NOTES OF THE DAY

AUBREY BOWES-SMITH

Hongkong "has suffered an ex- tremely heavy loss by the passing of Aubrey Bowes-Smith, cut off in the prime of manhood, with the promise of a life of beneficent activity left partially, unfulfilled. In Colony which lacks much in cultural energies,, he strove might and main in the Interests of art in one of its highest forms. Devoted to all that was best in music, both he and his sorrowing wife did much to preserve its claim to In recognition in our midst. social life also, Mr. Bowes- Smith was universally loved, by his urbanity, reason of his sterling charactor, and his high ideals. Despite the pressing calls of business, he was ever at the ser- vico of the community, and his enthusiasm in a cause which he made peculiarly his own must have taken a heavy toll on his time and energiest. A devoted husband, loving father, a man of great per- sonal charm, he was the friend of all and the enemy of none. The whole Colony to-day mourns his death, but his memory will live on: he was a citizen of whom long- kong cult justly be proud. The knowledge of the heritage be has left behind will help in some small measure to assunge the grief of those who have been so unexpectedly bereaved. Stubbs Road. GOLDEN TALES FOR SILVER
