}
SELECTIONS FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
[BY ARGUS.)
The closing day of the annual race meeting, held under the auspices of the H.K.J.C., should provide some big fields and excellent sport this afternoon. "
The first event is the Hay and Corn Stakes (è furlongs) for non-winning sub scription griffins of any season.
For this event, which should start at noon, the following will probably go to the post: Barley Grass, The Golden Pheasant, The Geezer, Lotus River, Shere Khan I., Blus Monday, Demon Boy and Invader.
THE SCOUT MOVEMENT. SHANGHAI COMMISSIONER'S TALK TO. LOCAL BOYS.
For the first time in the last sight years Chinese and forgiga boy scouts of Shang- hai met at a rally on January 24th, show- ing that, it was possible, under all cir cumstances, to practice the scout aim of international brotherhood.

Of the above, I prefer Lady Lovė, Fireworks and Daisy Dahlia in the order

The third event is the All Out Stakes (6"furlongs), for qualified ponies that

Probably the field will consist of Fire- works (in preference to the previous race), Folly, Saracen, September, Melody Dahlia and possibly Kagoshima.

The Rev. Waldegrave, before introdue. ing Mr. Millington, announced the award of the Prince of Wales's Banner for efficiency and service to the 7th, or Sai- yingpun Troop of Scouts, giving the Ying Wa Troop a mențion.
Mr. Millington illustrated his talk to the local scouts with motion pictures taken during recent encampments of boy scouts. A lengthy series of events in con- Dection with the Shanghai Scout Camp bearing Mr. Millington's name was creen- ed. Chinese Scouts, Jewish Scouts, Catholic Scouts, American and other European Scouts appeared in the scenes, In Shanghai to-day, there were some 300 to 400 European and more than 2,000 Chinese Boy Scouts.

The Professional Cup and Subscription Griffins Champion (11 miles) appears a. certainty for Total Abstinence. Home Call and The Gork may fill the places.
The Lucky Stakes should appeal to Grey Streak, The Penguin (or Saracen), Beldorney Star and Demon Boy. Golden- Chrysanthemum may swell the number,
O recent form Grey Streak, should win, but Saracen (if sent) must be borne in mind.
The penultimate event, the Also Ran Stakes (3 furlongs) for non-placed griffins and subs., will probably be won by Mr. Taggart's selected with Bay of Naples and Folly Alling the other places.
The last event cannot attract a large feld and I expect to see The Regent stall off all opposition.

POSSESSION OF BOMBS.
ONE MAN AND TWO WOMEN CHARGED.
At the Central Magistracy yesterday, before Mr. Lindsell, an unemployed Chinese fitter, and two Chinese women, were charged with having two bombs in their possession,
Detective Inspector Murphy said that he had been instructed by the C.S.P. to apply for a week's remand.
Replying to his Worship, he said that the bombs were about the same size as the cylinder, of a motor-cycle. They had not been examined and their contents had therefore not been ascertained. The women was found in the same house where the man was arrested.

Christmas Eve
Mr. Tam Foon Tong (Chairman of the Tung Wah Hospital, Hongkong) welcomed Mr. Tratman and said that the directors were fortunate in having him to perform the opening ceremony. The Kwong Wah Hospital was the outcome of subscriptions obtained by M. Li Yau Chia, from the residents of Kowloon and the Hongkong
merchants.
THE CHAIRMAN'S SPEECK.
The CHUAN of the Kweng Wah Hospital expressed on behalf of the Directors thanks to the Hon. Secretary for Chinese Affairs, Mr. Tratman, for so kindly coming to perform the opening ceremony, and to the other ladies and gentlemen for their attendance.

They all did very well, and two of them extra- ordinarily well (Cheers). There was no doubt. but that in that hospital they had ample material for the training of students, if only they could get people who were willing to train them. So far, the training of the nurses had been carried on by Drs. Ip, Lau and herself. There was one trained nurses in the hos pital for the practical training of narse in the wards.
