ASSOCIATION DESIRES LARGER

MEMBERSHIP..

A good deal of business, left over froni a previous meeting, was transacted by the Kowloon Residents' Association this' week. This Association is an active body, but it feels that its sphere of in- fuence would be widened considerably if. more Kowloon residents would "join

up."

The first matter dealt with at the adjourn ed meeting of the Association was the selection of a.nominee of the Association to fill the vacancy caused by the impend ing departure on leave of Mr. B. Wylie who as present represents the Associa, tion on the Education Board. The Rev. G. R. Lindsay was unanimously elected and it was decided to ask the Govern ment to appoint him. A letter from the Government was then read stating that it was considered that the usefulness of the Education Deard was increased by holding its meetings in private, but that it was in the discretion of the Board to give communique to the Press.

KOWLOÓN BUS SERVICE.

Suggestions for the improvement of the Kowloon Bus Services were next con- sidered and it was decided to appoint a Sub-Committee to go fully into the matter in order that some definite scheme might be evolved which would improve matters.

The old complaint of dearth of riders is again being heard, and with Mr. Davey a probable absentee, on June 5th, there may be some difculty in finding sufficient riders in the Banstead Plate, 6-3, 6-4. in which so many ponies appear to have a real fighting chance.

Mr. Reidy had the misfortune to fall down the slaughter house steps a few daye ago and sprain his right wrist. However, he should have recovered before June 5th. At any rate, he is determined to ride at Fauling Steeplechase on Whit Monday (May 24th) even if he bax "only one arm available."
