MEXICAN REBELLION.

In proposing the adoption of the accounts, the Chairman remarked that the balance sheet showed a defeit of $165, due chiefly to the heavy expenditure incurred in entertaining the Interport team from Shanghai, which amounted to $724. However, four clubs had not sent in their donations of $200 each in connection with the Inter-iscoring munitions vessels, porters' visit; when these dona- tions had been paid, the Associa- tion would have a small credit balance.

On the motion of the Chairman. seconded by the Hon. Mr. A. R. Lowe, the accounts were passed.

Various suggestions in regard to the alterations of the Associa- tion's rules were then introduced. A auggested amendment, which the Chairman described as a very sound one, was that the sum of $10 as entrance fee to the League be deleted, the amount to be de cided before the League starts. This was passed by the meeting. as was also an amendment to rule N 14 to the effect that the Lea- gue Cup is to become the property

Several agree- ments are already concluded, but cannot be enforced until the final settlement of all subjects under discussion. 3.
