The opening of Yokohama's Jubilee Hall took place on June 31st. The foundation stone was laid on July 1st, 1909. The building stands in commemora- tion of the opening of Yokohama to foreign trade. Looking back it is difficult to realize that Yokohams was an unim portant fishing village sixty years ago. From a hamlet of a few houses, Yokohama has grown in the short space two gen erations to be one of the important trading centres of the world.'

The population is estimated at over 400,000. The Memorial Hall covers 460 taubo, and is finished on the outside in red brick, trimmed with white granite. The tower, in which light shines out nightly as a beacon, rises 114 feet two inches.

The building on the side presents varied types of design, although the architecture of the Rennaisance period prevails. It is well suited to entertain- merits in both foreign and Japanese style, being provided with a large auditorium or lecture hall, banquet rooms, and suites for business concerns. The auditorium, which is 63 feet aquare, ie well lighted and hits good acoustic properties. It will ac commodate over 1,200 people, and has a stage, sufficiently large, to allow of theatrical productions..

The reception hall is on the first floor, while just above it, on the second floor, is the banquet room Just adjoining the banquet room is a special waiting room. This is the finest room in the building, and is said to have been modelled after the Phoenix Hall in the Imperial Palace.
