwealth of Nations. It is particularly fitting that this Fair should open on May 24th, the anniversary of the \"Mother of the Empire\", the late Queen Victoria, and a day celebrated throughout the British Empire as indicative of its solidarity and its devotion to the Crown.\n\nThe Crown Colony of Hong Kong and the Dominion of Canada have much in common. It was in 1841, during the reign of Queen Victoria, that Hong Kong became a Crown Colony and began to flourish under the Union Jack. It was in the same year that Canada had its first democratic government. Direct steamship services between Canada and Hong Kong provide a means of greatly increasing the volume of trade between, and linking closer together, these at one time distant parts of the Empire. Their products and manufactures are to a large extent complementary, and it is to the advantage of both countries that this trade should be considerably increased. Hong Kong is at the spearhead of a large and practically unexploited trade territory which will, when the existing difficulties have passed, provide Hong Kong with a market for many of Canada's products and which in return may provide for many of Canada's wants.\n\nIt is natural that Hong Kong, due to its location and the unexcelled facilities offered by its harbour, should serve as a centre of distribution for Canadian products which will eventually be consumed in the Southern part of the Chinese Republic. It is our hope that the importers of Hong Kong will give the fullest consideration to the opportunities offered to them by Canadian producers.\n\nIt was with the object of promoting greater trade between Canada and this territory that the appointment of a Trade Commissioner was made in 1929. It is to the advantage of Hong Kong importers to prepare for the future. Canada can provide them with many of their requirements and since it is to their advantage to cultivate a trading partnership with that Dominion.\n\nI congratulate the Chairman and Committee on their efforts to make the Fair a success and feel sure that they will be fully justified by the results obtained.\n\n**N.Z's. BEST WISHES.**\n\nMr. Williamson read the following message from Mr. Masters, the Minister of Industries and Commerce in the New Zealand Government:- Please express best wishes of the New Zealand Government for the success of the Empire Fair and appreciation of the efforts of Government, committees, Hotel company and others to further Empire trade. Also express our thanks for the assistance rendered to New Zealand in this connection.\n\n**FROM AUSTRALIA.**\n\n**Prime Minister's Cable Of Appreciation.**\n\n\"EVERY SUCCESS.\"\n\nMr. J. A. Tonkin delivered the following message from the Minister of the Commonwealth Government of Australia:\n\nOn behalf of the Commonwealth Government, I wish the Empire Fair every success and hope it will mark the opening of many new avenues of inter-Empire trade. Appreciation is expressed to the Government of Hong Kong for the encouragement and assistance in launching the Fair, and to the Fair Committees, the Hotel Company, the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, and those organisations and associations whose activities have been responsible for this display of Empire products. Your Fair will be successful and beneficial to all British and Dominion participants.—Lyons, Prime Minister.\n\n## THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.\n\n**Trade Commissioner From Home.**\n\n**WHAT OF TARIFFS?**\n\nFormally declaring the Fair open, H.E. the Governor said:- Mr. Paterson, Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am very pleased to have the privilege to-day of opening the second Empire Products Fair held in Hong Kong. As you know, the idea was started last year as the outcome of a letter addressed by Mrs. Amery, the wife of a former Secretary of State for the Colonies, to my wife, in which among other things she suggested an all-British food day.\n\nThe proposal to have an Empire Products Fair was taken up with great enthusiasm. My wife assisted in the preliminary stages, but to our regret we were unable to be here for the Fair itself. We were however greatly interested in the accounts which were sent to us. There was no doubt that it was a great triumph, and I take this opportunity of congratulating all those who helped to achieve that success.\n\nIt was indeed so successful that it was quite rightly decided that another Fair should be held this year, and there is no need for me to say that that decision has been amply justified, and that this year's Fair will greatly surpass that of last year.\n\nSuch Fairs have been instituted in many parts of the Empire. The British Industries Fair was started in a modest way in London soon after the War, and has grown to be of the greatest commercial value. Another Fair of the same kind has been held at Birmingham for the last fourteen years and yearly gains increasing popularity. Many of the colonies participate in that held in London, Fiji being one of the latest notable additions; and I hope that at no distant date Hong Kong will be able to participate, showing the people at home that this Colony is developing valuable industries of its own.\n\n**Local Industries.**\n\nIn a recent edition of a very interesting journal called \"The Crown Colonist\", I noticed in a map showing the various sources of Empire products that Hong Kong was marked \"Local industries and trans-shipment for China”. A few years ago the words \"local industries\" would probably not have been written, Hong Kong then being considered very little more than a mere transit port. Industries are now growing up in this Colony, one of the most notable perhaps of recent ventures being the brewing of beer! Only recently I was informed by the head of a well-known Hong Kong firm that they had a very large order from England for rubber-soled shoes manufactured here.\n\nThese Fairs are great factors in the commercial life of the Empire, and help to make us realise what a great Empire is capable of producing. It is wonderful how little many of us know of its great resources. I had an opportunity of visiting the Fair in London in 1928, and I must confess to great surprise at many of the things I saw there.\n\nThe British Empire has held a high position in trade, but owing perhaps to over-confidence has tended to sink in a slough of conservatism, in spite of considerable technical advances in industry. Where we really have to some extent failed is in actual trading.\n\nWe have been inclined to stand on a past reputation of the excellence of our goods, which has always been high, and have been extraordinarily unwilling to investigate changes in demand. Suppliers seem to hold the view that they should decide on what the consumer should take, ignoring the adage that he who pays the piper has the right to call the tune. This tendency, as far as the Far East is concerned, was recognised by the Economic Mission which visited the Far East over two years ago, and also by Mr. Beale, now Commercial Counsellor to our Peking Legation, who drew attention to it in a report which he wrote on trade in Malaya some years ago, when I first met him there. There is no doubt that many of our large suppliers have followed fortuitous methods, and have not appreciated the necessity of studying their markets. I think that I can truthfully say that great improvements have now been made in our methods. The quality of our goods has always been of a high standard and with a better realisation of the customers' needs, I feel that there is every prospect of a considerable increase in trade. If however suppliers wish to achieve a maximum of success I think that they should employ what I might term special Trade Commissioners of their own to carry out continuous investigation of the needs and desires of those whose custom they wish to retain and develop.\n\n**British Commissioner.**\n\nAt the same time I must say that I think that it is time that we had something in the nature of a British Trade Commissioner here to represent the Home Country and those parts of the Empire which are not at present represented, and I am in hopes that such an appointment may materialise in the not far distant future.\n\nMajor Duclos, the Canadian Trade Commissioner, has been with us for some time, and I congratulate him on the success which he has made of his appointment. I also would like to offer him our especial thanks for the very great assistance he has given both at last year's Fair and this Fair. He has indeed been a tower of strength to the organisers.\n\nWe greatly appreciate the friendly message from the Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of the Department of Trade and Commerce in Canada, which Major Duclos has just read. It is a message which indicates that true Empire spirit and desire for co-operation at the development of which we should all aim. I think there is a great deal to be done in fostering trade between Hong Kong and Canada, and I agree with Mr. Stevens that we have many interests in common. I passed through Canada on my way Home last year, but had very little time to study conditions there. I was impressed however in particular by three products which I thought could with advantage be exported on a larger scale to Hong Kong, namely motor-cars, fruit and beer. However with the establishment of a local brewery perhaps I had better not extol the value of Canadian liquor!\n\n**Advertising British Goods.**\n\nTrade between Australia and New Zealand and this Colony is growing, and I congratulate Mr. Williamson, who has acted as honorary agent for those Dominions, on this successful development. I also thank him for his valuable assistance in connexion with this Fair.\n\nWe greatly appreciate the friendly messages from Australia and New Zealand which he and Mr. Tonkin have just conveyed to us. I take this opportunity of welcoming to Hong Kong Mr. Tonkin who has just arrived as the representative of the Commonwealth of Australia.\n\nIf the whole Empire will buy British goods, things will become easy and less effort be necessary.\n\n**Tariff Question.**\n\nOur great Empire must be nearly self-supporting, and certainly should be capable of being made so. In spite of the old tradition of free trade, we have been driven to some extent to tariffs, but there is a school, and a very powerful one, which is not satisfied that that is the proper line to follow. At all events I have no hesitation in saying that the imposition of tariffs must not be allowed to depreciate efficiency and economy in production. Fundamentally it is most important that we should learn to produce goods which can compete successfully with similar goods of other countries, and at an economic price to the consumer. Tariffs would be entirely bad if they were to militate against this.\n\nHong Kong, while undoubtedly growing industrially, is still mainly a transit port, and there is no doubt in my mind that tariffs would on the whole therefore probably do more harm than good. It would be fatal to impose tariffs to help one or two industries, if by surrendering the principle which we have followed for many years we for the sake of one or two industries were to ruin the main trade of the port.\n\nMoreover it must be remembered that this Colony is not, except to a small extent, a primary producer and that in regard to its industries it is largely dependent on imported material. In these circumstances I need hardly stress the danger and difficulty of tariffs.\n\nI have not yet had an opportunity of seeing the exhibits to-day, but from what I have learnt there is no doubt that this Fair affords considerable evidence of what can be obtained from Empire sources, and also what this Colony is capable of producing.\n\n**New Territories.**\n\nI am very glad that there is such a fine exhibit of produce from the New Territories, and I trust that substantial purchases will be made. One cannot but be struck by the great local industry and ability of the agriculturist in producing what he does. The Territories have long been noted for producing some of the finest rice in the world, and to-day they are able to produce many varieties of fruit and vegetables, but more requires to be done in the direction of proper marketing, and I should like to see the principles of co-operation developed in this respect. It has been proved that pineapples can be successfully grown, and I should like to see an up-to-date canning factory for this form of fruit developed in the Colony. To compete however with the canned products of other countries such as Hawaii and Malaya, improved methods must be introduced and new strains of pineapple imported.\n\nIn the matter of advertisement, too, we British have been behind other nations. Lulled perhaps by an excessive feeling of confidence and faith in our own products and achievements, we have tended to consider it unnecessary to advertise and push those products. In these days however it must be conceded that if we are to capture the markets, it is necessary to advertise our goods.\n\nIn opening this Fair to-day, I appeal for a greater support for British products, and in that term of course I include the products of this—a British Colony. The number unemployed at home and in other parts of the Empire is very large, due partly to economic depression and partly to the fact that new inventions often diminish the need for man-power. It is necessary therefore, in order to cope with this problem, to develop to the full the resources of the Empire. Team work is called for and we should realise that in supporting British industries we make a valuable contribution to the solution of a difficult Imperial problem. It is essential however that such industries should aim at efficiency and economy and not allow themselves to be lulled into a wrong sense of security under the impression that if the whole Empire buys British, they will be safe.\n\nThe industrial tendency is undoubtedly growing in this Colony, and in spite of the slump and the fact that some factories have had to close.\n\nIt would take too long to mention by name the many residents who have helped towards the organisation of the Fair, but I desire especially to thank the Directors of the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels for again allocating to the Fair such a large amount of space in the Peninsula Hotel. Mr. Taggart has helped in innumerable ways towards the successful organisation of the Fair, and the Hotel staff has co-operated in every possible way.\n\n**Prime Movers.**\n\nThe Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson has ably presided over meetings, but on the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga and his sons, Mr. H. Braga and Mr. A. M. Braga, has fallen the brunt of the work of organisation of exhibits, to which they have given a great deal of their time for months past. In this they have been supported by Mr. Key as Honorary Secretary. The Military authorities have greatly assisted the Committee to keep down expenses by lending a considerable quantity of military equipment which has been used for the erection of stalls. In this connexion I would especially mention the help of Mrs. Borrett, Mrs. Kinnaird Watson, Mrs. Hoare and the numerous ladies who are working under their leadership. The organisers of the several sections—the list is again too long to permit of individual mention—deserve our thanks.\n\nThe necessity of building two large pavilions on the adjoining land has involved special electrical difficulties, in handling which the China Light and Power Co., Messrs. Callender's Cable and Construction Co. Ltd., and Messrs. Wm. C. Jack & Co., have most helpfully collaborated in a way that has placed the Committee under a great obligation. To-night you will see the attractive lighting effects which have been installed.\n\nThe Telephone Company has gone to considerable expense and trouble to install the Public Address System which greatly helps speakers in this large building and will doubtless be found useful to exhibitors for broadcasting announcements within the Exhibition area.\n\nSeveral firms and Public Companies—both British and Chinese—have given transport facilities and many more have distributed advertisements all over the Colony. All the English newspapers and several Chinese newspapers, have rendered essential assistance by placing their columns freely at the disposal of the Committee. I may perhaps conclude this incomplete resume by thanking the many exhibitors on whose combined support the Fair depends.\n\n**Canton Visitors Welcomed.**\n\nI extend a very hearty welcome to H.E. Mr. Lin Yun-koy and our other Canton friends, who have done us the honour of coming here to-day to attend this Fair. Their presence here affords further proof of the excellent relations which exist between Canton and this Colony. This Fair is primarily held on behalf of British products, but many of these, I am happy to say, are purchased by Canton. In some things there is a healthy trade rivalry between Canton and Hong Kong, but speaking generally our interests are closely interwoven, and the prosperity of the one is largely dependent on the prosperity of the other. It is a matter for congratulation therefore that the friendship between the two places is so happily maintained.\n\nI have much pleasure in declaring the Fair open and in wishing it great success.\n\n## C.

THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1933.\n\n**OFFICIAL OPENING.**\n\n**'GOVERNOR'S PLEA FOR GREATER EMPIRE CO-OPERATION.**\n\n**WELCOME TO OFFICIAL GUESTS.**\n\nWith full ceremonial, the Empire Fair was officially opened by the Governor, Sir William Peel at noon.\n\nThe Governor and Lady Peel were welcomed at the main entrance of the Hotel by the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson, Chairman of the Committee, who escorted them through a guard of honour comprising Boy Scouts and Girl Guides to the first floor.\n\nHis Excellency entered with Mr. Paterson, while Lady Peel was accompanied by the Vice-chairman of the Fair Committee (Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga). Then came Mr. S. T. Williamson (honorary agent for the Australian and New Zealand Governments), Major Duclos (Canadian Trade Commissioner), the Hon. Dr. Kotewall, Mr. M. F. Key (Secretary of the Fair Committee) and Capt. Walter, A. D. C. to the Governor.\n\nThe Chairman was supported on the dais, on the right, by H.E. the Governor, the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government (Mr. Liu Yun-koy), H.B.M. Acting Consul-General (Mr. E. G. Jamieson, C.B.E.), Mr. J. A. Tonkin (representing the Department of Commerce of the Australian Commonwealth Government), Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga (Vice-Chairman and principal organiser of the Fair Committee). On the left were Lady Peel, the Mayor of Canton (Mr. Liu Chi-wen) and Mrs. Liu Chi-wen, Major V. E. Duclos (Canadian Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong), Mr. S. T. Williamson (Hon. Agent for New Zealand) Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G. (Vice-Chairman).\n\nOthers present included the General Officer Commanding, Major-General O. C. Borrett, C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., C.B.E., and Mrs. Borrett, H. H. the Chief Justice and Mrs. J. R. Wood, representatives of the Consular Body, officials from Canton, the Commodore and Mrs. Marrack, members of the Executive Council, Government officials, members of the General Committee of the Fair, and exhibitors.\n\nA tableau, representing Britannia was staged behind the dais.\n\nWhen we found, however, that we were going to put up a show four or five times as large as before, covering an area of over an acre, we felt that we need not be quite so modest. Seeing that the Empire goods shown to-day are all intended for the great market of South China, we invited the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, Mr. Lin Yun-Koy; the Mayor of Canton, Mr. Liu Chi-Wen and Mrs. Liu Chi-Wen; the Inspector-General for Foreign Affairs for Kwantung, Kwangsi, etc., Mr. Kan Chieh-Hou and Mrs. Kan Chieh-Hou; the Commissioner of Public Safety, General Ho Lok; the Counsellor to the 1st Group Army Headquarters, Colonel C. W. Leung, the Municipal Counsellor and Secretary to the Mayor, Dr. Wu Paak-Shing and Mrs. Wu Paak-Shing; the Secretary to the Chairman of the Kwantung Government, Mr. Chow Hok-Tong and the Secretary to the Commissioner of Public Safety, Mr. W. S. Lun, to accept our hospitality and be present here to-day.\n\nTherefore it is my privilege this morning, in the first place, to welcome His Excellency the Governor, who has taken the greatest interest in this project and who kindly promised some months ago to perform the Opening Ceremony. Secondly, as this is, I think, the first large gathering which Lady Peel has attended since her recent illness, I am sure you would wish me to express on your behalf our congratulations on her recovery and our pleasure that she is here to grace the occasion.\n\n**Canton Guests.**\n\nNext I wish to thank, in the name of the General Committee of the Empire Fair, the Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Government, the Mayor of Canton and the other distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen from Canton who have honoured us to-day by accepting our invitation to the Fair. We trust that what they see here will be of great interest to them and that their visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between South China and Hong Kong.\n\n**Mr. Paterson's Welcome.**\n\nAddressing the gathering, the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson said:- Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: The first Empire Fair in Hong Kong, held a year ago, though it called for a great deal of work from organisers, was smaller than the Fair we present to you to-day. We made the Opening Ceremony a local affair. I believe His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton was the only visitor from the outside world.\n\nThe Kwangtung Provincial Government, the Mayor of Canton and the other distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen from Canton who have honoured us to-day by accepting our invitation to the Fair. We trust that what they see here will be of great interest to them and that their visit will further strengthen the friendly relations between South China and Hong Kong. As the Fair has so greatly outgrown the space which the Hotel Company has so generously placed at our disposal, I have to express my regret that it is impossible to provide seats for all who are present. The best amends I can make is to be brief. Let me therefore extend a cordial welcome to His Majesty's Acting Consul-General at Canton, Mr. Jamieson and to our local guests. In particular I wish to take this opportunity of expressing, in all sincerity, grateful thanks to the hundreds of workers and exhibitors for their support. I want also to thank Mr. Taggart and the Directors of the Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd., for their invaluable assistance, the general public for their attendance and to express the hope that \"dividend warrants will soon be ready\" in the shape of a large increase of British trade as the result of this Fair.\n\nI will now call upon Major V. E. Duclos, Canadian Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong, to read a message from the Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of the Department of Trade and Commerce of the Dominion of Canada.\n\n**CANADA'S MESSAGE.**\n\n**Minister's Greeting Read By Major Duclos.**\n\nMajor Duclos then read the following message from The Hon.

SANDWICH, meanwhile had informed me that at Weihaiwei, Rear Admiral Hsieh, with whom we work in close co-operation, had ordered up two aircraft from Tsingtao to help search for the pirates and had also placed the wireless apparatus of his ships at our disposal for assisting in communication with Chefoo. I sent Admiral Hsieh a telegram of warm thanks.\n\nThe Commodore, Hong Kong, held an enquiry on Monday, 4th February, into the TUNGCHOW Piracy Case. Amongst others, Mr. Swire, a Director of Butterfield and Swire, was present.\n\nWhen I became aware that Sir John Brenan, the Consul-General at Shanghai was independently holding an enquiry into the piracy, at Shanghai, which was being attended at his invitation by Commander N.V. Grace, the Commanding Officer of H.M.S. GRIMSBY, I passed the following signal which I received from the Commodore, Hong Kong, to Sir John Brenan for his information, having previously informed him that we would be very glad to afford him every possible assistance in his enquiry :-\n\n\"From: Commodore, Hong Kong (255).

About 2330 on 1st February, Mr. Blackwood of Butterfield and Swires informed me they held guarantees of all Chinese passengers on board \"Tungchow\" and these being serially numbered, it would enable them to trace the guarantors if those of passengers remaining on board were checked. This message was passed to Commodore, Hong Kong for Butterfield and Swires at Hong Kong and for the Police (my 2335/2).\n\n10.

Although the failures are practically confined to the ships of one firm, I feel this a suitable opportunity to remind all concerned of the vital importance of these reports, which are the only means at my disposal of ascertaining the safety or otherwise of ships.\n\nFor your information I will state the procedure adopted for dealing with routine reports (special action is taken in the case of ships carrying bullion or otherwise requiring extraordinary precautions). If a report is not received at the time ordered, one hour's grace is given since it is known that atmospheric conditions may delay reports. At the end of this hour, if the report has not been received, the Anti-Piracy Officer on my Staff (or, in his absence, my Duty Staff Officer) is informed at once. It is then his duty to consider what action requires to be taken; it is normally sufficient at this stage to request Government Radio and the Patrol vessel to endeavour to establish communication with the defaulting ship, though further action may on occasion be thought necessary, if, for example, the conditions are good for wireless and the ship is known to be in a dangerous area. If the ship again fails when her second report is due, immediate action is taken, I am called at once, so are my Staff Officers, and if the Flagship is at Hongkong, the Commander-in-Chief's Staff is informed as well. If not already in the vicinity of the ship, the patrol vessel is ordered to proceed to her estimated position with the utmost despatch, and it will\n\nnot", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-553-3 Anti-piracy measures 7-3-1935 - 4-11-1935.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
