HONGKONG ON HOSPITALITY BENT.
PRINCE OF WALES HERE.
COLONY IN FINE ATTIRE.
HOMAGE OF LEADING CITIZENS.
Everything Fine Save Weather.
HIS FAMOUS SMILE.
The great day is here.
Hongkong has welcomed the King’s eldest son and is still busy, with “nods and becks and wreathed smiles,” with cheers and glad colours, manifesting its feelings of loyalty to our Reigning House.
Such opportunities come seldom. It is reasonable to make the most of them. The occasion is historic. It ought to imprint imperishable memories, memories worth recalling.
The Prince is a charming man. “So good looking,” say our ladies. “A real sport,” add the men. And he is the British Crown Prince, our future King-Emperor. What more to say?
Below the various members of the China Mail reporting staff, who have been very busy, narrate the various events of the day, from their respective angles of observation.
It is a pleasure to note that all so far has gone well, and is going well all, that is, save the weather. And even that might have been worse.
Now to our records.
PROCESSION TO GOVERNMENT HOUSE.
FURTHER ENTHUSIASTIC SCENES.
After the ceremony in the Pavilion, Lady Stubbs proceeded by motor car to Government House where in the uniform of the Chief of the Girl Guides, she received the Prince with the Guides and Scouts under Rev. Waldegrave.
As the Prince and the Governor left the Pavilion, the Guard of Honour presented arms. H.E. the Governor headed the procession to Government House in a black chair with scarlet satin cushion, borne by eight coolies in white trousers and red coats with white crowns on their sleeves and mandarin hats. There was an escort of eight Indian Police on either side of the chair. Captain Neville, R.M.L.I., the Governor’s A.D.C. and two additional Indian A.D.C.s, walked behind the chair. The Prince followed in his chair also escorted by Indian Police, with Inspector Garrod and two Indian Inspectors behind. Behind the Prince’s chair came three more chairs with four bearers, walking abreast and containing members of the Prince’s Staff. Other members of the Prince’s Staff followed in motor cars.
The route taken was round the front of the Queen Victoria statue, lined on both sides by Naval men, into Chater Road lined by men of the King’s Regiment into Pedder Street along the front of the Hongkong Hotel, also lined by King’s men. The procession then turned into Queen’s Road Central lined by men of the 102nd K.E.O., Grenadiers up to the Indian arch erected on the east side of the City Hall. The R.G.A., and H.K.S.B., R.G.A., then took up the line along the rest of Queen’s Road and up Garden Road up to the level of Lower Albert Road where the British and Chinese R.E., and the H.K.V.D.C., lined the road to the entrance of Government House. Here a Guard of Honour from the H.K.V.D.C. Infantry and Scottish Companies were drawn up outside under the command of Lieut. A.Murdoch and Lieut. T.W.Hill, M.C. The Pipers of the H.K.V.D.C. were also in attendance and played as the Prince left his chair and inspected the Guard of Honour and again when H.R.H., entered the gates of Government House accompanied by H.E. the Governor. The route was crowded all along and lusty cheers were raised as H.R.H. passed. As the procession passed the Murray Parade ground along the side of Murray Barracks, a long string of fire crackers were fired followed by a set up of British and Japanese flags extending from a pole in the centre of the parade and attached to the trees on the sides, were unfurled.

香港熱情招待
威爾斯親王
華麗的殖民地
優秀的居民
除了天氣外一切都很好
他有名的笑容
今天是一個好日子。
香港為歡迎國王的長子,現正十分忙碌,市民「點頭示意、優雅微笑」,歡呼與喜樂之聲,充分展現出對皇室的忠貞之情。
這種機會因為很少見,如何充分利用這個機會則顯得十分合理。這將會是歷史性的時刻。這將會成為畢生難忘的回憶,值得回味的回憶。
親王玉樹臨風,「太俊俏了」女士評價,「是真漢子」男士補充。這就是英國的皇太子,未來的國王暨皇帝。應該沒甚麼需要補充吧?
以下是德臣西報忙碌地參與了各式各樣活動的前線報導,用不同的角度來觀察這事件。
很高興的說,一切事情進展都很順利。除了天氣,沒有最差,只有更差。
以下是我們的報導。
前往總督府
更多熱情的場面
當海傍的儀式結束後,身穿女童軍會長制服的司徒拔夫人(Lady Stubbs)隨即乘汽車前往總督府,與帶領著男女童軍的華德利牧師(Rev. Waldegrave)準備迎駕。
親王與總督離開海傍時,儀仗隊向他們敬禮。總督閣下坐著一台有紅色墊子的黑色轎子,帶領隊伍前往總督府,這台轎子由八位身穿白褲紅衣的苦力抬動,他們的衣袖與官帽都有繍上皇冠。總督轎子由八名印度警察護衛。總督副官尼維爾上尉 RMLI皇家海軍陸戰隊輕型步兵 (Captain Neville)及兩位印度副官則在轎子之後。隨後是親王轎子,轎子亦由印度警察護駕,包括嘉羅德幫辦 (Inspector Garrod)以及兩位印度督察跟隨其後。親王轎子後方再來三台並排的四人轎子,轎內是親王的隨行人員。其他親王的幕僚則於後方乘坐汽車跟隨。
行走路線先經過維多利亞女王銅像,兩旁為海軍官兵;轉入遮打道,兩旁皆為京士軍團(King’s Regiment)官兵,香港大酒店前的畢打街,亦是京士官兵。轉入皇后大道中,兩旁為第102愛德華國王擲彈兵團(102nd K.E.O., Grenadiers),一直排列至大會堂東側的印度拱門。皇家要塞炮兵團(R.G.A.)、香港新加坡皇家要塞炮兵團(H.K.S.B., R.G.A.),由皇后大道排列至花園道再到下亞厘畢道;英籍及華籍工兵部隊(R.E.)及香港義勇防衛軍(H.K.V.D.C.),則由路旁排列至總督府大門。門外有由香港義勇防衛軍及蘇格蘭風笛隊組成的儀仗隊,由默多克少尉(Lieut. A.Murdoch)及希爾少尉 MC軍功十字章 (T.W.Hill)指揮。香港義勇防衛軍的風笛手於殿下下轎、檢閱儀仗隊、及由總督閣下陪同進入總督府時都有作出演奏。沿途路線人頭湧湧,殿下途經時歡呼喝采聲不絕於耳。當車隊途經美利兵房旁邊的美利操場時,有人燃放了一串很長的炮仗及一些煙花。還有一串串很長的、掛著英國及日本旗子的繩子由操場中心的桿子繫至操場旁的樹木上。

SCOUTS GREET H.R.H.
PATROL LEADER DECORATED.
A horseshoe formation of “wolf cubs” and “brownies” confronted the Prince when he came into the grounds of Government House close upon half past twelve. Behind the “wolf cubs,” who are the younger generation of boy scouts, and the “brownies,” who are junior girl guides, stood older scouts who bore their troop colours. On a signal from the Commissioner (the Rev. G. T. Waldegrave) the youngsters greeted H.R.H. with their “grand howl” and the old Chinese Kong Ying salute. Then the Commissioner blew his whistle and on the instant out from their hiding places in the surrounding shrubberies sprang a horde of boy scouts and girl guides, all yelling shrilly. At first it looked as though they were about to stampede the Prince but directly it was seen that they had formed up with admirable precision upon their troop colour bearers.
When the children had saluted the Prince with their staves Patrol Leader Lo Kwok-chung was brought forward to received at the hands of H.R.H. the Gilt Cross a highly prized Scout decoration which has been awarded to him for bravery in rescuing a boy from drowning at Kennedy Town.
Addressing the youngsters afterwards H.R.H. said: “It is a very great pleasure to me to have this opportunity of seeing you this morning. As I realise that you have only been started a little over a year I congratulate you on your very smart appearance. I wish you every possible success here in Hongkong and I hope you have got more boys and girls to follow your example and join up.”
Following the singing of the National Anthem lusty cheers were given for His Royal Highness, the “Chief Scout of Wales” and then the Prince and his staff disappeared up the steps of Government House where H.R.H. was to take his tiffin.
Between four and five hundred scouts and girls guides took part in the parade. The participating troops were:-
SCOUTS.
First Hongkong troop (St. Joseph’s College; Scoutmaster L. Guterres).
Second Hongkong troop (St. Andrews’ Kowloon; Scoutmaster A.E. Farrell).
Third Hongkong troop (First Wanchai; Scoutmaster A. Kirk)

Fifth Hongkong troop and rover scouts (Scoutmaster; R.W. Barnev).

Eighth Hongkong Troop (Wesleyan; Scoutmaster T. K. Chak).

童軍覲見殿下
小隊長受勳
下午十二時三十分,親王步入總督府前的場地,那裡有由小狼及小棕仙組成的馬蹄形。小狼即是年紀較小的童軍,而小棕仙則是年紀較小的女童軍。他們的後方是較年長的童軍旗手。總監(華德利牧師)的一次訊號,全體童軍以團呼及中國恭迎禮向殿下致敬。總監接著吹動哨子,一眾男女童軍即由周邊樹叢中一邊歡呼一邊走來。初時以為他們會撞倒親王,但轉眼間他們已於相應隊旗前整齊排列。
當眾小孩用木棍向親王致敬後,小隊長盧國忠(Lo Kwok-chung)獲親王召見,並由殿下親自頒發英勇鍍金十字章,以高度表揚其於堅尼地城拯救遇溺小孩的英勇行為。
接著殿下對眾小孩致以訓示:本王於今早召見你們感到非常高興。當知道你們復會剛過一年時,本王對各位出色的表現表示贊許。祝願你們會務更勝一籌,亦希望更多的男童女童可效法你們,成為你們的一份子。
在高唱國歌,及對「威爾斯童軍總領袖殿下」歡呼後,親王與隨行人員步入總督府晉膳。
