HONG KONG .

I TIHE Freemasons never do things by halves . It is now some years •*¦ since a Masonic Ball has been given by the Craffc in Hong Kong , the last occasion being on tho 22 nd Jan . 1874 , when a highly successful ball took place at the City Hall , Sir Arthur and Miss Kennedy gracing ifc with their presence . That entertainment was , however ,

surpassed b y the present ball given in the City Hall , to which upwards of 800 guests were invited . The assemblage was a numerous and brilliant one , the decorations were of a superb description aud in tho best possible taste , the arrangements for dancing and refreshment were all that could bo desired , and the wholo entertainment did tho

greatest honour alike to tho generosity and tasts of tho members of the Craft . The ball will , in fact , be an event to be remembered in the colony . At tho entrance to the City Hall an imposing portico covered with evergreens and hung with lanterns had been erected , and immediatel y in front of this on a lofty post the powerful anrand lamp .

wnich has on ono or two occasions been exhibited in different parts of the town , had been placed . In the entrance hall the pillars were lestooned with evergreens , and plants and enfc foliage lined the way to the stairs . At the foot of tho stairs were two massive gilt pillars reaching nearl y to the ceiling , each adorned with chapiters . These

pillars wero surmounted by two spherical balls , on which were delineated maps of tho celestial and terrestrial globes , with a ring of gas jets around them , and suspended between these was tho emblematic square and compass in gas , with the letter G . in the centre . The stairs were covered with a red carpet edged with bine and white , and on the fiT VM " ' fncitl " entrance , was the W . M . ' s pedestal , bearing me bible and the perfect ashlar , with crossed sVrords in front , the

Hong Kong.

pedestal being surrounded with cut flowers . Above this was a hand * somo mirror , surmounted by a star in gas . On each side of this was fixed a similar star with Master Masons' shields between . On tho side walla wero hung four largo pictures representing tho four cardinal virtues , namely . Temperance , Fortitude , Prudence , and Justice , each surmounted by a star . Tho effect of theso decorations was

resplendent , and tho staircase looked especially brilliant . On the top landing , abovo the staircase , hung a portrait of tho M . W . G . M . hia Royal Highness the Prince of Wato * , with a five-pointed star abovo , and tho walls wero decked with tho flags and arms of various nations . Both St . George ' s and St . Andrew's Halls wero used for dancing , and oach was elegantly decorated . Afc the linad of tho former was a

magnificent trophy composed of Masonio furniture and emblems of nearly every degree in Masonry , surmounted by tho banner of the District Grand Lodge of Hong Kong and South China and flanked by the banners of tho Perseverance Lodge and Royal Arch . Around tho walls wore hung flags , shields bearing Masonic emblems , and tho Royal Arch bannorets . Tho decorations in St . Andrew ' s Hall wore of

a similar character , at the head of tho room boing the sqnaro and compass in gilt and the banner of the Zetland Lodge . Tho verandahs wore tented in with flags and hung with Chinese and Japanese lanterns with Masonio emblems painted on thorn . About a quarter to ten his Excellencv Major-General Donovan , Mrs . Donovan , Lady Smale , tho Hon . W . H . and Mrs . Marsh arrived , when the Depnty District Grand

Master vory Worshipfnl Bro . C . P . Chater , supported by tho Officers of the District Grand Lodge , received them in the portico . The D . D . G . M . escorted Mrs . Donovan , tho rest of the party following , under an " arch of steel" formed by tho Knights Templar to the foofc of the staircase , which was lined on either side by members of tho Royal Arch and Master Masons in full regalia , presenting altogether

an imposing spectacle . The procession was heralded by trumpeters belonging to tho 27 th Regiment , aud procoeded to tho ladies cloak room . Another procession was then formed to tho head of St . George ' s Hall , tho Masons lining tho route on either side . The ballroom presented a scene of gaiety never , perhaps , equalled in Houg Kong , all the Masons being dressed in their various collars , scarves and aprons .

Dancing was commenced about ten o ' clock to tho strains of tho bund of the 27 th Inniskillings , under tho direction of Horr Werner . The ball was opened by Mrs . Donovan with the D . D . G . M ., tho General taking Lady Smale , Commodore Smith Mrs . Marsh , and tho Hon . W . H . Marsh Mrs . Geddes . Supper took place at midnight , after the tenth dance , the guests again passing under an arch of steel formed

by the Rose Croix . The theatre had been improvised for the supperroom , a temporary floor having been constructed on the level of the orchestra . The decorations here were perhaps more brilliant than in tho ball rooms . Ou the stage was tho V . W . D . D . G . M . ' s table , afc which Major-General and Mrs . Donovan , La'ly Smale , Hon . W . II . aud Mrs . Marsh , Colonel Stuart R . E ., Lienfc .-Colonol and Mrs . Hall , Lieut .-

Colonel and Mrs . Geddes , and Commodoro Smith were seated . Behind tin ' s there was a fountain playing , the band being placed at the rear . The general tables in the auditorium wero arranged in tho form of Masonio emblems , the square and compass occupying the greater portion of tho space , with another tablo between tho points of tho compass in the form of tho Senior Warden's level , while on each side were

tables in the form of tho Junior Warden ' s plumb-rule . On the tables was a large quantity of racing plate , kindly lent ; by tho owners . The theatre was hung with festoons and lanterns , with numerous five-pointed stars , while in front of fche Governor's box was a device of Masonio banners and shields . While the decorations were splendid , it is needless to say that tho catering was of tho besfc . Tho menu cards when
