"Mr. Russell joined this Club in 1004-nearly thirty years ago. He has been on the Committee almost continuously and he was President in 1000. For over twenty years he was grounds convener and I believe he made himself famous for the way he kept the greens and for his won derful vegetable garden. Some years age be was made a Life Member for his services to the Club. He was one of the pioneers and is one of the men we have to thank for the excellent Club we have to-day."

As a bowler he has had numer Otis successes at last year's Inter- port Dinner we heard him describ. ed as "the grand old man of bowls in Hong Kong." He was Open Champion of the Colony in 1912 and 1931 and he also reached the final in 1914 and 1923. In 1914 the final was not played off-to the relief of his opponent and in 1923 he was only second."

Cheers were then given for Mr. Russell and "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow very heartily sung.
