10.30, the Theatre Roynt was well filled long before that time. During the in- terval of waiting, enjoyable selec- tions were rendered by the Punjab band who occupied the orchestra space by the stage.

An extensive decoration scheme had been carried out at the main entrance to the City Hall and up the stairway leading to the stage of the Theatre Royal. Ferns, lags and toured bunting at the en- trance made a gala spectacle and this effect was also extended to the top of the stairway. As is custom- ary on such occasions, the time- honoured practice of laying a red carpet was followed, this extending from the entrance to the bottom of the stairs,

Outside the building, officers and men of the Punjab Regiment were drawn up and when Sir William Peel, Lady Peel and party arrived in motor cars, escorted by members of the Flying Squad and traffic police, the guard presented arms smartly.

Party Arrives.

In the City Hall, His Excellency,' the Oficer Administering the Gov- ernment, introduced Sir William Peel and party to members of the Reception Committee after which the Committee, accompanied by Sir William Peel and party mounted the stairs, walked to the stage of the Theatre Royal and took their allotted seats.

Address of Welcome. When Sir William Peel arrived at his seat, the band played the Na- tional Anthem after which the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton, Senior Bri- tish Unofficial Member of the Le- gislative Council, read the Address of Welcome to Sir William Peel in the following terms:

Hongkong, however, brave- ly shouldered her own burdens with a courage and patience that we ad- mired and successfully steered her course through her trouble, and, in a large measure at all events, re- gained her former prosperity.

A Formidable List.

A Colony such as this, however, must always have many problems to face, and Mr. Shenton has given me a sficiently formidable list-- (laughter), and I understand even that does not include all those that exist.-(laughter).
