PRINCE AND THE GOVERNOR.
An unreported incident that occurred during the late Sir Henry Blake's governorship- of Hongkong is worth jJutting on record. Prince Henry of Prussia (popularly referred to as "the mailed fist") was frequently in Hongkong harbour when he paid a" visit to China, which resulted in the creation of the ' German colony at Tsingtau, •and Princess Henry occupied a house •n the hUlside belonging to a promln--ent locaK Teutonic merchant. The "German community gave a ball in the City Hall in honour" of the Prince and iFiincess. It was attended by his Excellency Sir Henry Blake and Lady Slake, and such British residents as were considered fit to meet a Germao Prince. -
