It is this spirit that keeps the flag dying and welds the vurious Clubs and their delegates together in the best Interests of the game.
The accounts for the year show a satisfactory balance in hand, and the thanks of the Association players who by their unselfish efforts have made it possible for the Association to divide amongst charities no less than $2,106.05.
During the year your Council met seven times and on only two of these occasions was a member

The competitions during the past season were undoubtedly keener than for
some years past, and no doubt it was this encouraging factor that led to the presentation of two exty Cups-- the "Sunday Herald" Cup and the "Lai Wah" Cup. The former was donated for the purpose of charity and resulted in a truly magni ficent aum being raised, as may be remembered from the figures published along with the Com- mittee's' report. Altogether the Association was able to divide no less than $2.106.05 amongst charities during the past senson.
