A large number of members and friends were present and during the evening the presentation of a travel ling auit-case was made to Mr. Roes. In making the presentation Mr. Logan, Vice Chairman of the Club, said that the expensive gift was made possible, through
the generous subscriptions of over 150 members.
The new bathing pavilion of the Chinese Amateur Athletic Fedora- tion at Quarry Bay was officially declared open on Saturday by General Tsai Ting Kai, the famous leader of the 19th Route Army.
Thero was a present, and

Among those present were: the Hoo, Dr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G.. LL.D. General Cheong Chee Kong, who is the President of the Chinese National Boxing Association in to Nanking, and who has come Hong Kong and South Chins for the specific purpose of teaching the Chinese Art of Boxing and self defence: Mr. Leung Put Yue, Vice- President of the Association, Mr. Tong Shiu Kiu.

Afr: Chan said that the erection of this magnificent new pavilion, by far the best on the North Point water front, had occupied a period of two years.
General's Advies.
The General in declaring the Pavilion open sanidst lond applause said that he was very pleased and honoured to open the new Bathing Pavilion which he said. was the Anest he had seen.
He gave a brief history of the sporting side of the Chinese nation those in and said it was up to Hong Kong, and those who were members of this Association, to keep up the prestige of the Chinese
nation,
M
The Club was indebted to the service and guidance which Mr. Ross had shown during the past year and to the success it had achieved. Mr. Ross carried with him the best wishes for a happy holiday
in his Scottish home-land and a welcome return to the Club.
Like all Seatchmen Mr. Ross had
little to say. He thanked members for the support he had received which, he said, had made his duties 90 much easier. If they would continue to support Mr. Dixon (the newly elected Secretary) in the same way he felt sure that the club would have another suc- cessful year.
"Fred and His Pals."
The variety and musical concert was much enjoyed. "Fred and his Pals" produced some of the "hot test" jazz music possible; each member of the band playing three instruments. The Silva trio won great applause as "crooners;" and Ed da Roza with his mouth-organ showed that he could do other) thinge aa good as his diving. Lionel Roza-Pereira did a new trick with
gramophone, while Jimmy Ree- dios was clever as a tap-dancer. The senior rowing four, including the cox, made a valiant attempt, at a rowing song but the griffin crew had them beaten all the way. Mr. Dixon gave a recitation about "Dogs," and this was conveniently followed by a hot-dog supper.
