POLO MATTERS

Loss Sustained By Club During Year

A loss of $1,318.87 on the year's working was reported by the Hong- kong Polo Club at the annual general meeting held yesterday afternoon in the board-room of Messre. Jardine, Matheson and Co.

Brigadier II. G. Seth-Smith presid ed, others present belog Mr. J. K. Bousfield, Mr. II. C. Macnamara, Bir. W. L. Stanton, Capt. Shannon, Lieut. Portman and Capt., Dwydr Jones,

The Chairman said:

An examination of the income and expenditure shows that we have ngain to record a lone, in this case amount- Ing to $1,318.87, in comparison, with $619.05 for the previous year. This may be attributed in part to an in- crease in our expenses of $145.22 of which $100 arises from tho

necessity of writing-off the amount shown in last year's balance sheet against the Club's pavillon at Causeway Bay, which has now been handed to the R.N.R.C. This, plus Interport ex- penson on the occasion of the Shang- hat team's visit, plus small increades in the course of upkeep and wages, has more than offset the considerable saving shown under general expenses. The reduction in income amounted to $653.70.

It is to be hoped that some im provement on these figures may be registered in the current year for, as predicted at our last annual meeting the transfer to the Club's new ground in Kowloon has involved a consider. abie outlay on atables, cow sheds, tool house, maloon quarters, purchase of gear, etc., which has proved a heavy drain on available cash resources,
