A few remarks on the incipient history of the newly-formed club are not out of place here. Some- time ago Dr. Lim Boon Keng of Amoy, and concurrently President of the Rotary Club- there, earnestly urged Mr. Yew Ah Kow of Jardine's to try: and form a Rotary Club in Swatow. The iden of such a club was found to be Impracticable with all sorts of natural obstacles in the way; however, Mr. John Robinson, M. A. Dean and Mr. Tong worked hard and between them the idea of an international Chib was con- ceived. and culminated in ita ultimate formation.

A clever piece of work that left little or no trace, was described at the Central Magistracy yesterday when Leung Bon Wan, unemploy ed was charged before Mr. W. | Plymouth-London-Amster- Schofield with stealing a · gråmo- phone, a book of records, an elec tric fan, a.fox fur, and a clock the property of Tso Tak Wan, a nurse at the Yeung Wo Hospital on the night of January 31, og

Acting Inspector Carey said that"| the theft was perpetrated on the third Boor of No. 19 Yi Yam street, gaining admittance defendant through a door secured by a Vále lock with the help of jemmy, with which he sprung the lock. No 'damage was done to the lock at all, except by the marks of the Jemmy on the door, and after it had been closed it was dincult to tell that it had been opened.

Defendant was arrested on in- torination at No. 12 Star Street, where the fan was found. The other articles were recovered from pawnshops. Inspector Carey sald that defendant appeared to be a member of a particularly clever gang. Two other men were known to the police in connection with the case, but they had not been arrested,

The hand gives an interesting sidelight on end-play-If the K of Hearts had been in North's hand in lieu of the 10, any open- ing by South barring a Heart would have made a Vienna Coup possible. The play would have been to lead trump, cash the three Club tricks, the Ace and King of Spades, and

balance of trumps. On the 11th trick North had to split his Heart bonours or part with his high Spade; in the former case, the A. J Hearts f Dummy would have made, in the latter case. East's 9 Spades would have made plus Dummy's A of Hearts, total 18 tricks.
