For these exa'nina- tlons 19 candidates sat, 18 of whom were successful. In the Elementary stage, Chen Shiu-ki the frat boy, passed with a good speed of 51 not words a minute and Pong Tak-ming the second one, with 60 not words a minute. In the advanced stage, Gussy Joseph Lau attained a speed of 64 net words a minute and Chee Sik-yeo came next with a speed of 60 not words a minute.

The dinner tables were laid out in the roof garden, and at the conclu- sion of the dinner the big crowd sd- journed to the dancing floor of the

Rose Room, where the music was supplied by Dick Leutorio's band and the hotel waltz orchestra.

wife of the Italian Consul-Gedéral, who displayed a tuneful sóprano in a couple of dainty vocal numbers, Madaine H. Mein proved herself a vory finished ballet dancer in a delightful number.

The popular pair Hugo and Jose- phine, who have been appearing at the Peninsula Hotel recently, also added to the entertainment with several ball-room exhibitions..

After midnight, the clever Joy Fun Toy troupe of Chinese acrobats and Jugglers brought along their paraphernalia and gave a couple of the entertaining turns that have made them so popular with Hong. kong, The big crowd continued the festivity until 2 a.m.

Mrs. W. T. Southorn, wife of H.E. the Officer Administering the Government, and Patroness of the carnival, had intended to be present, but was unavoidably provented from attending..
