There is little to choose between the attack. The left wings of both teams are outstanding.

The annual meeting of the Houg Kong Cricket Club took place yes- terday at the Crub pavilion and there was a very large gathering of members,

The average date during the last months on which necounts have been posted to mem I think we may again congratu-bers works out as between the 7th late ourselves on another satisfac and 6th of the month and in only tory year.

addition to recurrent, expenditure (80) for an the War Memorial Plate.

RETERFISO, etc., has cost us a good deal more than usual, but the cricket pitch, which was the main item, hndly needed attention and I hope and believe it will justify the expenditure. The increase over the previous year was $1,950.69, but if you deduct this difference plus the expenses of running the annual teunis tournament ($1,881.48) you will find a very satisfactory result, the subscriptions exceeding the normal working expenses by 202.28.

BAL PROFITS are about 81,000 down in comparison. This is ac- counted for chiefly by lower ex- change rates and consequent higher gast, the charges for drink not being increased.

•

PROFIT AND Loss Accoust.. A small saving in Debenture interest is shown, but interest on overdraft shows an increase of approximately $500. This is explained by the fact that during the year ending 31st August, 1928, the Club possessed fixed deposit receipts amounting to $10,000, which matured and were! cashed on the following dates:- December 22, 1027, $5,000 and March 00, 1028, #3,000. During the pan- cial year just ended, the Club were carrying an overdraft for the first six months averaging over 814,000 and it was only during the last six months that any appreciable reduction was made when the over- draft averaged $8,000.

Bad Debts..

On the face of it the account might mislead you to think that we had reached the millenium apoken of by the Chairman two years ago. 1.regret to say that this is not so, but on the other hand the amount written off, compared with our turnover, is very small, only $89.43. This amount is, included under Sundry Creditors and Credit Balances "in the balance sheet. The reason for this is that a good many years ago (previous to 1920) cheques amounting to 8375 were insued but never cashed. As there

inost unfair to throw all this ur- necessary work on the shoulders of your Hon. Secretary, who already has quite sufficient to do in other directions. I trust, however, that he will not be called upba to do Here again I would remind this. you that it is open to members and subscribers to depósit a sum of say. $10 with the Treasurere and, if their account is by way of being a small one, the Treasurers will render them a statement monthly showing the aredit balance until the deposit is exhausted. This will save them being bothered with small bills to pay.

So much for the accounts.

The Past Cricket Season,

The past cricket season was on the whole a very satisfactory one. The first XI. did not lost a match and at 2nd XI. lost only 4 out I am of a total of 24 played.", pleased to say we came out top in both the 1st and 2nd divisions of the League.

As you know we are to have an Interport week, or rather fort- night, early in Novermber-both Shanghai and Malaya visiting us. and we are looking forward very much to the triangular contest. Invitations have been sent out to the different cricket clube in the Colony

send any possible inter porters they may have practice at our nets and I hope they will put in as much practice as possible. the nets will be up from 12.45 to 2.15 well as later in the after- noon. We are arranging as many trial matches as possible during the time at our disposal, and I hope we shall, when the time comes, have a side which will keep the flag in Hong Kong. At present there does not seem to be very much new talent available, and I regret to see so few keen cricketers amongst the young men who have come to the Colony during the past year. sincerely hope this will be remedied in future.

As those who played cricket last year know, our wickets were far from good. Judging by the games Played so far, there is a very great improvement, and I think we can confidently look forward to much better wicket than we, have had during the past few seasons.

Tennis.

Tennis had a long innings this year due to the drought. It is an ill wind that blows" nobody any

should bear in mind, however, that the ground is very small. Courts have to be shifted on account of wear and if all the ground were to be used at one time there is no chaues of its getting a rest except during wet weather. Again, in the spring it is generally necessary to returi parts of the courts, with the result that that part of the ground cannot be used for some weeks. Yet again, about August the ground has to be prepared for cricket not practice and to do so tennis courts have to be kept off that portion, otherwise there would be patches which could not be got ready in time.

MR. BULMER JOHNSON'S. CONGRATULATIONS, Mr. Bulmer Johnson: As your President has so lucidly presented the report and accouits: I am afraid to deal I cannot find any "snags with, I congratulate the members of the Club on their success in cricket and tennis. and especially on winning for the first time the trophy over there. I also congratu late the Club on being in such a strong financial position-consider ably more so than our friends over the way, though I personally con tribute more to them than to this place. (Laughter.) According to my observations and to the remark of our one and only R. Abbit. what we need is more bowlers and I hope you will all put your best feet-or rather your best art, forward to that end. I have very much plea sure in socording the report and ac- counts.
