BOY SCOUTS.

Presentations at the University.

The presentation of a large flag with staff and a challenge shield to the Fifth Troop of the Hongkong Boy Scouts took place on the football ground of the Hongkong University yesterday afternoon in the presence of a large gathering, including Sir William Brunyate and Lady Brunyate, the Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak, patron of the Troop, and a company of Girl Guides. After an interesting exhibition of scout work, such as signalling with flags and rendering first aid to "people injured in accidents," Mrs. Lau Tak-po presented the colours to the Scoutmaster of the Fifth Troop and Mrs. R. H. Kotewall handed a shield to a member of the Troop. The shield was presented by Mr. R. H. Kotewall. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Mrs. Kotewall and Mrs. Lau Tak-po were presented with a beautiful bouquet each, after which cheers were given for the two ladies, Hon. Mr. Lau Chu-pak, the Commissioner of Boy Scouts the Rev. G. T. Waldegrave, and others.
