Tax annual report of the Hongkong Chess Club has just been issued. It shows that the Club, with a membership of forty-four, may now be considered a permanent insti, tation. It is also solvent, having a credit balance on the year's working of $185.72 28 against $70.05 last year. We note that the Club loses the services, of its Hon. Secretary, Me H. E. Policak, who was mainly instrumental in starting the Club; but he will be worthily mucceded by Mr W. O. Barlow, one of the most enthusiastic of the Club's members.
