HONGKONG FOOTBALL CLUB,
The annual meeting of members of this club was held yesterday evening in the. H. K. C. C. pavillong when there were present:-Messi:. . Armstrong, L. Hallward, E. C. Ferron, H. W. Slade, S. L. Darby, R. F. Latame., E. J. M. Atkinson, E. Hutchinson, R. Merkwick, Janr., A Sharp, F. Maitland, E. A. Ram, Lt. Young, H. Gedge, K. Stevens and W. H. Wallace (secretary).
On the motion of Mr. Darby, seconded by
Mr. Wallace, Dr. Atkinson way' elened to the
chalr.
The chairman sald that as the repa.. of the committee for the past season had been in their hands for the last few days he would not read it, but felt that they would agree with him in saying that the last season had been by far the most favourable since the origin of the club. This he thought was to eat extent due to the able efforts of their wo, by secretary (cheers). Somehow, when Mr. Wallace was secretary everything seemed to go well. From the report it would be seen that about 30 matches had been got up, sad that entailed a great deal of work, getting up teams, atranging the details, etc. The committee therefore suggested that Mr. Wallace 1 aisted by Mr. Gedge, who had kindly under rken to do all the work in connection with Rugby matches. The thanks of the members were also due to Mr. Sharp, who very kindly took up the work of trea- surer during the past season. The accounts showed a small credit balance. He moved that the repart and accounts be adopted. Asto the Committee, It was proposed that the members already existing be re-elected, with the exception of Mr. Stewart Lockhart in place of.Lt. Blair, and of course Mr. Gedge would be on the Committee, Fry place of Capt. MacDonogh, who had left the colony. Mr. Stewart-Lockhe had always taken a great interest in the club, and now that he had returned to the colony he would be a valuable addition. As to the present season, the club had begun well by beating the Cricket Club at cricket (laughter) and there was every prospect that the next season would be better than the last
The Secretary, while thanking the, members for their recognition of his services, added that Mr. Maitland had been of great assistance last year and had promised the same for this year, A great deal of the credit of getting up matches was due to him. The membership Was now as large as it had ever been, and There were 88 he thought more active. members already, and new, ones coming in; they would be glad to get more, It would ti be seen from the report that the Association players had pretty well adopted the Club's colours, but the Rugby teams still appeared in variegated colours as before. As playing days, Mondays and Thursdays had been secured, as before. One thing he would like to ask that they would tars up better than they did last year. For two months at all events, December and January, they had bad to play in darkness, owing to late comers. The season, he might add, would open as soon as the weather changed. Mr. Ram suggested that five or six Associa tion teams could be got up to compete for a challenge cup-a Public Schools' team, officers and men R.E, a Banks' team, officers and men R.A., a Public Service team, professions, com- merce, etc. There might be some small trophy if sufficient men could be got together not necessarily all being members.

After a little discussion the report and sensente were passed and the officers re-elected, with the
alterations mentioned.
Mr. Armstrong proposed that the Government be asked to allow the Club to maye the gresind Eigher up, near where the pond was, The Polo Club had decided to make a similar regsest. The higher ground was drier and more levél, a The Secretary thought the low-lying land far better, and moved as an amendment that the Club stay where it was. The amendment was carried.
A vots of thanks was putted to the Jockey Club for granting the use of the pavillon,
The meeting closed, with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

They had a friendly talk over the matter, and went to the Harbour Master, who advised Wiltshire to go back on board, and to consult a lawyer before doing anything. He did so, and went on board under protest. The Captala went back to Mr. Edwin Mackintosh, and reported progress,

this, a British Colony? The law is that any British officer on a British ship on coasting articles can demand to be paid off at any British port on that coast at 74 hours notice. Butterfield and Swire broke their contract by not paying the bonus.
In the first place, Mr. Wiltshire, after being refused the bonus, asked the Captain if he would fallow him to leave the ship; this being refused he appealed to the Harbour Master, who advised him to return on board; this he did, and was per- fectly willing to go to sea again; but the dignity of the firm had to be vindicated, and he was not allowed. Instead, the second officer of the Tomsut was put on board, as the Captain is said to have refused to comply with B. and 5.4 orders to go shorthanded, and Mr. Wiltshire was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment.

The Captain had told the Harbour Master that the officer was one of the best in the service; he was not now allowed a chance to slimilarly give him justice. Mr. Mackintosh, when asked a fale question as to the man's trustworthiness, declined to answer. Was it because he knew more than Cept, Dodd, and was too good-hearted to say so?
