THE GRAND TATTOO CONCLUDES.

HUGE CROWDS GATHER ON FINAL NIGHT.

BRILLIANT SUCCESS.

The third and final night of the Tattoo on Saturday drew an Immense crowd which exceeded even the additional number of tickets issued, large as it was, and left the officials somewhat bewildered as to how to appease the remainder who besleged the gaten of the ground from an early hour, vainly clamouring for ad- mission, When the Tattoo opened promptly on the stroke of time, every seat was taken up by an audience whose number must have broken all records for a night show estimated in Hongkong. It was that fully 7,000 people were present,

Additional distinction was con- ferred on this the last performance by the presence of His Excellency the Governor of Mueno with Madame Barbaya and party. Ben- hor Tamagnini de Barbosa arrived at the ground logether with His Excellency the Officer Administor- ing the Government and with the latter inspected the smart Guard of Honours which on this night was provided by the Portuguese Company of the Hongkong Volun- teer Defence Corps.

Escorted to the oficial stand, where they took their seats with Major-General C. C. Luard, the Chairman and other officials of the Committee, -Their- Excellencies watched a performance which in a warm de- many respicels wan monstration of Anglo-Portuguese amity.
