The departure for England to- morrow of Mr. A. II. Ferguson will mean a great loss to the Hongkong Golf Club of which he has been a member for a great number of years and was President in 1925. Ito has been closely identified with golf in the Colony since he arrived in 1911 and during his sojourn here has captained tho Interport sides on minay occasiona including 1924 and 1928 against Shanghai, and 1926 against Shang- hai and Maniln. He has also play- ed a prominent part in the annual matches between St. Andrew's Society and St. George's Society. He was one of the best golfers connected with the Royal Hong- kong Club and although he has never won the Club championship has been successful in winning many of the other big competi-Mounsall tions.
Mr. Ferguson has been Manager of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China for
many reurs and is now being transferred to the Head Office of the Bank in London. Its association with the Chartered Bank dates back to 1899 when he became a member of the staff In London. Three years Far East, when he went to Inter he was transferred to the

Mr. A.C.

Whilst on duty in Chatham Road yesterday, a Chinese con- stable saw a man carrying what he thought to be a machine-gun and immediately arrested him. At the Water Police Station, low- ever, the article was found to be nothing more dangerous than a machine for making nerated waters.
Charging the man, Tai aam, before Mr. Butters at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning, Inspec- tor Elston said the machine had been stolen from the military barracks in Austin Road. The entrance to the barracks was guarded and the only way by which defendant could have got in was by the back.
