COUNTRY CLUB COMPETITIONS
Surprise Results In Women's Championship
COTTON CONTINUES TO COLLECT FOR WAR FUND
(By "Birdio")
THE ANNUAL MATCH between the Presi dont's and Captain's teams at the Country Club, which was to have been held this Sunday, has been postponed to, a later date, probably during the Chinese New Year holidays. Singles will be played in the morning, and foursomes in the afternoon. There is usually a headache attached to this game, as it is followed by a dinner för which the losing side pays. Entries are post en- tries, and the teams will be divided as evenly as possible as far as handicaps are concerned.
Surprising developments in the women's champion- ship have been the eliminations of Miss Sequeira and Mrs. Remedios by Miss L. G., Ablong and Mrs. A. J. Kew re- spectively. The latter two, who are the finalists, are also sisters.
The Sequeira-Ablong post- A. Perry and A. Compaton beat poned match was played on Cotton and G. Oke by 4 and 3 at Saturday last, and the latter's Fulwell, and when A.

The very successful year has made our financial position less acute than at this time last year. A profit of -5427 was made on the stable account, compared with a loss of $587 last var.

ATTENDANCE RECORD
LAST SEASON was one of the most successful in the history of the Club and, so far as the race course is concerned, the recent meeting we had on Boxing Day at Kwanti was also probably a record. At our last meeting we were not expecting the very large number of people who at tended and consequently the pre- parations were not what they might have been for such a large number, However, since that last meeting one or two improvements have been made and further accornmodation provided, and I truit even on Sunday next we have anything like the number of people who attended last time, they will not be incon- ventenced by overcrowding.
Doubtless owing to the uncertain times the number of people hunting is very much fewer than it has been "In" In the last few years and con- sequently the number of poules avail- able for steeplechase or hurdle races
