THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY,
SUMMER ACTIVITIES AT YM.C.A.'
"BIG & VARIED PROGRAMME COMPLETED.
Activities for the month of June at the European Y.M.GA., were both varied and successful, and as a result the general committee has been encouraged to enlarge the social programme for the cur rent_month.
The Committee have adopted an entirely new procedure in ar ranging such a wide variety of entertainments during the summer season, but their efforts have met with the appreciation of the mom-
bere, who have not been slow in
supporting the numerous évents.
Last month six bathing picules were held, attendances ranging from 29 to 58, with an average of forty.
The first flannel dance, held on the tennis courts at the rear of the building, was a most success. ful and enjoyable function, and satisfaction has been expressed in the decision of the Committee to arranged a similar event for the 17th of this month..
The tennis club, although ex- periencing anything but good for- tune in the local league, contin- ucs to flourish, and progress in the Weall Cup tournament continues. Friendly matches were played with the Kowloon branch of the Chinese YM.C.A., and the Royal Corps of Signals.
Only two matches remain to be played in the golf tournament, when the winner of the Laughton v. Hillier-encounter, will contest Russell in the final round.
The interior social activities have been well maintained and have provided many pleasant evenings for both members and visitors.
Two billiards matches were played against the Royal Corps of Signals, and both won by the visi- tors, whilst on June 25, the resi- dent and non-resident members engaged in a most interesting match, which resulted in the latter winning by 30 points. Nineteen teams of six players aside have entered for the Pattenden Ser- vices Billiard Cup, and play, in this competition will take place during July.
The Camera Club, a compara- tively new feature of the "Y". has held two meetings. At the first, Lieut. Commander Rogers Tillstone gave a talk on "Pictorial Photography," and at the second Mr. A. C, Jackson spoke on "De- velopers and Development." Beth proved helpful and interesting.

WILL AND A WAY.
A BRITISH MUSEUM ROMANCE.
This is the story of a man who, having failed to got his way during his lifetime, succeeded by his death,
It concerns Mr. Oldfield Thomas, aged 74, who joined, the British Museum staff when he was 18, and worked his way up to be assistant in charge of the mammals section in the Natural History Section, South Kensington.
! Vegetarian, total abstainer, he was remarkable for a slight ec centricity of dress. He grew tired in late yenre of having to climb a flight of stairs to his study, 45ft. up. He pressed for a lift, but, in the words of Dr. Herbert Smith, Director of the Museum, "The Treasury hadn't any money to spare
for a Hft."
Oldfield Thomas had his way in the end. In his will he left a sum of money for the construction of the lift. It will be opened by the Right Hon. George Lansbury, M.P., First Commissioner of His Majesty's Works.

In this connexion it is notified that
a set of Note Books (one for cach
was that the two men were con- cerned with the kidnapping of the bay from Chinese Territory..
On the following day the third defendant, who was discharged, was located and arrested for having sold the lad. Another woman had also acted as go-between but neither was being charged as the Police were satisfied that they had had no guilty knowledge that the boy had been kidnapped. The first defen dant had told the women that he was leaving for Singapore and wanted to sell the boy who was his
son.
In her evidence, the mother in-. timated that the first defendant was well-known in Sa Ho and had been in the habit of taking the bay to tea. On the day that he was missed the accused had taken the lad out but both disappeared.
The transaction between the go- betweens and the Hakka woman who bought the child was described in detail by the woman who was acquitted. She intimated that price of $300 was required by the defendants for the boy but she ex- pressed surprise that a lad with such a dark complexion should be valued at that price. He was eventually sold for $140. After deducting commission the witness handed $126 to the second defendant for the first defendant.
The case was adjourned.
