All what you have done have proved that you are possessed of extensive knowledge and remarkable at- tainments. Of Chica's most forward Ministers you rank amongst the topmost. Not only the Chinese, but also Europeans who know you hold you in high respect. From being a student-educated abroad, you have, by-shicer--lion-of-a-University-for-Hongkong merit and personal efforts, risen to your pre- sent high position. Chance or outside influence did not play a part in your elevation. I do not propose to take up your valuable time by giving a detailed account of your merits and abilities," which are wall known to all of us bere. Suffice it to say that since you were entrusted with the manage mart of international affairs, in spite of in- Auences having been brought to bear on your action, you have in every inter of importance, succeeded to do the best towards the uphold. fog of your country's dignity and the furthering of your nationals' interests. Unly mon of great capabilities could have achieved this. We seri only hope that op your return now, having gained wider experience and knowledge fram abroad, especially as you have visited more than tes constries, you will receive from the Chinese Government a more important and responsi kle appointment, so that you will be able to. exercise your talents and work China up to a level with the most powerful autions of the world.

HE. Taug, in replying, said that he was vary grateful for what the merchauls, his own countrymen, did for him that day. He had had their kind hospitality before and he enjoyed it again now. As far as ha could recollect, he must say that it was a shame to himself to admit that he had achieved nothing worthy of such eulogy from the Chairman. The weather was hot enough to make him perspire, but Mr. Lau's remarks made things worse. He could feel the sweat trickling down his back. He then his long journey, during which be referred to visited aiaven countries. He did not meet any. Chinose until he arrived at Ceylon on his way back. He was very glad to be back to his homeland again. The speaker humor- ously referred to the present state of trade In Hongkong, which, he hoped, would revive when the cold weather set in. Those present should take the dulness as a temporary rest from hard work. They no doubt needed a holiday in this hot weather. Io conclusion, be thanked the meeting heartily for the welcome extended to him. (Applause).

The gathering was photographed after tea and His Excellency left at about 2 p.m. The pany re-embarked on the German Mailleaving for the North at about 4 p.m.

It is not certain whether His Excellency will proceed to Peking via Tíontein or by the Han- kow and Peking Kailway.'.

The University would enhance the standing of the Colony, and would prove of inestimable advantage to Chinese, whelber resident in the Empire itself, in Hongkong, in the Straits Set- tlements, or in Indo-Chins, by providing facilities for the acquisition of Western learning practically at their doors while it is hoped that the training would dispose students to remem ber sympathetically in after life the associations and teachers connected with their education gained in a British Colony.

H. C. WILCOX, Acting Secretary, Commenting on, the above, the Hirmingham

Post of 16th May says:-"It will be seen by our advertising columos that the China Associ ation of London are inviting subscriptions to wards the project for the establishment of a university at Hongkong. It is not intended that the university shall in any way be influenced by religious bodies of any denomination whatso ever, the sole aim being to supply a sound secular education. Sums totalling £40,000 have already been contributed in this country through members of the association and their friends. The period for the collection of the sum requir ed for the endowment has been extended to December 31 next."

From the foregoing it will be seen that Mr. H. N Mody bar again very generously exten ded the time limit for the collection of the £110,000 required for the endowment and equipment funds by another six months. Why this information has been withheld from Hongkong when it was published in England Just a month ago to the very day remains to be explained. The Colony wey labouring under the impression that the $400,000 or so (nat in cluding H.E, Cheung's undertaking for Si00,000) yet remaining to collect must be raised within the next fortnight before Mr. Mody's manificent offer for the building grant could be availed of. Thanks again to that gentia man's further generosity the last third portion of the money need now cause no anxiety, as assured of one from the Chinese magnato, out of the four lakhs the Governor is already while from the merchants and gentry in Can- ton we have been led to expect another couple of hundred thousand. This leaves a bare one lakh to be subscribed for by the British and foreign Banks and mercantile hougs in Hong- kong. It should be a strange commentary on the British and foreign sections of the com- unity did they fail to account among them
