for the generous way in which you have responded to the Toast. It is very ice of Mr. Cruickshank to make such flattering remarks about us,

a tithe of which we do not deserve, for at present we have very few players, though not so long ago we had a very good team Follows come and go, some play, and more don't, and I am very sorry that just now we are not supporting the game as heretofore Mr. Whitehead has at previous annual dinners remarked that it was a Gunner" Major, now Col, Walter B. Fletcher, who started the game here. We are very proud of the fact that a "Gunner? was the pioneer of the noblest of all sports on this Island but I won't detain you any longer bayond cordially thanking Mr Cruickshank for proposing and the rest of you for so heartily responding to the toast. (Cheers). Captain Labortouche said-Gentlemen, I feel it is a great honour as well as a pleasure to be entrusted with proposing the health of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers Polo Players. They are true sportsmen and I hope it will be my luck to run across a Regiment who are so good men to meet, no matter where or how. It is a very great loss to the Club that half of the Regiment are in the North but in Peking they have

·started polo and are giving a night good -account of themselves there. Those here have had to contend against a series of accidents with ponies and but for this I feel sure they would have had a team which would have, carried off the Royal Artillery Challenge

point of view the promotion of all forms of muscular exercise is a national good of inestim able value... A wall developed body and n well informed miad o necessary partners for in- tellectual and material triumphs and nothing contributes so much in their favour-s- spaces and outdoor recreation. Men sana' in corpore sand is an old proverb, but I believa that for the preservation of the mens sahn the corpus sanum is absolutely essential. The reservation of Causeway Bay as an open space for the purposes of general recreation for all nationalities will promote the physical health and happiness of a large, number of re- sidents. Causeway Bay, has been reserved for general recreation since 1898 by Ordinance and is now known as the Queen's Recreation Ground. The Polo Club is getting on in years, having been started in 1987. During that period there have been many changes and no less than seven different regiments have been stationed here, viz-The Northamptonshire or 58th Regiment, alins the Steelbacks, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders or gist foot, the Shropshire Light Infantry or 53rd foot, the Rifle Brigade, the Prince of Wales' Own or 14th West Yorkshire Regiment, the 1st Royal Lancaster Regiment or the 4th King's Own and now fongkong is fortunate to have the privilege of the presence of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, formerly the 3rd Regiment. Amongst the polo playing members of these regiments there were the pick of the very best

the recent tournaments. I couple the toast with the sporting Capt. Cadogan. (Prolonged cheering).

Capt. Cadogan responded in suitable terms. Lieut. C. Badham Thornhill, said -1 assure you it is with much difidence but with great pleasure that I propose the Polo players in the 22nd Bombay Infantry. 1 regret the toast is not in better hands but I know the Bombays very well and can truthfully say they are band of true sportsmen. We have here to-night two conspicuous members of the Regiment, who played an important part in two of the late international teams. I believe the Regiment may be going away before very long sn it is therefore all the mere to their credit that they have supported the game to the extent they.. have done. I have a 'shrewd suspicion that if they remain with us they will put in the field one of the stronges? Regimental teams seen here for a long time as I know they have a pony or wo in training on the quiet over in the new territary, Gentlemen give you the health of the 22nd Bombay Infantry Polo players. Long may they stay with us and I couple with the toast the name of the genial Captain Labertouche one of the hardest and surest hitters and a brilliant player. (Applause). Capt. C. N. L. Labertouche said Gentle men, owing to the absence of a member of the Regiment-due no doubt to some grave cause, and whose name is on the toast list, I regret it devolves upon me to endeavour to reply for the 22nd Bombay Infantry. With regard to Polo players and, the Regiment to which I have the honour to belong I feel that the

ters, splendid horsemen and numerous brilliant players, a good many of whom I am grieved to say have found their last resting place in South Africa. That so few civilians are to be found amongst the playing members is greatly to be deplored, for the effects of the exercise are more bracing and far more lasting than the best tonics medical science can prescribe.". With the cordial co-operation of all branches of His ball will be kept rolling on Causeway Bay and Majesty's Services it is to be hoped that the that thereby we will maintain our health and strength and may be enabled to retain our handsome figures. The members are under great obligations to the ladies for honouring presence, which adds a distinct charm to the Causeway Bay Ground occasionally with their
