GOLF CLUB MEETING.

NEW SCHEME FOR PAYMENT BY LADIES.

AS FROM APRIL 1. Subscriptions for lady members of the Royal Hongkong Golf Club were again discussed by members, at a largely attended meeting last night, when a resolution, setting the subscription

at not more than $3 a month, was carried.

The Committee's scheme, which will come into operation on April 1, provides for a fee of $2 a month for all playing associates, and $5 a year for those in the junior sec- tion.

And an Committee do not contemplate any retion in opposition to the wishes of the majority of the member, it was decided to call this extraordinary | general meeting.

Reasons for Action,

A. L. Sullivan, M. W. Lo, W. G. Hung and D. B. Evan all advanced to the third round, none being ex- ceptionally extended in their matches. the

Our late Chairman mentioned ons or two reasons why ladier should now be called upon to subscribe and it would be na well to record these reasons, and others, as in themselves they answer many, if not all of the objections previously ralaed.

The results in detall were:

It is not logical that something | 7-6. should be given for nothing.

It is even less loglent when one section of the members are directly or indirectly subcribing for the heneilt of others,

The membership has reached, if not paared, saturation point, and ho fors restriction comes Into Iorce, (It cannot be long delayed) it hardly arems right that a male applicant for full membership, willing to pay the entrance and full subscription, could not do so when at the time wo have a conalderable number of Indy members using the Clubs and courses entirely free

Ladies in Favour. The Ladies Committee is definitely in favour of the proposal.

At the moment probably less than half of the ludy players subscribo voluntarily to the Ladies Section Special Fund, and part of that money Is devoted certain benefits, open to those ladies who do not subscribe. Although the Club is doing well, we have to adopt a progressive rolley and this is Impossible without funds. At the moment we have not Kot any surplus funds and the over draft stands at about $25,000, there- fore if we are to wait until funds gre available, ail progress or expansion must stop for some yearO.
