GAMBLING

Stock Exchange Action

According to an

advertisement appearing elsewhere in this laade, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has decided that, as from April i in connection with the transaction of business for forward delivery, distinctive numbers of the shares bought and/or sold by members shall be inserted in the contact

notes.

An amictal communication in re- gard to this question was made in-by the Secretary of the Exchange

yesterday and it was as follows:

A large number of guests, cluding many Europeans, were pre- sent, and in giving the toast of the evening. the Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall said that he had been requested by Sir Robert Ho-tung to express his regret for his in- ability to be present owing to the somewhat strenuous afternoon spent at the Aberdeen Industrial School. Continuing, Mr. Kotewall Bald :—

"All of you, I am sure, will ahare my regret that Sir Shouson Chaw owing to indisposition, is nót with us this evening. If he were here, he would no doubt have given us one of his witty after- dinner speeches which would de- ught our hearts and ald our diges- Unfortunately for you. he

A Friendly Party

I should like "Brst of all to thank our other guests, our English friends, for their kindness in joint ing us in this friendly party. The gathering, though pervaded with a spirit of friendliness, tb tinged with a feeling of regret, for we are saving. 'Good-bye' to a good friend. We would have liked to give Mr. Mackle a public dinner. but he has expressed a preference for this smaller but more friendly party. Mr. Mackle has spent twenty-two years. In the Colony, and during that comparatively long period he has made a large

number of friends among the Chinese. We have learnt to like him and to respect and admire him. We like him as a man, for his geniality and simplicity of na- ture; we admire him as an able and shrewà business man; and we

respect and trust him as a public

Mr. W. J. Carron, Chairman of the Hong Kong Sharebrokers' Asso- ciation, in an interview, stated he was unable to voice any opin- ion on the matter. A meeting of the Association was being called for to-day and after the matter has been discussed, a decision will be arrived at.
