New York, July 31-Once more, the world's champions, the Athletics, clashed to-day with their immediate 10.04 League rivals, the Senators, and again the Athletics emerged on top, although by only a one-point mar- gin. The Athletics committed two errors, while Washington played airtight ball, but could not connect. properly, making only four hits, and Philadelphia won by 4 to 0. This left the Athletics' percentage .666 and that of the Senators .356.
At the same time, the New York Yankees, barely overcoming the Red Sox at Boston, were bringing themselves into striking distance of second place, with a percentage of 378. The Yanks and Sox distin guished themselves by a contest marred by more errors than any major league game this season so far, New York scoring seven blun-
ders and Boston six, and the Yan-
first half and the Varsity playerskees won by 14 to 13. managed to score only one goal.
After the interval, the R.A. for- wards jacked their brilliance, which the 'Varsity made full use of, and' added three more goals before the final whistle was blown,

The season under review was not able for a great revival in Club Rugger, as indicated by the increase in players and the much larger attendances of spectators. The im- provement in play, and keenness at practice was due in part to the im- proved, condition of the playing ground. It was found possible to run two teatus, a 1st XV. and an "A" XV, both of which met with their measure of success.
The Interport.
The 1st XV. played 15 matches, winning 8, losing 6, and drawing
The two defeats in Shanghai, both by the narrowest of margins, were a disappointment to all, but were partly offset by the Club emerging winners of the Triangular Tournament Trophy, and by their eventual triumph over old rivals in H.MS. Cornwall.
A noteworthy feature of the soccer season was the reappearance of the 2nd XI. The team was cap-
tained by Mr. G. Puncheon and credit is due to him for having kept the team together throughout the season. The 1st XI. also com- pleted their fixtures, many of the games being evenly contested and the team deserved a better position than that shown in the league table. On the whole the year under review was an improvement on previons years but a more successful season next year is hoped for.
President's Remarks,
Mr. J. Ralston, who presided, said that it was regretted there had been a loss in the year's working owing to a fall of $10,000 in the gate receipta, but this was not con- fined to this Club alone. The future prospects, however, were very bright, and they looked for. ward with much confidence to the Club being very successful in the new season, both on the financial. side as well as in the report.
He
remarked that the ground was in excellent condition, and when they
start the season in a few weeks' time it would be seen that it was the finest in the Colony,
A tribute was paid to the hard- working efforts of the Fon. Secre- tary (Mr. W. Pryde) and the mem- bers of the Committee,
Increase In Subscription. There was a long discussion about a proposal to increase the subscrip- tion which one member stated was only fair in view of the fine Club- house and the facilities provided to members, while such a course was necessary seeing the position of the balance sheet. It was eventually agreed to increase the annual sub- scription of senior members (over 18) from $5 to $10, the subscription for junior members remaining as before with the entrance fee being

The India Society could not adpr juately fulfill its functions as a interpreter of Indian art unless it dealt with the interactions between the artistic impulses of India” and the other countries of Asia, notably Siam, Indo-China, Java and Persia.
They thanked his Royal Highness for giving them that opportunity- the second of the kind they had enjoyed of seeing many Siamese printed fabrics, including some of the finest examples at the Royal Bangkok Museum.
The society had arranged for their exhibition in Manchester, and for the publication of a selection of elect-coloured plates of these cloths in
a book which would also contain some account of their origin, tech- For-nical character,, and artistic value..

Prince Damrong said he appre- -- ciated the remarks of the chairman regarding the close links between the artistic culture of India and Siam.
The influence of India civilization extended to Siam probably more than 2,000 years ago, and it was. from India that, Siam derived her religion and much of her literature and customs.
While the Siamese had an ancient art of their own, Indian influence
