V.R.C. ANNUAL MEETING.
CLUB'S FINANCIAL
NEEDS.
CHANGES IN THE RULES,
There was a large attendance at the annual meeting of the Victoria Recreation Club held in the Club's premises yesterday,
Mr. W. Logan took the chair, and was supported by Mr. A. F. B. Silva-Netto, Mr. J. R. Soares, Mr. G. R. Razavet, Mr. H. Hyndman (Hoa, Treasurer), and Mr. C. J. Cooke (Hon. Secretary).
Addressing the meeting. the Chairman asked the gathering to stand in silence for a few moments
BANVARD'S BEST PLAY.
...'' DIVERSION"; A TRAGEDY.
For reasons unknown to na-and for that matter which are no concern of ours-the management of the Banvard Comedy Company kept a trump-card up its sleeve. On the last night of their appearance at the Star Theatre, 'Kowloon, the best, play in their repertoire was pro- duced-" Diversion," by John van ¦ Druten, author of another very re- | markable play, Young Woodley," There was a crowded house at the Star on Tuesday, and if the play were offered again the "S.R.O." notices would be up hours before- the rising of the curtain.

HAGEN SPRINGS A SURPRISE.
NOT TO MEET: ARCHIE COMPSTON.
TIRED, AND NEEDS REST.
[THROUGH RETTER'S AGENCY.]
Pants, May Walter Hagen, who is competing at the St. Cloud tournament, stated that he will be unable to fulfil his engagement to meet Archic Comps- ton at Moor Park on 31ay 31 and at Birmingham on June 1.
He said, I am very tired, and I require rest.”.
I have had a strenuous time and could not do justies to myself or to the public in going on with the matches against Compston..
"I regret this very much, büt what more can I do I shall go to Germany, and afterwards to the South of France before returning to America in about a week's time."
"Diversion" deals with an old,. old theme-the love of a man for a woman, but it deals with the subject from an angle which though un- common is Fealistic-tragically 10. Rarely can we watch a play with the feeling that we are really looking at life-full of blunders, inanities, kindnesses, cruelties, cynicism, sacri in memory of the late Mr. R. Cfice, and affection: The author of Witchell, who had been the Club's "Diversion" holds the mirror up Secretary for many years, and who to nature as it is not as it should during his period of office hail been be--and the picture is not a pretty one, yet it grips the beholder with an indefatigabie worker.
Afterwards, Mr. Logan announced its grim reality and touching pathos. that the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southern, Not for many years have we wit- nessed such a powerful scene as CI.G.. was indisposed and unable that at the final curtain-ao smug bo preside. He (r.
