After reading the minutes of the anual general meeting relative to tho calling of the extraordinary meeting, the chairman pointed out that at the least the increase would amount to $2,400, and at the most $2,800, which would mean a total increase of about $7,500 in the Club's revenue for three

The cost of erection of a new pavilion would be about $00,000,

In the Handicap events there are some good ponies which should provide good racing, and I shall look forward to some exciting Anishes.

The Grand Military Cup should provide one of the best races we have seen for many a day, as a number of our champion steeple chase ponies are all out to secure the handsome cup donated by one of the most enthusiastic of our race ing sportsmen. As the K.O.S.B.'s have six.ponies entered in this that event, it is safe to assume they will put up a big fight for the possession of the trophy.

CHINESE METHOD OF TELLING THE TIME.

Why, a correspondent asks, do cats dislike ultra-violet rays? He states that his tabby cat had a favourite seat by the window, and deserted it when the old window glass was replaced by a glass that allowed the passage of the ultra- violet rays,

The explanation probably is to be found in the fact that the cat objected to the alteration made fu her favourite sleeping place. There is, however, In animal literature a curious parallel.

The issue of debentures was sug gested, the proposer pointing out that the younger members would then be made to shoulder part of the cost of the new building.

Mr. C. J. Roc, Hon, Treasurer, op. posed the motion, remarking that they should not increase the cost of living on themselves, He favoured the fasue of debentures. He said the Club could be run so that $1,500 could be saved annually, and with their present reserve the necessary money could be raised.

Another member remarked that the money which would be raised by in- creasing the subscription was a mere that was necessary.

SHAMEEN FOOTBALL.

TWO MORE LEAGUE GAMES.

There have been two further games in the Shameen Football League during the last few days.

On Monday afternoon H.M.S. Tarantula defented H.M.S. Moor- hen by two gonia to one, The gamo was quite even and the Moorhen put up a far better de fence than was expected.

On Wednesday afternoon the Shameen Sports Club secured an easy victory over H.M.S. Moorhen by four goals to nil. The Shameen Sports Club had the game well under, control during the whole time and H.M.S, Moorhen scarcely got a single opportunity of getting near the Shameen goal.

About a quarter of an hour after the start, Geo. Duncan scored the first goal for Shameen and ten minutes later J. Rodger again netted the ball. Almost imme- diately afterwards, F. B. W. Lam- mert scored a splendid goal ranking the score 3-nii 'In favour of the [Shameen Sports Club at half-time,

About half way through the second, half, F. D. W. Lammert again made a most spectacular shot into the net, scoring the only goal after half-time and thus making the Anal score 4-nil in favour of the Shameen Sports Club.
