        "content_text": "# \nall the greenery were silvered palm leaves which sparkled in the gaslight, and had a very charming effect. The most noticeable feature of the adornment of this hall, however, was an array of shields over each door. On each shield was emblazoned the name of a vessel in which Admiral Dowell had served during his long naval career. By a somewhat remarkable and convenient coincidence, Admiral Dowell has served on just as many vessels of the British Navy as there are doors in this hall—16 in all—so that there was a fresh name for every shield. Commencing with the earliest they were as follows: \"Druid, 1839 to 1842;\" \"Blenheim, 1842 to 1843;\" \"Racer, 1843 to 1845;\" \"Eagle, 1845 to 1848;\" \"Excellent, 1848;\" \"Albion, 1850 to 1855;\" \"Rodney, 1857 to 1858;\" \"Barossa, 1862 to 1864;\" \"Euryalus, 1864 to 1865;\" \"Leander, 1865 to 1866;\" \"Britlesnake, 1867 to 1871;\" \"Hercules, 1872 to 1875;\" \"Black Prince, 1877 to 1878;\" \"Revenge, 1878 to 1880;\" \"Mirobtur, 1882 to 1883;\" \"Audacious, 1884 to 1885.\"\n\nThe ante-room was adorned in a somewhat similar manner, save that there were none of these shields, but on the walls there were instead the large gilded shields and tridents as described above, which were surrounded by sprays of hamboo leaves. There was the usual array of seats of all kinds, and the pink globes of the gas burners had a pretty effect.\n\n## St. Andrew's Hall\nSt. Andrew's Hall was decorated in a somewhat different manner to St. George's Hall, and was in its way also very effectively treated. The main decorations were at the east end of the room.\n\nOver the central window flags and foliage were grouped artistically, in the centre being the flag of the colony and that of Admiral Dowell crossed and linked together with a true lover's knot, on which was inscribed the words \"Should acquaintance be forgot.\" Beside and below this were devices representing the sailors' badge—the Crown, the Anchor, and the Wreath—the crown in gold and jewels, the anchor in silver, with a rope winding round, and the wreath in green leaves. Above the flags was a star composed of cutlasses and ramrods. At the opposite end, the fireplace was concealed by pot plants, shrubs, green moss, and other foliage, mixed with which silvered palm leaves glittered in the light, and the sailors' badge was to be seen here also. A very noticeable feature in this room was an array of round shields, covered with red cloth—one on each pilaster. The shields had a border of green moss, and Admiral Dowell's monogram was very chastely executed in the centre. Beneath this, at the top of the pedestal, was placed a bed of moss and flowers, and at the base there were pot plants. A green wreath hung in festoons all round the hall, looped up at the top of each pilaster, and from each festoon depended a circle of green moss, in the centre of which was some device—a crown or an anchor. The gas standards were treated lightly with moss.\n\n## The Theatre\nThe entire Theatre—stage, stalls, pit, and dress circle—was converted into a supper room, tables being laid to accommodate 408 guests. The catering was done by the Hongkong Hotel Company, and the tables were most tastefully set out, while the viands and wines were all of the best quality. The table for the guest of the evening, H. E. the Governor, and party, occupied the front of the stage. There were two tables behind this, and all available space in the pit and dress circle was utilised for the same purpose. Pot plants were placed on the front of the stage and below it, and also all round the front of the dress circle. The pillars were wreathed with green leaves, and the arches below were similarly ornamented.\n\nThe verandah was dealt with in much the same way as on former occasions, being closed in with matting, carpeted, and provided with seats.\n\nThe Decoration Committee were greatly indebted to Mr. Westland, the Acting Superintendent of the Botanical Department, for the ready and most valuable assistance he gave in the provision of pot plants, flowers, &c.\n\nThere was an unusually large provision made for the ladies, and in consequence the card room was relegated to the library, where there was very ample accommodation for whist players and smokers.\n\nOver 500 guests accepted the invitations sent them, so that there was a very large gathering, which included His Excellency the Governor and Miss Bowen, with Lieut. Bowen and Lieut. Breeks, A.D.C.s. Admiral Sir William Montagu Dowell, K.C.B., Vice-Admiral Vesey Hamilton, C.B., Major-General Cameron, C.B., with Mrs. and the Misses Cameron, The Chief Justice (Sir George Phillippo) and Lady Phillippo, Commodore and Mrs Morant, the Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. T. Jackson and Mrs. Jackson, Hon. F. D. Sassoon, Hon. Wong Shing, Colonel Walker, R. E., Colonel Crawford, R. A., Colonel Foster (Northamptonshire Regiment), Dr. Hungerford, A.M.D., Lieut.-Colonel Murray, O. S. D., Lieut.-Colonel Le Mesurier, C. & T. D., Major Cochrane, &c., &c. Admiral Dowell arrived at about 9.15, and was received with all honours, and shortly afterwards His Excellency the Governor and party were received at the entrance by members of the Committee.\n\nThe first dance, a quadrille, was led off by His Excellency the Governor with Mrs. Cameron and Admiral Sir W. Dowell with Miss Bowen, and dancing was sustained to the end with heartiness and spirit on an excellent floor.\n\nThe following was the programme of the dances, which was played by the Band of the Northamptonshire Regiment:\n| Dance | \n| --- | \n| QUADRILLE | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE POLKA | \n| LANCERS | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE | \n| POLKA | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE | \n| Supper | \n| VALSE | \n| Dances | \n| VALSE | \n| GALOP | \n| LANCERS | \n| round | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE | \n| HIGHLAND SCHOTTISCHE | \n| VALSE | \n| POLKA | \n| VALSE | \n| VALSE GALOP | \n| Britannia | \n| Los Sourires | \n| Estudiantina | \n| Tout à la Joie | \n| Olivette | \n| Bid me good bye | \n| Myosotis | \n| Ionian | \n| Venetia | \n| Fraises Ecrasees | \n| Gretchen | \n| Thine Alone | \n| Jolly will we be to-night | \n| La Mascotte | \n| Happy Thoughts | \n| Fedora | \n| Royal | \n| Gloire de Dijon | \n| Les Grenouilles | \n| Je t'Aime | \n| My Queen | \n| Our Last Waltz | \n| Queen Victoria | \n\nThe presentation of the address took place immediately after the supper. At the table mentioned above at the front of the stage, the chair was taken by the Hon. P. Ryrie, and the party at that table included, besides the guest of the evening, H. E. the Governor, Vice-Admiral Hamilton, Major-General Cameron and Mrs. Cameron, Sir George and Lady Phillippo, and Commodore and Mrs. Morant.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**, after supper, proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen.\n\nThe toast was drunk loyally, the Band playing the National Anthem.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** then proposed the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family.\n\n49",
