On Sunday, November 7, it is intended to take the visitors over to Johore, where no doubt they will have every opportunity of looking round the place, and it is probable that His Highness the Sultan will entertain them,

On Thursday, Novembar 11, a smoking con cert in honour of the visitors will be held in the S. a. C. pavilion, at dine n'clock. This will be open to all members of the club without. payment, and chits for refreshments will be signed in the usual manner. The musical airaogements, are in the hands of Messrs. Whitefield, Mayson and Browo, who have been appointed a sub-committes for the purpose,

It should further be mentioned that the sub-committee which has charge of the ar rangements for matches and other details of the visit consists of Messrs. H. W. NOOD, R. M. Cantrell, NR. Bath and G.
