To name any Landon club as the club of the season is not only invidious but, usually misleading, because of the variation In fixture lists.

Eight fifteens will be put in the field throughout the season and a inth up to Christmas. The Scot- tish realise fully that the clubs who give games to upwards of a hundred players every Saturday, and they are not few in number, are the strength of Rugby.

EXILE CLUÉS

The experience of another exile club, the London Welsh, was exact- ly the opposite to that of the Scottish-one match lost up to Christmas, and then disorganised teams and an unwelcome propor: tion of defeats. However, it is hoped that J. Maddocks. the scrum-half (who broke a leg last year in a "comle" unofficial match) will be fit, and with V. G. J. Jen- kins, E. C. Davey, R. Thomas, "and G. R.

HONG KONG RIFLE

Spoon And Practice Shoot

The second Spoon and Practice | proceeding apace. A site has been

Shoot of the season, which was held by the Hong Kong Rifle Asso- clation on the Army Ranges at Kowloon City yesterday afternoon, produced some very good shooting with the S.R. (b) rifle, in spite of the rapidly changing light at all three distances, and a fickle and ever-varying wind.

The attendance was below the average. doubtless due to the ab- sence in the North of so many members of the Association, while new units have not yet had time to settle down, and to start shoot- ing in earnest.

It is of interest to note that the

Association's Clubhouse sustained remarkably little damage in the recent typhoon; except for one or two doors which were blown off their hinges, and certain windows which were similarly affected, lit- tle actual harm was done. Cer- tain glass had to be renewed, but structurally the building stood the force of the wind particularly well. The chief repairs which have been found necessary, apart from the matters referred to above, were in connection with the external and internal decoration applied to the walls, and it has been found un- necessary to do all this work over again. Some idea of the force of the wind may be gauged from the fact that the wooden staircase which leads on to the roof, was torn bodily from ita concrete sockets, and was deposited un- harmed on the ground many yards away from the building.

definitely selected, and it is hoped to obtain official approval for the necessary work to be carried out during the next few days, Simi- larly the matter of miniature rine shooting is new well in hand, and preparations are being made to start this section in the very near future.

We are asked by the Hon. Secret tary to point out to all members that the Council of the Assocía- tion is very anxious that the new Issue of the Year-Book, now in course of compilation, shall be as profusely illustrated possible, and a special appeal is therefore made to all Individual full mem- bers. and. in particular, to all affiliated units and clubs, to "send in at once any photographs which Have been taken during the last twelve months, and which show individual and team prize-winners of any of the events at the An- nual Prize Meeting held last April. Should

any group photographs have been taken, in the same period, of members of the various affiliated organizations, a copy of these will be qually welcome; and

neces- it is emphasised that the sary blacks for reproduction par- poses, will be made free of all charge to those concerned.

During the last week several applications for individual full membership have been received, and in spite of the abnormal con- ditions, now prevalling. It is pos- sible that, by the end the year. more than 700 full members will have been enrolled since the in- ception of the Association just over two years ago.
