FOR MACAO.

With the opening of the Hotel Riviera on the 15th January, 1928, Macae will be in the proud position of having one of the finest hotels in South China,

This hotel owes its inception to the energy of the late Mr. Loo Lim- yok, whose interest in public wel- fare prompted him to plan this hotel in the very modern manner in which it is being fitted out. At his death the work was carried an by his brother, Mr. Loo Huon- cheong, with the expert advice of Mr. J. P. Bourne, of the Hongkong Hotel.

Before Mr. Ralpha presented the certificates, he gave a short talk in which he greatly emphasized the value to the home of the type of educational work which is be- ing done in the Y.W.CA. He con gratulated the girls in the First Aid and Home Nursing classes, who took part in the demonstra tions, for their good work. He stated that he is very glad that the Association has organized a new Nursing Division of the St. Jolin Ambulance Brigade. He feels that girls who become members of auch a Division, put themselves in a position to serve the commun- ity as well as the home.

Forty-one certificates were pre sented, twenty-four for First Aid, twelve for Home Nursing and five for third year First Aid...

Oo the accused being found guilty, Mr. Meredith, Chief Inspector (Courte), said that the detectives were sent out on the receipt of in- formation that a big fight between rival gangs of Chinese was about to take place. The societies' con- cerned were the Ghee Hiap and the Ghee Chman Seng.
