Increased sources of income and

very substantially increased cash position were reported by Col. Brownrigg, presiding at the annual meeting of the Polo Club which was held at the Club yes terday evening.

Colonal Brownrigg addressed the meeting as follows:-

"The time now being past that called for the meeting we may prorced to business.

We may take as read the statement of the Club's accounts as

continue in the use of its present ground. We deprecate, however, the strict fencing in of the present ground by any new allottees in such a way as to prevent its present use as playground by the children of the neighbourhood unless an alter- native playground is provided.'

To Benefit Funds.

"The use of our ground on Satur- days and Sundays has been granted to the Royal Naval Recreation Club and football has been consistently played on these days. In return for this we expect a remuneration of $500 4 year, which, while it will be welcome addition to our funds, can in no way compensate us for the damage been done to OUT turf. that has It may be possible for the incoming Committee make arrangements for they have been in 3 your hands for some the ground to be used in a manner time.

"Our sources of income as compared with last year show an increase of $200 in subscriptions while the profit on wines, toas, sticks, is virtually the same at $159.87. We have again re-and back after play. ceived a generous grant from the Stewards of the Hongkong Jockey Club of $2,500 and I am sure you will join with me in expressing our gratitude for this very materiál assistance, which in the past has been a saviour to Polo in Hongkong.

Cash Position

"Dharing the year, we fave lost the hearty support that hits been given us for three years by the Omeers of the 2nd Battalión, K.O.S.B,'%.
