by the usual wreath laying ceremonies a: the Ceactaph and Wanchai Memorial in the morning, and with a grand Nelson Day Concert at the Queen's Theatre in the evening.

The Concert, it might be added, was a huge success. Every seat in the Theatre was sold, and the receipts from this source, together, with those from the aula of programmes, chocolates, etc., should do much to swell the funds of the local branch of the Navy League, who will

devote them to Navy League Charities, and the fund opened by the Branch for the dependents of those who fell in the service of their fellow countrymen in con- nection with the Warhsien affair, etc.

The Concert was attended by H. E. the Governor, Lady Clementi, Naval and
