Chefoo, May 25.
British residents determined that Empire Day should not pass unnoticed, and the afternoon's programme for the commemoration of the anniversary could not have been more attractive or successful. The weather was all that could be desired. British and Allied residents turned' up at the Recreation round in full force and this rendezvous had quite a gala appearance. A number of booths had been erected round the ground) at which were all the attractions to be found Hampstead Heath on Bank Holiday. Genial members of the community playing the role of clowns provided fun that the children will not quickly forget. An accurate interpretation of what the young people of Chefoo would appreciate was evidently made and they catered for tHeir tastes unmistakable. There was nothing to pay. All the side shows, the cocoanut throws, Aunt Sally, the Shooting Gallery, and the Fish Pond were all free to the children. It was obviously their afternoon, and they enjoyed all that there was to enjoy and. none seemed happier than the genial and generous hosts in their efforts to make the programme the huge success that it was.
