SHAW SPEECHLESS
FASCINATED BY GRANDEUR |
·OF GREAT WALL
Peking. Feb. 24. China has again achieved the im- possible she has reduced Bernard Shaw to speechlessness.
Today Shaw achieved the ambi- tion which he has so often denied, but with which he set out from England on his world tour-he flew over the Great Wall of Chira. A blustery day made flying con- ditions bad when Shaw and his wife and a fow friends climbed in the magnificent private plane of Chung Hsueh-liang and flew over the snow-capped mountains along which runs the snake-like twisting Great Wall.
Then they swerved to see the full "beauty of the famous summer palace and the Ming tombs where lie buried 13 Ming emperors.
1
Shaw watched the magnificent panorama unfold fascinated and apparently thrilled. During the whole flight he did not speak word, nor even when he came down.

The chairman, before proposing the adoption of the report and balance sheet drew attention to a mistake in the list of donors, of prizes, contained in the annual report. The name of Mr. L. Gay should have appeared as the donor of a third prize for bowls, instead of the Club.
The report was reconded and carried unanimously.
It was decided to grant honorariums or $200 each to the bar convener, the on. Secretary and the Hon. Tren-
