Last week, cards with subscrip- tions to the value of over $200 were received and it is hoped that any persons who still have "cards in their possession will send them to the Honorary Treasurer as soon as possible.
It had been intended to publish in the press complete lists of the firms and individual subscribers, but many subscribers stated that they particularly did not wish this to be done, Receipts are now in course of preparation and will be sent to subscribers during the pre- sent week.
It has come to the knowledge of the Committee that a number of persons who were not engaged in the area that was covered by the drive have complained that they have not been asked for subscrip- tions. If such people will be so kind as to send their subscriptions to the lonorary Treasurer, Mr. IT. V. Parker, e/o. the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corpora- tion, they will be gratefully re- ceived.

I was interested to read the extracts from remarks in one of the Singapore papers. regarding the doings of the Malaya side during the recent triangular Inter- port contest here. There seems to be a considerable amount of ill- feeling amongst a certain section of the cricketing community there over the composition of the team sent here to represent them. really is a great pity that this sort of thing cannot be avoided. I think that if a little more tact could be displayed by those responsible for choosing, these teams there would be less "grousing."
