LONDON COLLEGE OF MUSIC.

· PROGRESS OF THE HONGKONG BRANCH OF

THE COLLEGE.

"

The member of the Council of the London College of Music have decided to obtain the sasiitance of our leading local moricians in the examination which it is proposed to hold in the Colony. It is a rule of the College of Music of that no examiner he allowed to examine eny of his own pupile ; but as that eule could not be enforced here, it was suggested that a local Board of Examiners be formed, and that, three or more examiners be apointed for each branch

of practical music. This method of procedure

be examined.

He was ercaping in a chair from Lim-kec par to Chipchip on the right of the attick when he was met by a party of rebels, 'who took him for a Japanese and wounded him before they found out their mistake. But when they knew who he was they let him go, and he lived five hours after receiving. the wound. He was put in the best coffin that could be procured and busied by his compradore, The compradores of the Foreign hongs, are hills to sleep at night, for fear of a Japanese sill at the camphor districts, retiring to the party arriving, and comlag out to Chipchip to look after their property during the day.
