JUBILEE SOUVENIRS

H. E. THE GOVERNOR GIVES TABLETS TO GUILDS

Exprosaing the official apprecia tion of the Chinese processions in the Silver Jubilee celebration, His Excellency the Governor,

Sir William Peel, will give, four- wooden tablets to each of the Fish mongers' Guild, the Butchers' Guild and the Poultry Dealers' Guild.

The three guilds were respon sible for the presentation of the various dragons and numerous other features to the processions. The fourth tablet will be given to the Li Woo Lok Tong troupo tho manipulators of the multi-coloured dragon. This troupe is considered to be the best among the bands of dragon bearers.

Similar in size but different-in their wording, each of theso wooden tableta is beautifully set up with Chiness characters of gold against a striking background of dark blue with suitable inscriptions of appreciation by His Excellency the, Governor. On each tablet is set also the name of the distinguished. donor and the res- pective recipients.

Each of the tablets measures about nine feet by three feet. They have been sent to the Office

the Secretary for Chinese Affairs. It is understood that they may be presented to the various guilds by the Hon. Mr. N. L. Smith on behalf of His Ex- cellency the Governor.

Organisers of the Chinese pro- cessions have given a few small nymbolic figures made of paper, taken from the tableaux In the Chinene procession, to Lady Peel, as souvenirs of the auspicions occasion.

Dragon Display

Thousands of spectators were thrilled at the South China Athlette Association ground, Caroline H, en Saturday night when the Gauzo Dragon and Silver Dragon, which had } taken part in the extensive Jubilee celebrations earlier in the week, participated in a spectacular display which terminated "with a striking combat between the two dragons.

It was the last opportunity of seeing these unique creatione; and in apito of the parades through the Colony streets on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday laat week, the crowds were excited as ever at the sight of the display.

It is understood that, together with Friday night's takings, the total roalised wan $5,000 odd. All this, after defraying incidental expenses, will be donated to the Home for the Aged Poor at Kowloon City.

Crowds thronged the slands, and the hillside over-looking the Caroline Hi football field was also packed with Chinese enger to gain n. view of the dragons in action.

The performance of the Gauze, Dragon provided splendid entertain- ment with its chase for a pearl in the form of a red lantern.

At-the-conclusion-of-the-nct-in order to give the dragon a "breather," clowna, lion and tiger heads and men dressed as women paraded the ground to the great amusement of the specta; tors.

In the grand finale the silver and gnuxo dragons met in combat. It was a spectacular display as each dragon attempted to gain possession of the pearl. The dragons were brilliantly lit from within and their contortions were most convincing.

Kowloon Procession

Kowloon was treated to a dragon Procession yesterday, the golden sorpent of the Poultry Deniere' Guild covering the main streets of the Peninsult at mid-day in its last public appearance.

In the evening the same guild paraded their other dragon, multi-coloured creature of gor goous aspect, in Hongkong from West

Peint along Des Voeux Road West, Queen's Road West and Coa- tral, Central Market, Des Voeux Road Central, Bonham Strand East and West, Connaught Road Central, Murray Street, Arsonal Street, Johnstone Road, Hennessey Road, Lockhart Road, and back to central district, where the procession broke up.
