The annual general meeting of $1,360 the European. Young Men's Chri- stian Association, Kowloon,

held yesterday evening, Sir Henry Pollock, K.C., presiding.

The chairman remarked that the accounts and report- for the year had already been in the hands of the members, and he would, pass over them briefly, Sir Henry read a letter of appreciation received from the petty officers of H.M.S. Berwick, thanking the Y.M.C.A. for their kind help and the privileges extended to the ship's company during their stay on the China Coast.

The chairman also remarked that the "Cheer O" branch in Hong Kong would soon lose the valuable services of Mr. W. L. Pattenden, who was soon going Home for good. Sir Heary added that he hoped that the "call of the East" would draw Mr. Pattenden back to the Colony, for he was badly needed by the Y.M.C.A. They also regretted the departure of Mr. J. II. Hunt, the secretary, and Mrs. Rynt, who were soon to go Home" on furlough, and of Mr. D. Scott, the Hon. Treasurer. He wished them all a happy voyage to the Homeland," and a safe return. Mr. Scotts' vacancy would be filled by Mr. Mills of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank,

The Building Extensions. Sir Henry remarked that the As sociation. had in mind, if the fin- ancial position would allow it, an extension to the present building with two doors which would clude a swimming bath and a Lounge Hall. This extension would cost 8108,000. The Association was

It is regarded as a severe blow to bull-fighting as a desirablo national sport, but also because it puts dificulties in" the way of training coming generations of bull-fighters.

With a view to conciliating pub lic opinion the decree has also been made applicable to boxing matches, which children under 14 years of age are now forbidden to watch in spite of the ever-growing popular- ity of boxing...
