Syd Wooderson In Curious Accident
Wooderson had a curious accident on July 15. He was to have run in the Kent team in an inter-county competition but he stood down because of his race in Brussels on July 16. Just to please the crowd he ran a half mile by himself in 2 mins. 7 secs.
During the run
he kicked his left ankle with' his right shoe and a spike in- jured the ankle. He was at- tended by ambulance men who found the injury slight.
HONGKONG C.C. TOO GOOD FOR K'LOON INDIANS
HEALTHY BALANCE REVEALED
Annual Meeting Of Rifle Association
That the Hongkong Rifle Associa- ilon had for the first time in its hi!S- tory shown a healthy balance in the Anances last year, was stated by Major R. D. Walker, President, nt the annual meeting yesterday,
Major Walker presided with the assistance of Capt. F. Sale (Hon. Secretary), Mr. J. Hargreaves (Hon. Treasurer), and Lieut. A. J. Le Seeleur, (Assistant Secretary). Those present were Brigadler A. B. Thom- san. Major A. G. Syme, Major S. E. H. E. White, Major R. Robertson and Captain W. C. Newton,
Mir. Hargreaves pointed out that this year $754 had been made in ave months. Last year the spoon shoots hud represented a loss of $1,100, but this year the figure had been reduced to $300. Cash in the bank emounted to over $1,700 compared with last year's very small sum. The election of ulcer resulted:
Major Walker, President; Brigadier G. I. T. W. Reeve, Brigadier . B. Thomson, Coi. A. G. Neville, Col. J. C. Gowland und Mr E. I. Wynne- Jones, Vice-Presidents;
Capt. Sale, Hon. Secretary; Mr. J. Hargreaves, Ilon. Treasurer; Messrs. Sell and Fleming, Percy Smith,
Auditora.
Major Walker referred to the elec- tion of legal adviser, an honorary post, and it was decided to leave the matter for the Council to deal with. Annual Report
The following is the annual report: At un extraordinary general meet- ing on January 29 it was unanimously agreed that the Financial Year of the Association should be from June 1 to May 11 instead of from January 1 to December 31, and that the period January 1 to May 31 1939 count as a Financial Year. By this amend- ment of the rules the financial year, coincides with the shooting year.
It was with the greatest regret that the-Association had to say good-bye to Major Murray at the close of the shooting year. His cheery personality and capacity tor hard work will be very much missed by all. He was always a tower of strength to the Association and most ably carried on
the splendid work of his predecessor.
