MR. R. M. DYER MADE PRESIDENT.

MEETING AT VOLUNTEER

HEADQUARTERS.

There was a fairly large attend ance at the messing of the Hong Kong Bite League held at Volun teer leadquarters yesterday, when it was decided to revive the associa tion, which has been dormant for about a year.

THE MOTOR-CYCLE

THE COURSE DESCRIBED.

AN APPEAL TO "GOOD SPORTS."

Full details of the proposed Reliability Trial are now available and the rules and course have been decided upon. The Trial is open to any licensed driver of a solo motor cycle or combination. The "passen- ger enrried in the side car will not be allowed to drive the machine, and no pillion passenger may be taken on solo machines.

would perhaps he wise to circulate those definitely known to have been previously connected with the Rifle League, in order that their views may be sought, regarding the ques- tion of resuscitation.

Accordingly, a meeting was held on December 15, 1829, and it was unanimously decided that an effort HONG KONG LEAGUE-DIV, IL | should be made to revive the

League, and that a public inceting should be called for that, purpose. At this meeting Mr. Summera pro duced the books and all documents belonging to the Association, and also balance sheet, dated April, 1829, showing cash in hand, amount ing to 341.0. The sum of $21 was also due to the League from one of the competing teams, in a ride meeting held in March, 1928, mak- in a total credit of 886.09. Against thie, was an outstanding account of 19.12.0, in respect of miniature shields supplied from Home.

All present were satisfied with the explanations given by Mr. Sun- miere and decided to call a public Jureting formally to revive the Association. We are now gathered here for that purpose, and I have much pleasure in moving that the Hong Kong Rifle League be revived and that the balance sheet, dated April, 1999, which is certified na being correct by three former mein. (bers of this body, be adopted.

This was seconded by Mr. D. Wahnsley and carried unanimously. The Chairman announced that the next business was the election of a President. "At the meeting in December several names were mentioned in this connection," said Mr. Wylie, but I was asked to approach Mr. R. M. Dyer, and he has consented to take office."

Mr. F. Yourg was elected Hon. Secretary and Mr. F. Lakey Hon. Treasurer and the following Exceu- tive Committee appointed: Mcesrs. F. C. Goodman, T. Swan. A. W. Ritchie. C. H Summers, and, on Goodman's proposal, Mr. Mr. Dovey's name was added.

The second lap will be the same

way again but stopping at Castle Peak where a one hour halt will be made for breakfast. During this interval there will be a starting test. Competitors will be required to start their engine within five stconds. One point will be lost for each second taken to start after the five seconds allowed.

Leaving Castle Peak after break- fast, the riders will come back to Kowloon via Un Long, Fanling and Taipo to the Road Junction at

the foot of Waterworks Hill then on to Castle Peak and right round again finishing at Kowloon. The first competitor (it is not a race!) will probably be due back at Kowloon at the end of the trial nt about 1.30 p.m. on the afternoon of January 31.

Checks have not been fixed, but competitors will be required to arrive at the stopping places within one minute (early or late) of their scheduled time. Outside this limit two points will be deducted for each minute or part of a minute after the right time, and three points for each minute before the right time. If secret checks are employed the competitors who are ahead or behind time will be penalised even more severely.

·MR. ·CHURCHILL USES A "DOUBLE."

STRATEGY TO ELUDE HIS "KIDNAPPERS."

Mr. Winston Churchill made a call to youth recently when he ad dressed students of Bristol Univers- ity as their new Chancellor.

A plot to kidnap Mr. Churchill on his way to the meeting at the frustrated University Union was

by sending on a "double" in ad. vance. The crowd of cheering students accompanied the "priso.. ner to the court arranged in the Union building, and his disguise was not discovered until the arrival of the real person.

Mr. Churchill, addressing the students later, said the most im. portant thing about education was Education did not bo- appetite.

The road is open to you," he said. "Take full advantage of these years when the wisdom of the world is "placed at your disposal, but don't spend too much time in. buckling on your armour in the tent.

Des ment, the sum of $220.50 ng balance pite the fact that it is generally due for money lent. said that English people have no soul for Opera, there is no doubt that when a good and lovely show is offered here in Hong Kong every one is glad to welcome it. and, for lovers of music and of opera in particular the visit of this company is one to look forward to.

Perhaps one of the chief charmis of Carpi's Italian Opera Com pany, besides their vitality, is that so many of them are capable of taking the lead. The prima donna of one Opera has a comparatively minor role the next night, and a fresh, voice is heard in the star part. The same holds true of the men. This system has its obvious advantages. It prevents the com pany from going stale on the oue hand as every member is given m real chance, and on the other, it gives to each performance, some thing new for the regular patron in the audience. There are none- the-less natnes which everyone will remember from last year, Henkina, Bodini and Algozino among the ladies, and Manveri, Giovansone. Reali and Cararona among the men. Mme. Henkina gave a won derful rendering of Violetta in

Traviata," she noted magnificent ¡y and sang with intense emotion. Her voice is strong and well trained with some very lovely notes. Mme. Algozino was excellent 115 the in which psie in Trovatore' opera Mine. Bodini took the lead with considerable skill.

The magnificent presenen and deep basa voice of S. Regi will not be forgotten, nor the fine tenor of S. Giovannone. S. Manceri's name too recalls momente when one listened to excellent singing, i Trovatore, as do indeed many othere to which memory cannot definitely attach any particular rôle.

Plaintiff alleged that between March 1, 1010 and February 1, 1917 she advanced 8421.20 to the defen- dant. Up to June 30, 1027 defen- dant had repaid $200.70.

Defendant said that in 1915. he

· was caterer" to the boatmen's «mess at the Harbour Office and he bor royed $80 from the plaintiff in or der to carry on the venture. He paid interest at 86 a month for about a year and then paid off the debt of $60.

CX-

In answer to his Lordship as to writ the reason for bringing a against him now, defendant

ho scolded plained that in 1923 plaintiff's son for demanding pay- ment on his mother's account of a debt he had already repaid.

Speaking to Mr. A. E. Hall, who conducted plaintiff's case, his Lord- ship observed that ten per cent. interest per month seemed to be inonstrous if the woman's account' was correct. Later, his Lordship said it seemed more probable that the ten per cent,, although describ ed an interest, was a bonus added to the original loan, which was not so unreasonable.

Giving judgment, his Lordship said that he believed the entries in the plaintiff's books were made, by defendant himself, which he had denied. The claim on the writ was murely for the balance of the ac count au stated in the books and judgment would be given for plain- tiff in the claim and costs.

DELI MARU PIRATES. UNOFFICIAL STORY OF

POLICE COUP

"The transmission, ia dependent a favourable conditions and when renditions or unfavourable, re- curds will be played.",

Mr. T. II. King. Divisional Super- intendent of Police, Director of the Criminal Investigation Depart-5 ment, refused yesterday to give any official confirmation with re- gard to the rumoured Police arrest of three of the Deli Maru pirates. He told the Pressmen that it was his intention to withhold the story for a couple of days, at least pend- ing further investigations.

The story as popularly told is that the three pirates were arrested just after they had concluded the negotiations for the ransom of one engineer of the passengers-an

The money, $19,000 named Hsu. had actually changed hands, and had the pirates moved quickly they might have got safely back to Bias Bay. Rumours of the transaction had however reached the Police and one of the alleged pirates fell into their hands. On his informa- tion the other two were also appre- hended and 80,000 of the ransom noney found. How much of this is true it is impossible to say until ofheid reticence is relaxed, In the meanwhile the unfortunate Hsu, whose friends have paid heavily for his release, is left in an exceed ingly uncomfortable position, if the story is correct.

THE FISHERMAN'S TALE.

OFFER TO LOCATE ILL-FATED LEE CHEONG.

"It might be true, but I have not heard anything about it!" said the Harbour Master in re- ply to our representative's query regarding the alleged discovery of the wreck of the s.. Lee Cheong which went down near here on December with the loss of all on board, except two of the crew.

Ou calling at the Fook Hoi Co... the Daily Press representative heard that a few days ago, a fisher- He man approached the owners. said that he thought he knew where to locate the Lee Cheong, and if he found it, would the owners give him $3001

The

owders, however, asked "what if you do not find it?"

"Oh," said the fisherman, "it would only be fair if you gave' mo $150 for my trouble"

Since the owners have already spent $75 on hiring two big fishing junka and putting them on the job of trying to locate the vessel with. out success, it was only natural that they turned this brilliant offer down.

As far as salvage work is con- cerned, the owners inform us that they cannot do anything till April or even May, when weather condi tions will be better. And as for The Den Held of the big local shipping firms with an equally good proposition.
