MOKANSHAN NOTES

From Our Own Correspondent, Mokanshan, July 14.

Our mountain community was delighted last evening with a really wonderful piano recital given by Miss S. R. Hodgson, Australia. It was the first time that many of us had seen the inside of the new Assembly Hall, which is to be formally opened tomorrow. Miss Hodgson's play-ign was of the highest order, and was most thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Hodgson was also very gracious in playing, by request, favourites of her audience. The Rev. and Mrs. Gordon Poteat also delighted everyone with two songs.

The sympathy of our community goes out to Mr. -and Mrs. J. M. Wilson of Hangchow College, in the death of their little six months old son, who died at 2.30 yesterday afternoon. The little fellow was the picture of health, and one of the finest' looking babies on the mountain. He was taken ill on Tuesday night, and although all was done for him that medical skill could suggest, he passed away in Jess than three days. The interment will take place here on the mountain and the funeral_will be held at five this afternoon.
