LOSS OF $900 ON A CANCELLED BALL

MR. C. BULMER JOHNSON TO BE PRÉSIDENT FOR 1933

The annual general meeting of the Baciety of St. George, Hong Kong, was held yesterday in the board room of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Gloucester Building.

Major H. B. L. Dowbiggin, Pre sident of the Society for the year 1932, addressed the meeting us fol- lows:

The general funds show a balance of $4,054.42. which is slightly less than the opening balance on this account, Grants and donations amounting to 81,853.88 have again increased compared with a figure last year of 81,649.41. To meet ex- penditure on this account it was found necessary to transfer 8715.99 from the entertainment fund.

It will be seen that this fand is now exhausted by reason of the fact that in addition to the above it had to bear expenditure of 8904.84 in respect of the 1932 Ball, which was cancelled, and also a loss of B543.09 incurred in connection with the dance held on St. George's Day.

I am pleased to state, however that about one-third of the expes diture for the 1932 ball was for PATRIOTIC ACTION OF

stationery, badges, etc., which it CHINESE MERCHANT GROUP | Was possible to utilise for the ball held on Towlfth Night this year. It was a very great disappoint Your will doubtless bd glad to hear mont to Chinese merchants, and that we anticipato a profit on this indeed, to the Chinese people gen-function of about 8800 with which erally, when their Government do-

we propose to build up another en- cided, on March 8th, to withdraw tertainment fund. their promised financial support for the Chinese section at the Chicago World Fair, and it is only owing to the enterprise of a group of Chinese merchants that the programme which has been in preparation for the last eight months is able to be carriel on.

Charitable Calls.

It is intensely gratifying to me to report that as a result of our appeal, which accompanied the no- tice to members of their dues for the current year, kr amount of $450 A company called as nearly as has already been collectood to help one can translate "The Syndicateus to meet our Charitable Calls; I of Chinese Merchants to participate should like to take this opportunity in this chicas.

St. George's Day.'

Mr. Balmer Johnson said that the only other business was to decide how to celebrate St. George's Day. As to St. George's Ball he per- sonally would like to have a similar buffet ball on Twelfth Night. There were people who felt that in theso times of depression the ball should not be held, but he did not agree. He proposed that a similiar fune- tion to that held this year should take place.
