. Both Shanghai and Malaya are probably visiting Hongkong this win- ter and we hope to have the honour of entertaining them at the K, C. C. Members wishing to play cricket this season are requested to sign their names on the board in the Club House.

Tennis.

Due to heavy raine during the last two months, the annual lawn tennis tournament has not progressed very far and it is hoped members will make an effort to play off their ties before the cricket season commences.

We entered three teams in the Hongkong Tennis League. Owing to several of our senior players not being available our B. and G. teams were weakened through the transfer of the players from B, to A. and C. to B. teams.

The A team was placed third in the League but the other two teams did not do very well.

Altogether 32 players participated in the matches.

- Lawn Bowls.

This game has attracted many more players this year than ever before.

The keenness of several new bow- fers this season is very gratifying. Cricket and tennis enthusiasts have taken to this so-called "old man's game."

All, competitions are being keenly contested, and the Committee take this opportunity of congratulating the winners of the various trophies.

It is very gratifying that our bow. lers won the 2nd Division League Championship and we have great hopes of repeating last year's success.. Our green is one of the very best greens in the Colony.
