Lester Medical Research Institute also arranged an interesting series of Shanghai food fishes for the affair, whilst some plant novelties from the Municipal Nurseries and arranged by Mu. W. J. Kerr were also on exhibition.
Two aquariums of brilliantly coloured tropical fish ranged by Mr. P. H. Barton and Mr. R. Larsen were also commented upon, whilst reproductions of Chinese paintings in the British Museum, and of famous Chinese art objects in Western collections were displayed on the scoopd floor together with a series of rare and interesting books from the society's library which had been arranged by Miss A. Abraham and Mr. W. H. Way.
The soiree was concluded with the showing of a natural colour motion picture of various races comprising the population of the more unclivized parts of the Philippine Islands, which Mr. and Mrs, Richard Hubert had taken when they toured the Islands at the beginning of this year. Appropriate music and the most interesting narrative by Mr. Hubert, which accompanied the screening enhanced its beauty, and this first soiree seems to augur well for the success of those to follow each year.
