By way of “an ingenious little electrical arrangement” (South China Morning Post, 8 April 1922), the Prince [of Wales] released the foundation stone at the St Stephen's Girls' College, which was being built at the junction of Littleton Road and Breezy Park, a few miles away from the Pavilion [of the Hong Kong Cricket Club, Central] on the upper levels.  At the Pavilion was a working model “with a little derrick”, and a tiny foundation stone was laid as the actual stone slipped into place.
