Many of those who witnessed the gymkhana on Saturday afternoon" echoed the sentiments expressed by Colonel Montague Bates at the close of the meeting. He said it had been the most successful gymkhana that had been held in Hongkong for years. He hoped that it would become an annual feature. It was a good show and those respon- sible for the arrangements deserve full "It is important that all boys should praise.

Motor 'buses come right up to the very accessible from all site, which is parts of Hongkong and Kowloon. Small boys can come in absolute safety. The boys, large and small, seem very happy in their new surroundings. After school all kinds of games are played. Cricket, football, kite flying, general games, rounders, baseball, etc. A chess club is being formed and some boys are also taught how to play music on hand and tubular bells.

Walks and paper, chases are beld in the neighbouring country and launch pic nics are arranged at intervals.

When the band played the cycles and side-cars moved when the band stopped the cycles stopped too. The lady passengers made a dash for the chairs; always one of them was just too late. Mrs. Castro and Mr. Gascoyne deserved their win. The former quickly realised the advantage of watching the Bandmaster's baton; the latter exhibited a wonderful control over his powerful machine.

The Novelty Race was a Bort of obstacle race. It included, lighting and smoking a cigarette, after a dash across the ground in a side-car, then back in the car to the other end of the ground to drink a bottle of lemonade and back again in the car to the other end, etc." The onlookers were a bit confused as to what the competitors were doing; details might be printed in the programme next year.
