Plans of the proposed build- ing wore exhibited at the Hongkong Club in October, 1862, calculated on an ex- penditure of $34,000.

It was decided that the build. ing bo named the City Hall and that it compromise tho combination in one building of a theatre, library and suite of assembly rooms.

The Government made a grant of, a free elte in 1864 and the foundation stone was laid on February 23rd, 1867; by Sir Richard Macdonell, the then Governor.

The building was opened on November 2nd, 1869, by H.R.H. Prince Alfred, Duke of Edin- burgh. The first performance was given in the Theatre Royal on the following night by the Amateur Dramatle Corps and members of the German Club Concordia.
