To day I am happy to be occupying similar position, and to witness a further demonstration af Your Excellency's goodwill towards, and continued Interest in, our Associa tion.

It will probably come as a big surprise to film fans to learn that Mr. Ronald Colman, world-famous star of filmdom, was in Hongkong. yesterday for a few hours, in the course of a world-tour.

It is such a short time-nine months to be exact-since I lald the foundation stone of this now wing, that I feel there is little that c usefully add to what I sald on that occasion. Mr. Shenton then gave us a very full history of this branch of the Association. and he has today given us a ful account of the resources of this now building. My remarks there- fore will be very brief, more especially as there are more attrae tive entertainments in store for us.
