HONG KONG CRICKET
CLUB MEETING
Satisfactory Year Reported
MR. H.R.B. HANCOCK AGAIN
PRESIDENT
Tribute Paid To Mr.. A. K. Mackenzie
Presiding at the annual general meeting of the Hong Kong Cricket Club held at the Clubhouse yesterday evening, Mr. H. R. B. Hancock (President) reported a satisfactory year. The Pre- sident was supported by Mesars. P. M. Hodgson, A. W. Hayward, T. E. Pearce, N. Owen Hughes, V, R: Gordon, I. W. Shewan G. W. Sewell (Committee members) and A. K. Mackenzie (Hon. Secre- Jary).
In the course of his speech, the Chairman reviewed the past year's activities and said that he knew he was voicing the feel- ings of all cricketers in the Colony when he said how delighted, they were to Bear that their old friends, the Chinese Recreation Club, were once agam running a cricket team this year. He also paid warm tribute to the work done by Mr. Mackenzie for the Club.
CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH Addressing the meeting. Chairman said:-
ነን
our last account was made up, we the have, as you will see, transferred
back to Reserve $800,
You will see from the accounts before you that once again our profit and loss account shows loss after allowing for the usual depreciation, though actually we showed a small proût of $423.01. Our profit on working account was $1,229.07 and considering the de- pression which has been with us during the period under review, I do not think this can be called very unsatisfactory, and the post- tion need not cause us any undue
alarm.
Your committee has had under consideration a proposal to raise the subscription, and considering that the present one amounts to only $2 per month, an increase of $1.per month, would not I think cause any great hardship to mem- bers, and would bring in an add!- tional revenue of about $5,000 per annum. However, being optimistic enough to believe that the dark clouds which have been over- hanging this Colony for so long. are slowly but gradually lifting, has been decided to wait and see the result of the new year's work- ing, hoping for a better one, be fore taking this step.
But it is
as well to warn you what may be necessary in the event of an im- provement not setting in."
SOUND POSITION
In the meantime. I am sure your Committee will watch expenditure closely, and effect any
possible economies. We are really in a very sound position as our Ba- lance Sheet will show you. We have paid off another 30 deben- tures since this account was made up, leaving only 83 to be redeemed. and we have a credit balance with the Bank of some $770. "Overdue Accounts" appearing in the ba- lance Sheet at $1,511.09 have all been raid up. and August chits amounting to $2,985.36 have been collected. The sum of $100 would more than cover our possible bad and doubtful debts.
SUBSCRIPTIONS DOWN
I should like here to refer to one or two items in the working accoust. You will notice that subscriptions are down by some $640 a sign of the times I am afraid there are 54 fewer playing members. On the other hand our "receipts from tennis tournaments and matches is up by the same amount, so our income in work- ing account is practically the same aa last year. Our Squash court expenses are up by $825 account- ed for by roofing one court, but the number of members using the courts is increasing all the time, and I am sure this has been much appreciated. Réturing is up by $206.00 owing to the wear on tennis courts and this was a very necessary expenditure. Bar sales are down by nearly $3,000 and our pront has consequently been re- duced by some $800.

CHINESE R.C.
Last year's cricket season was not on the whole so successful as the previous year. though. as usual, we ran two teams. I should like to see more younger members taking an active Interest in cricket, and turning out regularly: and
whilst on the subject of cricket, I know I am only voicing the feelings of all cricketers in the Colony when I say how de lighted we are to hear that our old friends 'the C.R.C. are once again running a side this year, and we shall look forward to meet- ing them and wish them all juck in their resuscitation.

But he was no match for Lawrence who scarcely went wrong. Un- fortunately Japan's two "aces are on the sick list, or else a more even game might have been x- pected

La is known as the Canton champion, whilst Tsui is the co- ther of Tsui Wai Pui, Hong Kong's open singles champion. Both of these Chinese tennis exponents are with the Bank of Communications here.
A great treat is anticipated and I am afraid Great Britain will have to tread on very hard soil, though, by no means is this to be Considered a disparaging remark. Both sides will produce numerous supporters,
