all the kindness and assistance, he had received from them in the past-kindness and assistance which had made his task an easy one, and which had enabled the Government to carry on affairs in a much- more harmonious manner than would otherwiso have been possible. Dr. Ho Kai, he said, had referred to his connection with the Po Leung Kuk, the Tung Wa Hospital and the District Watchmen force. He could only say that any thing he had done to help any of those Institutions had been done with great pleasure, and he would always be glad to think they had a been able to say that the little be had done had been of assistance in helping those Institutions to carry on the excellent work with which they were insted. He was sorry he was about to leave Hongkong and to leave those whom he had known for so many years. and among whom he had so many good friends, but he reminded them that the distance from here to Wei-hai-wei was not so very great and meeting many of his Cantonese friends at that trusted that he would have the pleasure of place. He assured them that he had great belief in the enterprise of the Cantonese race and. without wishing to say anything in regard to the other races in China, he sincerely hoped he would have the pleasure of seeing Cantonese them most sincerely for the very kind re enterprise in Wei-hai-wei. He also thanked ferences that had been made to his wife. There was a general, but a very false impress for their wives which existed among people in sion, that the Chinese had not that high respect

When the news of his high appointment to Wei-hni-wei first reached Hong- kong na one rejoiced more than his Chinese friends and admirers, but very soon a feeling of impending los cast a shadow over their glad ness as they began to realise that ere long they would be forced to part with one whom, as an. official, they were accustomed to meet with

It was with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret that we first received the news-pleasure at leaming that one so well known to us had received the promotion that his services have merited, and regret at the thought that the time was quickly approaching when the bonds, which during the last 20 years have drawn us so closely together, must at last be severed.

Your promotion testifies to the appreciation in which His Majesty's Government holds your services. We, on our side, can-speak of the cordial relations which have existed be- tween you and His Majesty's Chinese subjects ever since you returned from Canton in 1882 on the completion of your Chinese studies. And it has been a source ofatisfaction to us and has no doubt helped you greatly to understand the motives that influence our conduct, the feelings by which we are stirred, and the ideals which we pus before us that not content with the knowledge of Chinese which the Government so wisely requires from its officers you have continued to give a large share of your leisure time to the study of our literature.

It would he improper for us to speak of your services to the Chinese Community, and it would be incorrect to do so, but we are pleased to be able to recall that in serving faithfully your Queen, your King and your Country, you have been able to bestow many benefits on the Chinese The Po Leung Kuk, which owes its present assured position in great measure to your energy and powers of organization, will long remain, we hope, a memorial of you. The record of the proceedings of the Tung Wa Hospital Commission shews plainly the desire which has always actuated you that fairplay should be shown to us in our efforts to do good, however taulty and insufficient they may appear to Europeans. And, though the secrets of Government are well kept, we flatter ourselves that during the last ten years we hope was able more than once to trace the effect of your Counsels in the actions of the Government,'

respect and, as a friend; to regard with affection, The severance of his official connection with Hongkong and his imminent departure there from had caused among the Chinese a general feeling of regret, and it was only to a certain extent lessened, by the knowledge that he would not be very far away, and that he would be chiefly engaged in governing and promoting the welfare of their countrymen in the northern Colony. They were also sustained by the hope that someday, not very far distant, it might please His Majesty the King to send him back to Hongkong to occupy the most exalted position in the government of this Colony (applause). In the meantime, however, they had to bid him farewell and, in so doing, could not help recalling the past an years in which he had served the Colony so well and so successfully. In 1882 he returned from Canton to find Hangkong in a depressed conditing, owing to the collapse of the great land speculation that occurred during the year previous; and he found also an embittered feeling between two important sections of the community. Young as Mr. Lockhart was then, and although occupy ing # minor position in the govemment, he at ance interested himself in the welfare of the Colony, and endeavoured to promote a better understanding between the Europeans and Chinese (applause). For a very few years only did he eccupe the position of Assistant Colonial Secretary, as his distinguished ability. and profound knowledge of Chinese, secured him a rapid ommotion to the important post of Registrar General, where he came into in- timate and frequent contact with the Chinese community. It was in that office that the Chinese came directly under his inspiring in fluence, and it was in the discharge of his duties as Registrar General and Protector of Chinese that they received so much benefit from his hands. The period of his tenure of that office was marked by great progress among the Chinese and by the adoption of more effective measures for the preservation of order and peace among them. The lead ing Chinese citizens, who had hitherto been more or less apathetic to public affairs, came forward in comparatively large numbers and took a Veener and more active interest in making effective the public went.
