WORK OF SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT ́ ́DE PAUL·
REPORT FOR 1923.
The annual fête, from which the So ciety of St. Vincent de Pant obtains the eater part of the revenue for carrying on its splendid work for the poor of the Colony, will be held in the com- pound of the Roman Catholic Cathedral on Sunday, December 5th.
Last year the fête realised $15,000 and between $5,000 and $6,000 were obtained from the annual sale of roses. The net receipts in the Society's hands for dis! posal were nearly $8,000 below those of 1934 and, therefore, the Society's ac tivities had to be considerably curtailed, It is hoped to make amends this year and every effort has been put forward to make the fête especially attractivo, and, a consequence, à record financial success. As usual there are several raffles being organised in connection with the function, including one for a new Fiat

-Business in the tea, coffee, and rubber markets in the City was disorganized on the afternoon of October 21st by a police raid on a club where dozens of clerks from brokers' offices had foregathered."
The raid was made by the City Police on premises known as the Mincing-lane Club. A number of members were taken to Bishopsgate Police Station, and were brought up next day charged with offences under the Gaming Act.
Hundreds of clerks and messengers, and even brokers themselves, forsock business for a time and gathered in finging-lane to watch the police at work. One agitated broker was anxiously rearch ing for his clerk, who held important orders to be cabled abroad. Ca inquiry at the club he was referred to Bishopgate Police Station, whither he went in search of, his clerk and his documents.

Besides providing the articles for the children of the poor, so as to enable them to attend school, the Society also spent during 1925, 8370.44 for blankets and woollen suit lengths, and a special grant of 289 for clothing and umbrellas was made to the orphans at the Blind Home in Shaukiwan.
Names and addresses of all the people present were taken by the police, and two taxicabs were hired to convey some of the
members to the police station.

The club, which has been established nearly a year, was formerly known as the Rubber Club," but the name was later changed to "Mincing-laue Club" in deference to the wishes of the rubber market immediately opposite. It is said that the market authorities objected to the name, and members of the market In consequence of the general trade de were forbidden to belong to the club.

Among them there were many who were entire strangers, and it was difficul. for the Society to investigate by itself the merits of such cases.. In a few in- stances the Council had the pleasure of co-operating with the Hongkong bene- volent Society in attending to some cases that had come to the notice of both. The Society, therefore, welcomes the scheme put forward by the Captain Superintendent of Police for the estab- lishment of Central Reference Office to be financed by the Government and the various charitable Societies, to which all such persons needing assistance should be directed. The scheme will not only prevent over-lapping but assist very much the work of investigation, and it is hoped that it will soon be in a proper working. order.
