NEW TERRITORIES DEVELOPMENT.

THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

COTTON GROWING

EXPERIMENTS,

Under the efficient chairmanship of the Rev. H. B. Wells, the Committee of the New Territories Agricultural Show, 1027, held one of their periodical meetings at Sir Robert Ho Tung's experimental farm at Sheung Shui on Saturday, Since the first meeting it has been learned from Mr. J. P. Braga, the hon, English Secretary, that Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., has con. sented to act as Patron of the Agricultural Show to be held next December. Mr. J. A. Fraser, Dis trict Officer (North) has been in- vited to act as Vice-Patron.

A letter was rend from Mr. H B. L. Dowbiggin, who was unavoid ably prevented from

attending Saturday's meeting, that H.E. The Loscrmor would give a prize for the shiw; further that Messrs. Lane, Crawford & Co., Ltd., and Messrs. Brunner Mond & Co. had signified their intention of securing space for putting up displays. In the latter connection, opportunity will be afforded at the show for the dis play of British and foreign agricul- tural implements and various kinds of fertilizers. Intending exhibitors would be well advised to communi- rate with the hon. secretaries-Eng.

Fish and Chinese-as to the space they would like to reserve.

Welcome Donations.

BRITISH ARMY'S TRIBUTE.

Four French peasant women in dresses of rough black cloth mount ed the platform of the famous Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House, EC., to be presented to the Lord Mayor, Sir Rowland Blades, 3.P., and the Lady Mayorces.

As they passed through an avenue between members of the City Cor- poration in their robes and officers in British scarlet and French blue they were obviously ill at caso, al when a military band played and nearly 3,000 people in the area of the ball shouted a welcome they halted in bewildered diffidence.
