THE ROAD. Jubilee Road was commenced in April, 1901, under the direction of Messrs. Denison and Ram, architects and civil engineers, and it was practically completed towards the end of 1902 It commences at Belchers Bay, near the Tung Wa Hospital, and goes to Abordeon, covering in length five miles. From Belchers Bay it rises from the sea-level to 150 feet in the first half mile, they it continues fairly lovel for about four miles, falling dowù in the remaining half · mile of approach to Aberdeen. It puates the French Mission, onte through the Dairy Farm, and erosses the old Aberdeen Road about a rule this (Hongkong) side of Aberdesa. Over its precipitous course are several substantial granite bridges; and a foot-path, about a mile and a half loag, from the Peak joins it to the east of the bridge on the old Aberdeen Road, in the vicinity where the now road orasen

Originally the road was intended to go å little above the sea- vel only, but, objections being raised by the War Department on the grounds that this would weaken the natural defences of the island, it was raised to 150 abore the sea level.

The cost of constracting Jubilee Road was $111,000.

THE HOSPITAL.

The Victoria Hospitulstanding on the south side of the Barker Road, well above the rond lavol, is ́approached by a wide pathway of easy gradient, It is designed in two blocks, the larger forming the hospital proper, to the east, the smaller containing the quarters for the staff, to the west. The hospital block is two-storied with a central bay crowned by twin cupolas flanking the main outrance; at each end are one-story wings capable of being raised to

form an extension should additional ward accommodation be found necessary in the future. The buildings are of brick, faced with sincco, and are Renaissance in style to the design of Merre, Palmer aud Turuer, the architects whe have anperintended the carrying out of the work.
