■ Hongkong Radio Club mooted in the Telegraph on Friday, has met with a most gratifying response the part of those interested in the subject So far, over-forty-games-2 have been sent in tolds by residents anxious to join such an organisation.

We appeal to everyone interested to forward ns! their names, and when more have been received it is our intention to call an inaugural meeting in the Telegraph offices for the purpose of putting the proposed Clab on a proper basis. This meeting will probably be held in the early part of next week, as, by reason of the tennis finala and semi-final occupying most evenings during the current week. some of those interested may not find it convenient to attend such a gathering until then.

Amongst those who have signified their intention of joining the proposed Club are several with exoert knowledge on the subjet, which they are quite will ing to place at the disposal of members.

Some of those sending in their names ask Da various questions in regard to licences for sex, etc. and we should like to say in this connection that all such queries will be dealt with at the inaugural meeting of the Club.

We are anxious that the Clab shall be started on a large and representative a basis as possible. Readers interested are therefore requested to send in their names without further delay.
