BILLIARDS CONTEST.

In proposing the adoption of the report and accounts. Mr. Lindsell sald that he thought the report told them fully of what had been nehloved by the Association In the past year, They were now a proper constitution, which find been drawn up on similar nes to those of the Tientsin and Shanghai Associations, and modelled to a certain extent on the constitution of the All-England L. T. A. The con- stitution had not been in force suf- ficiently long to any whether it cover el all dieulties but they had already discovered ono or two loopholes, which they hoped pul right at an extraordinary general meeting which would be called. It had given them very much plea. sure to entertain quite a number of prominent visitors, and in that con- texion he would like them to know that the well-known British player, Smith Mr. E. D. Andrews had arrived that Tash day, and they hoped to stage exhibi- Almond tlon matches on the stand court of Southern the Hongkong Cricket Club in the Northwood course of the next week. He would

He did not think the report did quita enough Justice to the U.S.R.C., which had followed the example of other clubs in the Coinny, and had promoted, under the auspices of the LT.A., an Open Ladies Doubles Championship. It was very successful, and had been ably managed in every way by the U.S.R.C.
Regarding the accounts, he did not think they could regard the position unsatisfactory, despite the
nx
fact that they finished up with
a
amall debit balance.
A billiarda match was played at the Water Police Station, Kowloon, Inst night, between the Petty Officers of EI.M.S. Medway and the Kowloon Police, resulting as follows:

The suggestion was brought for- ward by Mr. S. A. Gray that the B. and C. Divisions, If numbering the same as last year, be split up into sections, so that it would not be nece sary for the Clubs to play twice in the one week. At the clone of the programme, the leaders of each sec tion would play off for the title of the Divizion, with the losers to be regarded as runners-up.
Consequent upon this, Mr. II. J. Armstrong suggested that in view of May and June being wet months, the League programme would not start until July, thus enabling the later tennis to be played in the cooler weather.
Roth proposals were put forward to the Counell for consideration.
