The Chairman paid a tribute to Mr. Puncheon, captain
of the second elever, who, through a season of ad- verse fortunes, had nobly contrived to turn out regularly a league cleven und fulfil the fixtures. Great credit was due to him and he was to be congratulated (Applause).
Successful Rugby.
The Chairman, in dealing with rugby, said they had had an exceed Ingly successful acason with 4 plethora of keen games. The Club house they now possessed, with a ground watered and tended to almost ideal conditions, ought to make rugby more and more popular as time went on. During the year they had re-. gularly placed them at the disposal of all other rugby teams in the Colony. (Applause.)
After commenting that thanks to the energy and enterprise of the Clab, interport soccer and rugby now resulted in regular and closely con- tested events, and pointing out that last year a rugby team lost to Shang- hai but brought back the Tientsin Interport flag (cheers), the Chairman welcomed the Club's friends, old and
new.
The toast was drunk with musical
honours.
Replying on behalf of the Navy. Commander Byron thanked the Club for their courtesy in lending their ground for rugby, and remarked that without the facilities granted by the Club, rugby would be practically non eat in the Colony. The soccer teams had not won a great number of matches but they were strugglers.
Lieut. J. H. Alms, Somerset Light Infantry, in replying, pointed out that since they arrived in Hongkong 15 months ago the Club had helped them in every possible way. For this he extended thanks to the Club.
Capt. Swayne also replied and ex- pressed thanks to the Club for their help and the loan of the ground."

The Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall, re- plying on behalf of civilian guests, after commenting on the Club's hos- nitality and the enjoyable evening he had spent, referred to the old stagera," mentioning Mr. G. W. C. Bonnar, Mr. George Grimble, Mr. H. Seth and Mr. Humphreys.

The speaker continued that he be- came Interested in football about ten years ago and continued, "I can tell you at least this, that to Chinese frara the University down to the humble shop coolie football is really football (applause).

a combined Chinese team that, won, the International Charity Cup and it was also a Chinese team that carried off the League Championship (Applause). But, gentlemen, I take greater pride in the knowledge which I have gained this evening, that teams, in gaining their victories, gained them in a sportsmanlike man- ner (Applause). It is my earnest and sincere hope that the sporting and friendly spirit which has pre- valled, especially on the football field, will continue to prevail in the future for it is this spirit which, to my mind, can beat help in breaking the bar riers of class, social and racial, in binding together all nations in the great brotherhood of harmony and concord" (applause),
Cup Handed Over. Lieut. Commander Hill then handed the Hongkong Rugby Challenge Cup to Mr. Bassey, remarking that the Navy were sorry to give it up but the Clab had won it fair and square (applause and ebeers). He also thanked the Club for the use of their ground, and also Mr. Massey for the great trouble he had taken on behalf of Navy players,

In conclusion he thanked all his helpers, including Mr. Bonnar, the Vice-Captain, and also Commander Hill, without whose assistanco they would never have got rugby going at they had done.
Mr. G. W. C. Bonnar expressed thanks on behalf of the "old stagers"
(Laughter).
He said he was not going to tell them stories of the old football days because football was much the same now as it was years. ago. It afforded him great pleasure. he said, to play in the old days, 30 years ago, and it was now a great pleasure to watch the game from the stand.
Football in 1893.
He continued that a few days ago there was something in the news- Papers from Home telling of football being played under electric light. Perhaps some of them might not know it but he played football under electric light in Greenock in January, 1893. It was an exhibition game on an exhibition ground.
The lights were not as good then as they were now and it was some game hunting for the ball. They had no white ball and were playing on an ash ground. In conclusion, Mr. Bonnar wished the Club every prosperity.
At this stage, Mr. Massey rose and expressed hearty thanks to Major Caddell and Capt. Deacon for re- fereeing all the games during the
season.

Mr. D. Gow pointed out that he had been a supporting member of the Club for a good number of years. As an old playing member, 35 years ago, he was a very strong opponent. He did not mean it to be inferred that he was a strong opponent by reason of his football efficiency but because he

The Old Centurion.

The speaker harked back to the old days of the K.F.C. when there would be perhaps aix Naval men in the team and two or three policemen. The were, he recalled, very good days. In 1805-1896 they met H.M.S. Centurion in the final for the Cap, contributed to by pubile subscription, and they had the honour of winning that Cup by three goals to nothing. In the following year-the first year of the present shield--they again met the Centurion in the final when the etter had luck to turn the tables on The KFC, by two goals to one.
Speaking on behalf of the Referees, Major Caddell said that it had been easy to referee the games because they had been played in the manner in which they ought to be played-in the very best sporting manner and the referees had enjoyed them just 28 much as the players had. He extend- ed congratulations to the Club en winning the Cup. The players weze doing indoor work for most of the days during the week.
