GARDEN CITY EN FETE.

Successful Sports Meeting.

The third annual athletic sports meeting in connection with the New Garden City of Homuntin took place yesterday afternoon and was attended by a large gathering of spectators. Owing to the lack of a suitable course the sports were held on the sande motor road of Pesca Avenue, Kowloon, giving no little trouble to the officials and committed in controlling the spec- tators There were about twenty events, some of them being marked by "extremely good results con- sidering the fact that the condi- tion of the course did not condute to good racing.

The different races were keenly contested. Perhaps the most spec- tacular event as the 100 yards handicap for the band of HM.S. Titania, the competitors in which were required to play their instru- ments whilst running. The ladies nomination race also attracted £ |good deal of attention, the cond

tions requiring the ladies to light cigarettes for their partners before the rase started.

During the afternoon the Titania Band played a delightful pro-

gramme.

The prizes were distributed by Madama Albuquerque e Castre, wife of the Portuguese Consul General, at the conclusion of the sports.

Before the ceremony the Pre- sideat. Mr. Leo d'Almada, said:. "Ladies and gentlemen, before the distribution of prizes, allow me in

THE PROBLEM OF TURKEY.

Washington, April 11. The White House announces that the American representatives at the Lausanne Conference will probably be the same as at the first conference, namely Mr. Child, Mr. Grow and Admiral Bristol.

Constantinople, April 14.

Until practically the eleventh hour the Chester scheme was re- garded almost as a joke, both in Turkish and foreign circles: ever! the National Assembly did not treat the proposals seriously. But suddenly the whole scheme was rushed through by the Government, and not a single detail discussed.

The scheme provides for the construction of broad gauge rail- ways along the five principal routes, in addition to optional lines; also the construction of ports, mining development and the rebuilding of Angora, with the option of large water electrical schemes and erection of big factories.

A Turkish paper quotas Admiral Bristol as saying that Chester is not connected with the United States Government, and as expressing ignorance of the extent of Chester's financial support.

It is expected that the grant of the concession, of which the legality is unquestionable, will seriously complicate-the problems shortly to be discussed at Lausanne. The Turkish press is somewhat sceptical of the feasibility of the scheme.

In a speech in the City Hall, General Smuts expressed the opinion that the time was imminent when the British Commonwealth would have to define its position vis-a-vis the disturbed international situa- tion. He declared it impossible for the Empire to remain an indifferent spectator of the forces in Europe which were likely to end in the ruin of European civilisation. He urged that without any spirit of abrogance or intermeddling. but in sincere loyalty to the cause of peace, the Empire should speak before it was too late.
