IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
Thereupon. my friend Mr. Rakusen set the wheels in motion, and very ably supported by an- other billard enthusiast, Mr. E A. dow Remedios, our hon. Treasurer, meetings were held in the Board Room of the South China Morn Ing Post kindly placed at our dis- posal. The immediate response
remarkably good and most gratifying. About thirty-three gentlemen attended, representing vartaus Clubs and Units from the Naval and Military services, and nally the Hong Kong Amateur Barda Association was launch-
on November, 8, 1935 with every promise of a career of useful and successful activity. Owing to the lateness, of the season, it was unfortunately not possible to run a billard league nor a snooker championship, so it was decided not only to stage a Senior Billiards Championship but also to cater to the average billard player in the Colony, perhaps the most numer-
DUS
and enthusiastic. by trying the experiment of a Junior Cham- pionship. The response to invita tion for entries was very encour-
aging. Twenty-eight competitors joined the Senior Championship, and 61 for the Junior Champion- ship, fully justifying the innova- tion as regards the latter. By the kind co-operation of the various Clubs for use of tables, te.. the Kowloon Cricket Club, Club Lusitano, Club de Recrelo. Civil Service Club, the Cheero Club, Dockyard Police Club, En- gineers Institute, and the Sports Club the preliminary games were played off without a hitch to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Great interest was manifested in many of the games, particularly 3 or 4 games at the Kowloon Cricket Club where the accommodation was taxed to the absolute malt. The semi-final and frials were played off in the congenial and spacious ballroom of the Club Lusitano, Kindly lent for the oc- casion Mesars.

In passing, I may say that the interest manifested in the game
et billiards by the Chinese com- munity is self-evident when I point out that out of a total of 89 competitors. 26 were Chinese, equivalent to 30 per cent, of the total. One of the competitors. gured in the final of the Senior Championship and another turned out to be the winner of the Junior Championship.

FUTURE COMPETITIONS
As to future competitions, the incoming Committee will of course
continue with the Senior and Junior Billiard Championships, and will also give consideration to the promotion of Snooker Cham- pionships of the Colony, possibly
Senior and divided into
Junior sections as in the case of Billiards. With regard to the organization of a Billard League, so far as I nan see at present, there does not aeem to be much prospect of this eventuating owing to the insuf- fcient number of Clubs, but it is intended that the Association will arrange friendly games between
various Clubs.

The standard of play, although not comparable to that prevail- ing at Shanghal, of which I have personal knowledge, was exceed- ingly good, bearing in mind the fact that most billard players were unprepared, and some of "the senior players had given up the game seriously for years, and it was no doubt very sporting of thêm to Join considering the redoubtable opposition offered in the person of the reigning champion. However, this there should be no excuse season for unpreparedness. I am sure the junior players must have enjoyed every whit of their scrape and I am confident they will again take
