THE PRINCE’S COMING.
Details of Arrangements.
As each day brings the hour of the Prince’s arrival nearer, the arrangements for the reception of His Royal Highness are being brought more and more to a state of completions. This morning, serveal of …(corrupt data)… more the find …(corrupt data)… of the decorators hand, and there is already a general atmosphere of interested preparedness.
Over the week-end a party of local pressmen had an interesting chat to Mr. Rice, H.E. the Governor’s Private Secretary, who is acting as Secretary for the Prince’s Visit, during the course of which was gleaned the following information regarding the details of Thursday and Friday: –

The Scouts.
The Prince’s view of the Scouts and Girl Guides at Government House as soon as he reaches there will be of an informal nature. H.R.H. wants to see the young people untrammelled by a crowd of onlookers, and beyond His Excellency and party, parents of the Boy Scout who is to receive a medal, and a few others there will be no public audience. The public will not deny the Prince this, that he asked for it confirms the impressions given us of the human side of him.
St. Andrew’s Church Messenger publishes the probable programme, which we understand, may be varied a little. It is as follows:
“Cubs and Brownies will be lined up in horse-shoe formation on the Iawn facing the Main Gate, and Girl Guides and Boy Scouts will be hidden in the trees behind the lawn. Troop colours will be set at intervals behind the horse-shoe line, with one bearer only. On the arrival of the Prince the Brownies and Cubs will give a grand howl and all colours will be dipped. At the end of the grand howl colours will be raised, and at a whistle signal all Guides and Scouts will run out from their hiding places and from up in patrols beside their respective Troop Colours and stand at “alert.” Patrol leaders will be at the head of their patrols, on the right of the leading scout, and the Troop Colours will be on the right of the leading patrol of each Troop. On further whistle signal being given all staves will be raised in the right hand above the head and all will shout in a clear voice “Kung Ying” which is the Chinese expression for welcome. On a third whistle signal all Brownies, Guides, Cubs and Scouts will sit down on the lawn.
His Royal Highness will then speak, and finally will present the Gilt Cross to Patrol Leader Lo Kwok Chung, 7th Hongkong Troop for Life saving. On the order “Alert” being given all will stand and sing the National Anthem, all Guides and Scouts being at the “Salute.” Cheers will then be given and when the Prince has left the grounds Troops will march away, starting from the right.”
The luncheon at Government House will also be a quiet one.

親王訪問
具體安排
隨著親王訪問的日子臨近，迎接親王的預備工作亦進入最後階段。一切有賴各位負責裝飾佈置人員的努力，現在社會已充滿迎駕的氛圍了。
上周末的記者招待會中，總督閣下的私人秘書偉斯先生(Mr. Rice)發表了一些內容，因他亦是親王訪問活動的統籌秘書，所以他得知以下關於星期四及星期五的資訊：
(…)
童軍
親王將以非正規方式於總督府接見男女童軍。殿下希望一眾青年不會受到圍觀群眾的干擾。除了閣下及一眾童軍、獲頒勳章童軍的家長及其他相關人士外，公眾人士不獲邀請。這安排亦反映出殿下人性化的一面。
聖安德烈堂會刊發布了與我們理解有點出入的節目內容，流程如下：
「小狼及小棕仙會於草坪面向正門組成馬蹄形，女童軍及童軍則藏匿於草坪後的樹木。旗手將站立於馬蹄形後方，每個隊伍有一位旗手。親王抵達時，小棕仙及小狼會進行團呼，旗手會作點旗禮。團呼後，各隊旗幟會再次升起，第一聲哨令，所有女童軍及童軍會於其隱匿地點跑向其所屬隊伍立正。各小隊長站在所屬隊伍首位，隊伍由右至左排列，旅旗則於隊伍最右方。第二聲哨令，所有童軍用右手高舉木棍並高呼「恭迎」(即中文歡迎的意思)。第三聲哨令，所有小棕仙、女童軍、小狼、童軍於草坪坐下。
殿下這時候會致以訓詞，然後頒授英勇鍍金十字章予香港第7旅盧國忠(Lo Kwok Chung)小隊長，以表揚其拯救生命。一聲「立正」口令，全體站立並唱國歌，所有女童軍及童軍都會進行敬禮。進行歡呼後，親王離場，所有隊伍由右方開始步操離場。」
午宴將於總督府平靜地進行。
