The Annual Meeting. The Vice President (Mr. R. E. Lindsulla presided at the annual meeting of the Kowloon Cricket | Clubs Cheld in, the Club house last evening. He was supported by the Hon. Secretary (Mr. P. Heathcote) | and the Hon. Treasurer (Mr. H. E. [Stevens).

Proposing the adoption of the report and accounts, the Chairman said the net profit on the working) account for the eleven months of the Club year-at the last meeting the Club decided "to,, close the year? at the end of July instead of Augustas previously---amounted to just over $4,000. as compared with $5,125 for the twelve months pre- feeding. Taking one month's pre- fits as averaging about $370. G11 the twelve months working, they would thus have made about $800 less than they did last year." This ; decrease, however, was almost entirely accounted for, firstly by the drastic way, in which they had written down the value of their| pavilion and furniture--it which, in view of the likelihood of the Club having before many years to move to new quarles, he trust- jed the mecting wouki consider wise--and - secondly, by the in- |crease in thef' wages' bill,, which was partly a sign, of the times and partly due to their new policy, of runing the bar.

There were, Mr. Lindsell said, seviral directions in which increased, expenditure must benefit the Club, and the eutsing down of their har profits by lowering the prices of drinks would still leave them with a profit on their working account at the end of the "year.
