- Abstract
This article describes a large procession organised by the Chinese of Victoria to raise money for the Melbourne Hospital held on the 28 April 1900. William Ah Ket, a prominet Australian-Chinese lawyer, provided information about the meaning of the various elements of the display for the article.
The article claims that the procession, with over 600 participants, was a traditional Chinese procession and the most impressive one yet put on by the Chinese. The organisers were listed as including: 'W. Shi Geen [Wong Shi Geen], She Wah, Cheok Tan, Hoy Ling, Tseong Kang, Leong Mow, Bob Lay, Tse Shing, Tseong Hoo, W. Ah Ket [William Ah Ket], and the Rev. Moy Ling [Rev. James Moy Ling]'. A four-horse drag in the procession contained the following additional organisers: Hoy Ling, Shi Hoo, Yick Chun, Teong Hoo (probably the same person as Tseong Hoo) and Bok Lay (probably the same person as Bob Lay).
