That the sport provided was ther- oughly enjoyed was reflected in the happy faces at the conclusion of the meeting, and by the resounding nature of the cheers given for Lt. Colonel Christian, who presented the prizes at the close. Some good times put up in the shorter racea, and ner Gill, known to many as a pro lific scorer of goals, came in first in six events, with two seconds, also taking part in the Inter-Battery Off cers and Other Ranks Race, in which his Battery were second. It is por haps as well, both for Gill as for his fellow-gunners, that he was able only to be given three prizes, or 31st Battery might have been com- plained against for taking more than their share, apart from the additional transport that would have been re- quired.

Although the hurdle race did not provide anything in the shape of re- cord time it was well fought out between Gnr. Chambers, 1st Lt. Christian, 2nd., and L/Sgt. Lawrence, 3rd.

sub-committee.

The Chairman pointed out that the sub-committee decided that ground and first floors of 1 and 2, Pak Taz Lane, were too dark and not fit for human habitation. An appeal had been made by the own- er against this decision. The Chairman asked the members of the Board to support the sub- commitles.

Mr. M. K. Lo said that he under- stood the position to be that the property had been bought years ago for the purposes of a domestic The pole jump found Gnr.

He had seen the houses, and although he agreed they were rather dark| he had seen darker houses. Per- haps the day when he visited them was sunny cheerful.

The first race, the 100 yards, pro-in vided Gill with his first win, in the more than good time of 10 seconds dead. Gnr. Buery, 20 Battery, was second in 4/5 of a second longer, with L/Bdr. Whithall, 31 Battery, a good The time equalled the Army third, record.

Gill also proved the winner of the putting the shot, with u put of 31 ft. 9 ins., four inches separating him and Gar. Williams of 31 Battery, who was two inches farther than L/Bdr. Whithall.

Gunner Gough ran well to win the one mile in 5 mins., 12 3/5 secs., and 12 Battery provided the runner-up in Gnr. Stanton, with Gnr. Humber, 31 Battery, third.

In the high jump, thanks to the coaching of Lt. Christian, L/Sg Lawrence reached 5 ft. 3 ins, with Gnr. Leadbetter, also of 12 Battery. second, an inch lower. Lt. Christian managed & ft. himself, but his ex- ample was encouraging to the winner

and runner-up.

Gill came to the fore again in the discus-throwing, with 81 ft. 8 ins. for first place. Gnr. Hayward, 12 Buttery, was second with 76 ft 4 ins., int Bdr. Whithall third with 74 ft. 8 1/2 ins.

The ubiquitous Gill then proceeded to win the 220 yards race, in the ex- cellent time of 23 2/5 sees., 1 1/5 sees, outside the Army Record. Gnr. Greenwood, and Gar. Lewis, both of 12 Battery, were second and third respectively.

By this time, 31 Battery, thanks chiefly to the efforts of Gill, were 12 points ahead of the nearest Battery, No. 12, and a street in front of 20 Battery-

"Points had been reckoned

at the rate of 8 for a win, 4 and 2 for second and third places, but, for the tug-of-war, and the 1/2 mile rulay, both yet to come, points were awarded 12-0-0, and there was a danger that 12 Battery might score well in bath events.

Gill could only obtain second place the quarter, but the winner, L/Bdr. Whithall, came from the same Bat- tery, so that the Battery points were Gar. chiefly in the hands of 31.

The Lewis, 12 Battery, was third. time was 64 4/5 seconds. against an Army record of 60 7/10 seconds.

The hammer fell also to 31 Bat- tery, for whom Gill threw 70 ft. 8 3/4 ins. Gnt. Forrester and Bdr. Scott, of 20 Battery, being second and third, with 70 ft. 8 1/2 ins., and 69 ft. 10 quarter-of- ins. A very fortunate inch for 31 Battery,

After referring to the Ordinance he said that he did not think that it applied to the present case, where the premises had been originally bought houses. He suggested that the Government should resume the premises as he did not think the Board was justified prohibiting the use of the premises without compensation to the owner. the owner were willing to set them back three feet the Board should be satisfied,

After much informal discussion between individual members of the Board, the Chairman put to the meeting his proposal that the Board support the finding of the sub-committee who decided that the ground and first floors of 1 and 2, Pak Tsz Lane should cease to be used for human habitation.

The Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga put; forward an amendment that the owner be called upon to execute such work to abate the nuisance in order to conform with the re- quirements of the Board,

Mr. T. N. Chau seconded the amendment which was unanimous- ly carried.

On the proposal of the Chair- man the Board agreed to invite the Medical Officer of Health to investigate the possibility of creat- for foun- ing a factory reserve dries, smithies and such like ob- jectionable trades.
