quality of the artistes. Indeed it is safe to say that most of the auditors were agreeably sur. prised. Few expected the admirable rendering that was given to this standard melodrama and certainly few anticipated such finished perfor mances from the people on the stage. No higher testimonial could be paid to the work of the amateurs than the rapt attention with which the performance was followed. It attracted all the interest and absorption of play.

A friendly match between the Club and re- presentatives of the Kent was played on the Club ground, and resulted in a draw. At first it looked as if the sailors were likely to prove too much for the landsmen as they put on ac fewer than four goals in the first half to the single point gained by their opponents. How- erer the second half saw a change and the Club notched three goals and drew level, the result being a draw, four goals each.

He urged that immediate steps should be taken to invite subsiptions and stated that he would leave his offer open for siz months from 1st Jammary, 1909, with this object.
Before proceeding further it is necessary to explain the allusions to the "Hongkong Medical College," which appear in the resolu tions. This College was founded in 1887 for the education chiefly of Chinese in medicine and surgery. During the 21 years of its existence over 102 students have been enrolled, 36 have been declared to be qualified to practise as Licentiates" and 24 are still undergoing their training. The diploma of qualification however, does not represent a medical degrés and though the licentiates have practised in the Colony and elsewhere with very excellent results, they are not of course recognised se qualified medical practitioners by the General Medical Council of Great Britain or by the Hongkong Government.

Scores justified the course adopted. The performance and analysis are as follows:- was completed without a hitch. The prompter's offles was not enirous and everybody moved on and off the stage as to the manner born. The ease with which the tyros nequitted themselves was a revelation, and the display was such as to please their friends and rouse the enthusiasm of the audience. This found expression in frequené rounds of applause. It was evident too that the approbation of the spectators materially helped the amateurs who settled to their work and gave a production which vanished al criticisms. The scenery was shifted in ro- markably quick time, and the way in which i was handled earned the encomiums of the audience who could not fail to appreciate the excellent workmanship which contributed to this result. In coming to speak of the work of the artistes themselves, the first point calling or two for comment is that, with one minor exceptions, the parts were admirably alled. No better interpretation of the difficalt role of the Silver King" could have been wished for than that supplied by Mr. R. H. Barter. He looked the tragedian and he invested the pathetic and tragic events in which he participated with a refreshing realism. Not only that, but he showed a capacity for the lighte element when he assumed the disguise of " deaf Dicky" In a word his performance was clever and effective.

On another coession they missed a point through an error of judgment on the part of Coyne. He had beaten the men against hiza and had a good chance to drive at goal. Instead he passed to Wilks, the centre, unally the correct thing to do, but the latter was just off- side, and, though he beat the goalkeeper, the point was not allowed. A good game ended in to draw.
