It must be the unasuous opinion" of all who visited the Hong Kong Art Club's exhibition held during the past week at Gloucester Building, that the exhibits displayed were on the whole of a high HOTEL ↑ Standard and in keeping with past exhibitions of this Club. It was, to put it shortly, an hour well spent midst a feast of water colours, pastels, oils and Ivory carving, the whole of which together formed "a most pleasing variety.

There were twenty-three exhibitors and a total of 183 exhibits. Though the works.of Kae Horsburgh were included in the catalogue they were not on view as her entries were too late. Mr. A, Mitchell's entries were exhibited but they apparently did not arrive in time for Inclusion in the printed catalogue.

An hour's intensive viewing of over 180 exhibits is perhaps, from the art lover's point of view, insuficient to do full justice to a com- plete criticism. Hence the title of this article.

Spectators moved from gallery to gallery, to and fro, often returning for a second and third look. There were visual expressions of admira- tion for this picture of a junk or that painting of a harbour scene.

Mr. A. Mitchell exhibited one or two nice Chinese junk studies but the
majority of these and his scentes lacked that extra touch which makes all the diference betwen a good finish and an un- finished study. His pen work was a trifle scratchy.

SOCIETY FOR PROTECTION OF CHILDREN
Governor Is New Patron
SOCIETY TO CO-OPERATE IN NEW

The Hon. Treasurer reported that total receipta for the year were $30,521, expenditure $26.914 leaving a surplus of $3,607.
The Hon, Treasurer drew atten- tion to the fact that his own firm. and Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth Fleming were the auditors. De wished it to be milnutėɗ that be had drawn the Committee's at- tention to this fact so that a change could be made f necessary. The unanimous opinion of the meeting was that the audit should be curried out by Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming as usual. It was announced that HE. the Governor has accepted the Com- mittee's invitation to become its new Patron
"The question-was-raised is to necessity for the purchase of pad- ded quilts to be used under the babies in the colder weather, this Expenditure was authorised pro- vided if the quilts should prove ORCERERIT.
It was announced, that the So- clety had been asked to co-operate in the new housing experiment now being carried out in Kowloon, in view of which any decision as to quarters for a secnd Branch Centre were postponed. It is hoped that when the work of the new scheme is in full awing accommodation may be found in one of their centres.

of the suggestion the Inspector the Branch Secre- tary applied for a hawker's licence for the grand-mother; this was refused apparently wituout sum- clent reason. The Secretary was asked to write to the Chairman of
the Urban District Council to ask the grounds for refusal.
Another poverty case came up. A family of seven are in good health but
asks for the father money to eke out his inadequate salary. In the opinion of the Committee there was no need to alter the present discretion which was vested in the Branch Secre- taries to deal with these cases but mere insufficiency of income with - out signs of under nourishment or poverty did not justify the grant- · ing of relief.
The meeting then adjourned.
