The President also referred to the fact that fewer new members had joined! the Society this year, but thought this was explained by the fact that fewer Scotsmen were coming to the Colony at

the moment.

In his Lordship's opinion the associa tion was illegal in consequence of the provisions of Ordinance 59 of 1911. Hel found it necessary to say that a' case

Church Parado.

He also referred to the successful church parade which was held at Union Church and said that if the Rev. J. Kirk Maconachie and the church authorities extended a further invitation to the Company this year, he hoped as many members of the Society as possible would attend the service.

The last Burns' dinner was thoroughly satisfactory and success also attended the ball which was held in February.

Oficers Elected. -

Dr. Black proposed Mr. R. M. Dyer as President for the coming year. He was a past president and had done splendid work during the war when the Society had sent Home large suma of money to war charities.

The Hon. Mr. A. O. Lang seconded, and the proposal was carried with en- thusiasm.

Mr. D. Templeton was elected Vice- president, Mr. P. Tod and Mr. R. O. Sutherland, Joint Hon. Secretaries, and Mr. W. Beveridge, Hor. Treasurer.

The following Committee was elected: Messrs. D. Gow, G., M. Shaw Stevenson, K. E. Grieg and A. K. Hen

Judgment with costs was entered for the defendant.

AN UNUSUAL APPLICATION. In the same Court yesterday Mr. Hugh- Jones Appearing for a defendant com- plained that Mr. M. K. Lo, the solicitor for the plaintiff, had not given him a statement of the costs.

On Mr. Lo replying that he had done so, Mr. Hugh-Jouer said that the only statement he received was in Chinese, and it was of no use to him. He wanted it in English. The statement comprised some three falios of Chinese characters, and to have it translated would cost 81.50 a folio. He asked that the tran- slation be made at the plaintiff's ex-

pense.

His Lordship remarked that it was an unusual application. The custom of the Court was against Mr. Hugh-Jones.

Mr. Lo said that bo had sent the Chinese statement to Mr. Hugh-Jones for the benefit of his client.

The case was held over to be heard in Chambers to-day.

NOT UNDERSTANDABLE.

In another case Mr. D. McCallum said that there were already two executions" for distraint against the defendant.

A member raised the question as to what form the celebrations were to take on November 30th, and Mr R., M. Dyer proposed and Mr. Black recorded that not think the proper Court procedure had it should be celebrated in the "old-Leen carried out. fashioned way" by holding a ball. This was carried unanimously.

"Rotten Scotch."

Mr. Templeton said he thought it would be interesting to know who wrote the doggerel in a certain Sunday news. paper. Either last week or the week be- fore it was stated that St. Andrew's So ciety only accepted as members those who were born within the borders of Scotland. That was bòsh. As soon as it, was known that all members of the Scottish race were eligible as members, the better. He thought someone, ought to sub-edit the utterance." The Scotch used was rotten. (Laughter.)" p.. The meeting closed with a vote thanks to the Chairman.

Mr. McCallum I have never yet properly understood the procedure in these cases,

Hongkong Weekly

Press.

THE PEOPLE AT HOME HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY CABLE THAT THE BOYCOTT IS ENDED.

It would be well to send them copies of the WEEKLY

in order that they may see the exact position.

Mr. Eugene Chen's letter to the Acting British Consul at Canton is given together with his second communique. Then there are the reports from all quarters showing how the news has been received.

There is a feeling of optimism both in Cauton and Hong- kong and the share market is beginning to re-act to, the more cheerful outlook, but for the moment, as far as actual trade is concerned, the position remains the same as it was a week ago..

The WEEKLY will give friends and business connections at Home the details which are necessary to enable them to understand the situation.
