CHINESE RECREATION GROUND.
(Table XXVIII).
32. The Chinese Recreation Ground in Hollywood Road is controlled by a Committee consisting of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs as Chairman and the Chinese Members of the Executive and Legislative Councils.
33. The Ground consists of a large concrete-surfaced open space which contains several pavilions and is bordered by sixty substantially-built stalls or rather small shops which are let by tender to refreshment caterers, barbers, book-sellers, letter-writers, etc., and the income, when expenses have been deducted, is devoted to Chinese charities. Apart from the actual tenants of the stalls and their folk the Ground in its capacity as an open space or "lung" is very largely used by the general public for listening to story-tellers and for eating, resting, or strolling about in the open air. The Ground contains an interesting relic in the form of an old "Jubilee" drinking fountain.

34. The Yaumati Public Square is also administered by the Chinese Recreation Ground Committee on the same lines as the Chinese Recreation Ground. The chief difference is that there is no open space, the whole of the Square being occupied by stalls, fifty-nine in all, most of which sell cooked food. The Square is known to the Chinese public as "Yung Shu Tau" on account of the shady banyan trees which grow there and is as popular with the inhabitants of Yaumati as the Chinese Recreation Ground is with the inhabitants of Hollywood Road district.
