ELLIS KADOORIE COLLEGE.

(Continued from page 3.) This was completed and occupied on 3rd September, 1906. It cost about $15,000, of which the Government contributed $7,000, Little and Mr. Kadoorie the balance. more than four years afterwards, viz, on 5th October, 1910, the newly erected Eastern Wing was quietly taken possession of. No assistance was received from Govern- ment on this occasion. The number of pupils in actual attendance at that time was just over 680. Referring to this Eastern Wing in my Ninth Annual Be- port I said, "I have no doubt that when the Now Wing is completed some of our wealthy Chinese friends, observing the

on." The reaponse, owing to other deserv ing objects then engaging the attention of the Chinese, did not come quite so speedily as it would have done, but it came, and the result is the building which your Excellency is about to spen. The total cost of the reconstruction was estimated at $58,750--the tender of Yes Shun Hin Kee, contractor, being accepted by the Denison, Ram & architects, Messrs. Gibbs. But alterations and repairs to the adjoining parts. of the building, furnishing, etc., amounted to $20,000 more, so that the total expenditure entailed by the new building is close upon 880,000 Always eager for the welfare and comfort of the pupile, Mr. Kadoorie utilized part of the materials of the former Chamber of Commerce to erect, on a portion of Inland Lot 608, immediately to the south of the College, a commodious luncheon room for the convenience of those students who live at a distance. This building, which cost $1,000, was another of Mr. Kadoorie's personal gifts to the College. It will be. a source of much comfort to those who are unable to go home at the mid-day interval, and is sure to be highly appreciated.

of the donors of $500 and over will be inscribed on tablets to be placed in the Examination Hall of the College, as a mark of our gratitude for their generosity. The total amount sub- serild is $55,870. The balance still to bo made good is meanwhile covered by loans ruised by Messrs. Kadoorie and Lau Chu Pak. I would also like to mention that in addition their generous donations, just mentioned, Messrs. Lau Chu Pak, Ho Kom Tong and Chan Kai Ming, bogether with the partners of the Tai Yan Co., have presented Scholarships to this College varying in value from $50 to $120 per

num. In furthering the objects of the Society Mr. Kadoorie has given liberally of both his time and his means, not only in Hongkong, but also in Canton and Shanghai, and it behoves the members of the Chinese community to show their grateful appreciation by extending to the Society their hearty sympathy and sup port. For the Staff, who are looking forward with pleasure to the improved conditions under which their duties will be performed, I think I may promise that nothing will be lacking on their part that the students who go forth from this institution will do so with a sound grasp of the subjects which we profess to teach.

Mr. Ellis Kadoorie then presented His:
