MacGregor referred to the mugni-provements for the Club, To throw fcent gift that had been made to the away a large sum of money was Club by the late Mr. Meek. The absurd. meeting was to approve certain ten- talive plans for the almost complete reconstruction of the Club building.
If the plans were approved there were difficulties to be encountered, The £1,000 realised $10,000, and if the plans of the reconstruction scheme were carried out the cost would amount to $23,000, or $24,000 That meant that another $8,000 was required.
Sir Atholl said that the additional $8,000 did not matter very greatly, but that there were two other real difficulties The first was that the Club held the piece of land on which
Mr. Lyon. a Committee member. then sald that he had known the late. Mr. Meck and he thought that the money had been given to the Club to be put in the bank and not into bricks and mortar. If the money was placed in a bank the Club would have funds to fall back on should a time come when they were put to heavy expenditure by Government or any- body else.
Mr. Arculli then proposed the work should be carried on according to the out, and this was plans drawn seconded by Mr. Algǝbeg.

Interport --Contests Following recent correspondence with the Shanghat F.A., the question of extra time in the interport matches was brought up. Mr. Lee Wal-tong suggested that extra time should be 15 minutes in Shanghai and 10 minutes in Hongkong. It was pointed out that the extra five minutes in Shanghai would be a strain on Hong- kong players going up there, and vice-versa, an extra five minutes in Hongkong would be a strain on Shanghai players coming down here. after much discussion It was decided that the Association write-to Shang- hai and inform that Association that Hongkong would prefer extra time of 10 minutes each way.
Regarding the possibility of their being an interpori match in Shang- hai in November, a sub-Committee, comprised of Lt. Man, Cdr. Cooper, Capi. Fantham and Mr. W. H. Chen, was elected to go into the matter and ascertain in team of sumelent strength could be raised,
