There is a At the kick-off both teams work-long list of events to get through, ed like Trojans, and if there was including the following for the anything to choose, the Chinese Old Boys:- players were a shade more aggres- sive, and their forwards made good use of their opportunities..
Suen and Chen were the moving spirits on the field and after a minute's play, Lawrence was test- ed with a strong one, which he cleared in good style.
The soldiers up to this stage were unsettled, both the wings ap- peared to be out of form. Bewley- bull was all over the field play. ing a splendid game.
The play was fast from end to end, until Suen sent the ball into the net with a strong kick.
The Chinese then combined bet- ter, and Li Hung-ching sent the ball into. the net again. This paint was, however, disallowed, the referce ruling that Li An Hung-ching

WORK OF THE PAST YEAR REVIEWED
MUZZLING ORDER Yesterday afternoon the annual general meeting of the Hong Kong Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was held in the
of board-room
Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co., Ltd.
There was a very small attenti- ance which was presided over by Mr. D. H. Elake who, in the course of his speech, said:---
During the past year the S.P.C.A. continued their work in the same manner as heretofore.
It was thought advisable to take severe measures against cer- tain shops and stalls where per- sistent cruelty to birds and Conse- beasts was discovered. quently during the period under review there have been a larger number of prosecutions than usual. The publicity given in the newspapers to the Police Court proceedings has undoubtedly had a beneficial effect.
to the essay written by Phyllis Anderson, of the 2nd Kowloon Ca
Finance
The Society went through an anxious period with regard to finance. Unfortunately, the date for the drive for subscriptions was not well chosen and, in addi- tion to this, owing to a series of misunderstandings some sub- seription cards were not distri- buted or collected as promptly as could have been desired. In con- sequence there was a considerable failing off in the subscriptions and. the Committee was faced with a. Our Patron, shortage of funds.
His Excellency. the Governor, very kindly recommended the Society as the recipient of the proceeds of a benefit performance given by the Harmston Circus. The Society received $868 from this source and we wish to ex- press
sincere thanks to Mr. Harmston for his generosity.
The Committee organised a highly successful fancy dress din- ner dance at the Peninsula Hotel.

Mr W. B. Einnigan was ap- pointed president for the ensuing year. Mr. J. Buchanan was ap- pointed Hon. Secretary, and the same committee as last year was also appointed..

TO-DAY'S ANNIVERSARY
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" This oath was first. administered in the inauguration of George Washington, April 30, 1789, on the balcony of the U.S. Treasury Build- ing in New York City.
For Fretful Babies Wise Mothers Use Baby's Own Tablets Because They Are
Free From Opiates.
Fretfulness in young children is usually due to stomach trouble. The use of soothing syrups fails to rorrect the cause of the trouble, la harmful, and is also unnecessary because Baby's Own Tables, guaranteed absolutely pure and safe, will sweeten the atomach, restore normal intestinal regularity, allay feverishness, and quickly bring comfort which allows the child to fall into a natural, calm and health-restoring sleep
"My little girl, four months old, cried all day long," says Mrs. Oscar Campbell, of No. 141, Cheat- mut-street, Central Falls, R. 1, "and was restless at night. She was troubled with indigestion and sour stomach and nothing seemed to help her. Finally a friend re- commended Baby's Own Tablets and the very first I gave her made her rest easy. She seldom cries now and is better in every way."
Baby's Own Tablets are sold by chemists everywhere, or post free, 60 cents per vial, from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., 60, Kiang- se Road, Shanghai.
