He referred to the Kowloon Foot- ball Club, which, he said, usually bad four players in their teams who had learned their soccer in Hongkong. It would not be encouraging youths to play soccer by raising the subscrip- tion of the Club.

Mr. Goldman contended that it was not a good idea having youths of 18 or under in the Club. For one thing, there was the bar in the club-house, where a boy could get a drink on credit. If these youths could not afford to pay $5 more a year, it stood to reason that they also could not alford in pay $2 or $3 month for drinks.

Another member pointed out that the Club had never. depended on the subscription to keep the Club going. Every year, they had a good share in the receipts, but these fell with

gate a thump last year. He felt that they ought

to make themselves independent of Rate receipts, and approved of in- ereasing the subscription,

The Club had the new premises and the ground to maintain, and it cost a lot of money, added the speaker. They always had a share of the gate receipts, but in former years they did not have a Club-house to maintain,

The Chairman then explained to the meeting that they were to decide which of the following three motions to adopt: (1) Mr. Goldman's pro- posal of raising the subscription from $5 to $10 and not having a junior mortiers' section; (2) Mr. Logan's mement, approving of the increase junior

One of his regrets at leaving was that he would not see the new club house. It was a scheme in which he had always taken a very great interest.
