he was grateful for the splendid reception accorded him and that he was really at a loss Lo and words to express his feel- Ings adequately.

He assured everyone that he was happy at being in Hong Kong, as the representative of his Govern- ment, since immediately he came into contact with his fellow citizens after his arrival here. He felt that he was amongst friends, therefore he has no misgivings whatever as regards anything he might need from the community for the common good and in the interest of the mother-country.

Reiterating his thanks the Con- sul drank to the prosperity of the community in general.

Refreshments were then served and dancing was indulged in until dinner time, to music supplied by the "Trobadours."
