1198 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 25ти DECEMBER, 1880.
I feel, however, that I cannot accept any personal present, though I am most sensible of the kind feeling which has prompted it, but as you are aware that it is suggested in commemoration of Her Majesty's Jubilee year, to establish an "Imperial Institution "for the Colonies and India, in the pro- motion of which I take the deepest interest, I should be most grateful if the subscribers would allow the funds collected for my Testimonial to be applied in aid of that object.
Should they kindly do so, it will be an ample reward to me, for any services I to make the Exhibition of 1886 a success.
Believe me,
may have rendered
THE EARL CADOGAN, &C., &c.
My dear Cadogan,
Very sincerely yours,
ALBERT EDWARD P.
Whereupon the following resolution was proposed and unanimously adopted:
That, in view of the letter addressed by His Royal Highness, the Executive President, to the Chairman of this Committee, in which His Royal Highness, while conveying his grateful appreciation of the proposed Testimonial to himself, expresses the wish that it may not take such a form, but that any funds collected may be applied towards the "Imperial Institution," which it is intended to found to commemorate the Jubilee Year of Her Majesty's reign.
Resolved therefore:- "That the Committee, believing it to be the wish of the subscribers to evince their high sense of His Royal Highness's great services in the manner most acceptable to himself, acquiesce in the suggestion contained in his letter..
CC
They desire, at the same time, to record what they are assured will be the unanimous feeling of all the donors, that the step thus taken by His Royal Highness will, if possible, add to the appreciation entertained of his disinterested and public spirited efforts, not only on behalf of an Exhibition from which many millions of Her Majesty's subjects have already derived so much advantage, but to farther a project which will at once be a graceful Memorial of Her Majesty's long and happy. reign, and conduce to the permanent consolidation of the Empire."
It was further Resolved:-"That the Chairman report the foregoing proceedings for the
approval of the full Committee and the Subscribers."
