Needless to say, the 34 rea- sons are entirely feminine. There were blondes, brunet- tes and red-heads. Thera were plump girls, thin girls and Venuses. Taken all in all, they are undoubtedly the most charming party ever to visit Hongkong.
The 34 exponents of the Aus- tralian boast that it produces the healthiest and most beautiful girls in the world are membera of the Young Australia League, an organisation which has for its objects the education of! Young Australia by travel, a glogan which implies that actual- ly seeing countries and meeting people adds to the storehouse of general knowledge.
Every girl-in.the party is over 16 years of age, and none are over 21. They come from every state in the Commonwealth. those from New South Watch and Victoria predominating.
Immediately after the arrival of the Taiping this morning the girls disembarked, and were
taken for their first rickshaw
ride to their temporary home in
Kowloon.
Shortly after noon they eros- sed the harbour by Star Ferry and were guests of the Rotary Club for tillin.

H.K. Rifle Expanding Association Is
EASTER "BISLEY MEET"": INTERPORT THIS YEAR
TMPORTANT develop
ments are taking place in Hongkong's rifle shooting activities.
The new Hongkong Rifle Association, already with an active full membership of 118, and an associate mem-] bership exceeding 1,000, ist rapidly expanding under the direction of an energetic committee.
Plans have already been com pleted for an Interport Meet between Hongkong, Shanghai and Singapore, and, in addition, Hongkong will have its own Bisley Meeting next Easter.
The prize list for the six-day meeting that will be held during Easter Week already exceeds $2,000-an amount which, large as it is, will be considerably augmented before the meeting takes place.
The first portion of the Easter meeting will be devoted to a United Services competition, at

It is hoped that the Interport meeting between Hongkong, Singapore and Shanghai will take place in November or December. The Council of the Hongkong Rifle Association has written to Shanghai and Sinka- pore, recommending, in this connection, that in future Inter- port events should be restricted to British subjects, firing with SMLE or P-1914 rifles.
Free Rifle IssUC
It is understood from an authoritative source that the future of the Hongkong Rifle Association has been brigh- tened considerably by a recent decision of the Army authori- ties to issue a new 1914 type service rifle to any members of the Army who wish to serious- ly take up competitive shoot- ing.
