Mr. Apdrows, on behalf of the Reserve Forces said he had no doubt that taken altogether they were not a bad lot (ä voice: Speak for yourself); they did their best in a small way, but had little opportunity of showing what they could do (a voice: What about the battle of Kowloon 7). No doubt when it came to the pinch the Gorps would not be found wanting.

THE INSTITUTE.

Mr. W. B. 'Dixon then proposed the "Institute of Engineers and Shipbuilders." He said that. since coming to Hongkong he had met with many surprises, and not the least of them had been afforded in the discovery of the existence of the Institute of Engineers and Shipbuilders

such an institute as he did not think Hong- kong could support. He was not yet a member of it, but he hoped to become one very soon. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Dixen expressed his thanks for the invitation extended to him to attend the dinner, and concluded by wishing the Institute all success-success he would be happy to foster by every means in his power. (Applause.)

Replying on behalf of the Institute the chair- man said that by ancient custom that duty usually devolved upon the hon. secretary .but the bon, secretary was very diffident on this occasion and had kindly and considerately left the matter to him (laughter). It was not the first time he had endeavoured to reply to the toast, and he trusted it would not be the last. He was pleasd to tell them the Institute was in a very flourishing condition and was thoroughly representative of the interest it was supposed to represent, in the most important. Colony of Hongkong.

ANNUAL DINNER.

That the Institute of Engineers and Ship- builders of Hongkong is in a most flourishing condition and thoroughly representative of the crafts was fully exemplified on Saturday even- ing when a gathering of between eighty and a hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner in the Institute Rooms, No 3, Des Voeux Road. Mr. W. Ramsay, Vice-chairman of the Institute,. was to have presided; and indeed about to take his seat at the head of the table when he was suddenly indisposed. and Mr. J. W. Kinghorn was called upon

but the moans of purveying to the wants of engineers and shipbulders Hongkong could not exist. He urged the great necessity of combination, and remarked that it was not a question of rent, nor a question of support between man and man; it was a question of

an Institution as theirs to keep themselves together, and trusted though they had not many inquisitive members amongst them that at least there were a few who were anxious to gain information (applause), Those would encourage them to increase their library and would contribute towards the general prosperity of the Institution,. He was sure they trusted that Mr. Dixon would become one of the their number because the services he was in a.
