Col, Warren-Boulton is one of the oldest Rotarians in the East having joined the Club in Calcutta in 1919. With the Shanghai Rotary Club, which was started in the same year, the Calcutta Rotary Chub is one of the oldest Rotary Clubs outside Europe and America.

Big Prize For
་
Winner
Over 240,000 tickets have been sold in the Hongkong Jockey Club's dollar sweep on the Lantao Handi- cap, which will be run this Satur day.
The rapidity with which tickets are being bought up by the public Justifies the bellet that total sales
will reach the 300.000 'mark
Should this number of tickets be sold, the Arst prize will be over $127,000.
About a fortnight ago; the Joc- key Club opened a branch office for sale of sweep tickets in Gilman Street to cater to the large number of eager Chinese purchasers, This has relieved the central office in Exchange Building of a great deal of pressure.
