ARMISTICE DAY CELEBRATIONS.

SERVICE AT THE CATHEDRAL.

IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY AT THE CENOTAPH.

SUCCESSFUL SALE OF POPPIES,

AMOUNT COLLECTED FOR EARL HAIG'S FUND EXPECTED

TO ESTABLISH" A RECORD.

Armistice Day was celebrated in Hong Kong in the customary manner yesterday, but the sale of poppies was even more successful" then usual and it is hoped, when all amounts have been received, that a record sum will have been raised this year for Earl Haig's Poppy Day Fund.

There was a largely attended service at St. John's Cathedral in on the Cathedral- the morning following which wreaths were placed o War Memorial. The scene at the Cenotaph during the two minutes silence was very impressive. All the naval and military forces in the Colony were represented. H.E. the Officer Administering the Government placed a wreath on behalf of the Government and his / tribute was followed by many others until the base of the Cenotaph was one mass of flowers.

In addition to the sales of poppies in the streets there were auctions at various clubs and although exact figures are not avail- able the following approximate amounts have been realised:-

STREET SALES, HONG KOND....

Hoxe Koyo CLES AUCTION

KOWLOON C.C, AUCTION

$4,200

$1,500

$1,300

$1,530

$1,100

Even these sums amount to more than half of the total of $16.000 obtained last year and as there are many more to come in there is little doubt about last year's record being passed,

Armistice Day was, of course, a holiday. All banks and busi ness offices were closed and after mid-day many cricket, golf and football matches were played, At Fanling and Kawbon golf courses guns were fired to announce the two minutes "silence and play reased. Wreaths were also placed on the Fanling War Memorial

AT THE CENOTAPH.

A WEALTH OF FLORAL TRIBUTES.

The solemn and dignified cere- i mony at the Cenotaph at 11 am. was witnessed by a great crowd of Europeans and Chinese, Hun- dreds of people stood behind the police barriers around the memo- rial, and the verandahs of the Courts of Justice, Hong Kong Club and adjacent office buildings werz filled.

H.E. the Officer · Administering the Government, in uniform, ac- companied by Capt. White, A.D.C. and Capt. Forster, arrived at 10.40 and was joined at the southern position facing the Cenotaph by Sir H. C. Gollan, Sir Joseph Kemp, Sir Shou-son Chow, the Hon. Mr. C. Mel Messer, the Hon. Mr. E.-R. Fallifax, the Hon. Mr. H. T. Jackinan, the Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe, the Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, the Hon. Mr. J. Owen Hughes, the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton, His Honour Mr. Justice J. R.
