THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1889.*

light night and we were on the poop together. After a little conversation, I put on a knowing Mr. Braidwood asked if the scholars in ques-lock and winking very solemnly with my left eye, tion were boarders or day-scholars. On being told that they were boarders. he continued that at St. Paul's College, with which he is cohected, the boarders were members of the Club.

Mr. G. C. C. Master (hot. sec.) proposed that the request be refused, on the ground that if acceded to every other school could make a similar application, and have just as much right to consideration,

Mr. E. K. Chandler thought they might per- mit, say, half a dozen of the scholars to come, in consideration of the College paying a substantial donation to the Club funds.

Mr. Bailey seconded, but the amendment found few supporters, and the motion to exclude the bays was adopted.

The next business was the election of a Chair man, Secretary, Ireasurer, committee and aub committees for the ensuing year.

Mr. Holliday agreed to accept the office of Chairman, and was at once elected, on the mo tion of Mr. Master.

Mr. Laing complained, before the ballot for the Committee took place, that of the Bath- house sub-committee, Messrs. A. Denison, F. Grimble, and A. G. Stephen, the first two had probably not been in the Bath-house during the year, and that it had fallen into a very undesi- rable condition lately.

The ballotting then commenced, and resulted in the following elections :-

Bath-house sub-Committee Messrs. F. Shepherd, W. Laing and A. G. Stephen. Boat- house sub-Committee:-Messrs. E. Friedricha, 1. A. Sampson and A. Tarner. Gymnasium Sub-Committee:-Messrs, G. Bramwell, F. W. Koch and C. H. Thompson, Hon. Treasurer Mr. R. T. Wright. Hon. Secretary-Mr-G. C. C. Master.

The Chairman said the next matter for their consideration was with respect to the May Hosions. They ait knew what gave rise to the

all

Club the Committee were powerless in the matter. It would take too long to go into the matter then, and he suggested that it should be left to the Committee to deal with, in the event of the members desiring any alteration in the rules. To do this a requisition, signed by ten members, would have to be sent in, upon which the Committee would call a meeting and the whole matter could be thoroughly threshed out. It rested entirely with the members, though. At present the Committee had po power to exclude any Canton boat that might be built, and if the members desired to give them that power they should intimate the fact formally.

When they got into the cabin, the Officer locked the door from the inside, and asked Johnny to show up that opium. Of course Johnny protested his innocence. But the Superintendent began to search. Under the lower bunk he noticed a little plank contrivance. But the bunk was BO close to the deck that there was no reaching this suspicious-looking arrangement without lying. fit on his stomach and wriggling in underneath. But with the prospects before him of a big reward he did not mind distsing his clothes, so in he went It was, as he suspected, a beautiful west of 30 balls of opium. He rolled the balls out, one by one hom under the trunk into the centre of the cabin. But John. Chinaman was not asleep, Oh! no! The space under the bank was very small, the poor Superintendent was in a very uncomfortable position and could not see behind him. So as fast, as the balls came rolling out, Johnny picked them up and dropped them overboard, through": the "port." When the Superintendent had rolled out 30 balls and could find no more he wriggled out again, expecting to see John in state of collapse but not a bit of it. John was all right, but the opium was non est. "Where's that opium?" said the Superintendent. "What opium? Where opium? No got no opium." said the Celestial, quite unconcernedly. And it was very true. There was no opium to be found, and there had "been no witness to this scene to prove the opium as having been found. The Superintendent saw how matters stood and he must have looked and felt very small as he slunk out of that cabin in his dirty clothes, Rangoon Gaselle.
