H. R. H. the Duke of CONNAUGHT accompanied by H. R. H. the Duchess of CONNaught and the Princess PATRICIA of CONNAUGHT visited the Colony early in the year.
His Royal Highness unveiled statues of His Majesty the King-Emperor and of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales which had been presented to the Colony by Sir PAUL CHATER, C.M.G. and Mr. J. J. BELL-IRVING respectively.
Their Royal Highnesses attended an entertainment given in their honour by the Chinese community at the Ko Shing Theatre.
Sir MATTHEW NATHAN, K.C.M.G., Governor, left the Colony on the 20th April to take up the governorship of Natal, and the Colonial Secretary (Mr. F. H. MAY, C.M.G.) administered the Government until my arrival on the 29th July, 1907.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
F. D. LUGARD, Governor, &c.
