THOUSANDS FLOCK TO COLONY

COLOURFUL SPECTACLES WATCHED BY CROWDS WITH fitting ceremonial and pageantry, the Colony of Hongkong to-day loyally and enthusiastically began its celebration of Silver Jubilee Week under conditions giving promise of a most colourful and happy observance of an unforgettable occasion in the history of the Empire.

So great is the interest centred in the celebrations that there has been a tremendous influx of visitors from South China, estimates of the number who have come here to see the sights varying between 100,000 and 200,000.

With the majority of the main thoroughfares both on the island and mainland gaily decorated for the occasion, and the huge Chinese procession causing hundreds of thousands of people to line the streets, the Colony to-day presented a memorable scene of happy rejoicing on the part of all sections of the community. To-night, with the magnificent Illuminations in full operation, an even more striking scene will be. witnessed.

Special Thanksgiving Services were held at the Anglican and Catholic Cathedrals this morning, and at a public meeting to endorse a loyal address to be sent to His Majesty, H.E. the Governor paid a glowing tribute to Their Majesties, loyalty to whom, he said, was the basis of the unity of the Empire.

Those who were away from the p business contres of the Colony yesterday and made their way through the streets of the City this morning were greeted with a most pleasing transformation.

With the exception of Statue Square there was hardly a flag-or strip of hunting in evidence when

tho business houses closed Saturday and a stranger visiting the Colony during the morning would, hardly have conceived that within forty-eight hours the Colony of Hongkong was to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty. But during yesterday workmen were feverishly at work to deck Hongkong in a manner fitting such a celebration with flags and a gay aight met the eyes this morning. From almost every building along the waterfront Union Jacks are hung from the balconies and waved In the breeze from flagpoles on the roof top. In Statue Square Me there was a maze of colour where the main scheme of decoration was a series of posts draped with bi-

feet apart along the sidewalks with

pended between them.

Jubilee Thanksgiving Services held at the Anglician. and Roman Catholic Cathedrals this morning. Both were most impressive events, and a colourful note was struck by the attendance of numerous naval and mili- tary officers in uniform.

In-the-course of his sermon at the St. John's Cathedral service, which was attended by His Excel- lency the Governor and Lady Peel, Bishop Hall gave some personal memories of His Majesty and referred to the King's tireless devotion to duty and his great concern that no person and no personal interest should be overlooked amid the weight of business.

Bishop Valtorta, in his sermon at the Catholic. Cathedral, said a closer bond of sympathy existed to- day between King George and his Catholic subjects than between them and His Majesty's predecessors since the Reformation.
