There were, however, more who conscientiously donned frock or claw- hammer. A diversity of opinion as to head- gear was noticeable. an occasional Panama showing among the silk hats. a strong leavening of naval and military uniforms. so that the assembly looked quite imposing.

WHAT THE ̈L & CEXPRESS" SAYS. Sir Matthew Nathan, the new Governor of Hongkong, has left London for Marseilles, where he will join the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Moldavia. The new W. Bridie : Jemadar Bhna Rao Bhosle. Governor will be accompanied by Lieutenant W. Arbuthnot-Leslie, as aide-de-camp. His private secretary, Mr. R. Ponsonby, is already at Hongkong. Sir Matthew has met most of the prominent former or present residents of Hongkong who are in this country. It is not too much to say that he has created a very favourable impression, which, added to his previous record. bids fair to give Hongkong & governor of an able type and of broad mind, which is what the Colony requires in the present state of affairs in the Far East. Its now Governor is still young enough to be full of energy, and not yet to have the fear of pros- pective pension before his eyes. At the same time Sir Matthew's forty-three years have been largely busy ones, by which he has gained much experience of both men and other matters.
