AT A CHINESE DINNER.
Observations of the Only European
Guest at the Banquet.

night says the Stars Yokohama cor
respondent, in being the sole European
guest at a dinner party attended by
some 600 progressive Cinnamon. The
occasion was the birthday of Confu-
cius. That sage, according to Chinese
calendars, was born 2449 years ago.
Confucius has still a strong hold on the
educated Chinese, and the party of re-
form, of which the unfortunate Kang-
Yin-Wei was the leader, are particular
ly attached to his teachings. The re-
formers, indeed, have lately been max
ing strenuous efforts to revive the cult
of Confucius and this was the first
time for many years that his birthday
has been celebrated in style. Probably
in China the victorious conservatives
did their best to crush the movement
but here in Yokohama it was a great
success. Nearly all the Chinese of the
place, except the legation people and
the employees of the Russo-Turkish
Bank-who are Manchus- Joined in.
The dinner commenced at 6 80 o'clock
and it ended at II O'clock, and there
was eating and drinking the whole
time, with no laborious speeches to dis
tract the attention, no music to divert
one from the main object and no ir-
ritating humorists to waste time Your

celestial; a plate about two inches in
diameter, a porcelain spoon and some
ivory chop sticks. Each course was
brought on in a large basin, placed in
the centre of the table and the guests
helped themselves as they pleased. The
plate was so small as to be quite use
less, and so the chop sticks moved from
the guests lips to the basin direct in a
manner which was a little repellant to
European ideas. The plate and cup,
I should add, had to serve for about
20 courses.
The first course was of trifes-par-
ched almonds, melon seeds, kind of
radish. and field bananas. Fancy any
one but a Chinese commencing a din
