"

By kind permission of the Rev. V. H. Copley Moyle, an enjoyable concert was held by the Old Boys' Union of the Wah Yan College at St. John's Cathedral Hall on Saturday night, in the presence of a good gathering of members of the Union and their friends.

In a speech before the pro- gramme was opened, Mr. Ng Tal- ping, Chairman of the Concert Committee, thanked the gather ing for their presence at the Union's first concert and also all those who had so kindly consented to contribute to the programme.

A Chinese boxing exhibition was given by members of the well-known Chin Woo Athletic Association, and the programme wound up with "An Interesting Item" by a modest artiste hiding under the stage name of 'Varsity Undergrad.

The commander of the gunboat "Tsing Kong," on which the dope was found, is alleged to have fled and (according to the "Hong Kong Evening Post") his arrest has been ordered.

The reason for the concert, he said, was twofold, firstly to foster intercourse between the members of the Union, and secondly to raise money for their Sports Fund, especially for their very successful ping-pong tournament, The Cloisonnea exhibition is cer-

His first offering was "Le Cygne" and the next "Calm as the Night," and in both he ex- hibited a freedom of style which spoke of a thorough knowledge of the instrument. Miss Rose Wong also proved herself above the usual order as a pianist when she played "The Sweet By and By" as a solo.
