Your Excellencies, ladies and thera topk gentlemen,-Whon place last autumn that interesting "Grand Tattoo," in beautiful Hongkong an event of which we have such fond recollections- Mrs. Southorn · suggested to Macao's co-operation in the pro- duction of another charity show, which could offer, by way of at tractions, dances characteristical- ly national of the peoples repre- of sented by the communities Hongkong.

The suggestion was most kind and at once aroused my interest hy the particularly kind manner in which the invitation was extended to me, and more so by its under- lying significance.

Returning to Macao from Hong- kong. I conveyed the kind pro- posal to Maeno, and Macao

ac-

cepted it with very great pleasure indeed, cheerfully undertaking to co-operate, thus testifying to Mrs. Macao's appreciation of Southorn's thoughtfulness for the charities of Macno.

With auch a ready response. It wan easy to organize Macao's re- presentation. Presently you will be given an exhibition of our national dances and songs, not by professional performers, but with the greatest of good-will, to let you all have a real idea of the ballads and roundelays of our own land. I say again it la with a happy heart that we co-operate in this work of charity, and do our share, to bring yet more closely the friendly ties that bind the two neighbouring colonios,~~ (Applause).

Congratulations.

Lady Clementi's Absence.

I feel only one regret at this moment the absence of Lady Clo menti. I remember very well when she was at Macao how onthusias tie she was at seeing, for the first time, the merry Portuguese dances, Sir Cecil, we thank you most sincerely for this proof of friend- ship. I ask Your Excellency to kindly let Lady Clementi know how much we all feel her absence, knowing that she is so far away, and unable to participate with us in our joy,

Now let me, say a few words about dances and songs, which I hope all of you may some day see danced amidst the picturesque beauty of their native environment with, for their background, our rugged, lofty hills, our rich vine- yards and orchards, the bright blue of our sunny skles, and, in short, with all the exuberance of the lovely land which I am for. tunate enough to be able to say gave me birth-(Applause).
