Needless to say, the 34 rea- sons are entirely feminine. There were blondes, brunet- tes and red-heads. There ! were plump girls, thin girls and Venuses. Taken all in all, they are undoubtedly the most charming party ever to visit Hongkong.

The 34 exponents of the Aus- tralian boast that it produces the healthiest and most beautiful girls in the world' are members of the Young Australia League, an organisation which has for its objects the education, of Young Australia by travel, slogan which implies that actunl- ly seeing countries and meeting people adds to the storehouse of : general knowledge.

Every girl in the party is over 10 years of age, and none are over 21. They come from every state in the Commonwealth, those from New South Walch!

EASTER "BISLEY MEET": INTERPORT THIS YEAR

IMPORTANT develop

ments are taking place in Hongkong's rifle shooting activities.

The new Hongkong 'Rifle Association, already with an active full membership of 118, and an associate mem- bership exceeding 1,000, is rapidly expanding under the direction of an energetic committee.

Pians have already beer com- plated for an Interport Meet between Hongkong, Shanghai and Singapore, and, in addition, Hongkong will have its own Bisley Meeting next Easter."

The prize list for the six-day meeting that will be held during Easter Week already exceeds $2,000-aḥ amount which, large as it is, will be considerably augmented before the meeting takes place.

The first portion of the Easter meeting will be devoted to a United Services competition, at

Then will come the local Biskey meeting, lasting four days. At this meeting, the United Services, Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps, Police, Legion of Frontiersmen and | members of the Hongkong Rifle

Association will participate.

It is hoped that the Interport meeting between Hongkong. Singapore and Shanghai will take place in November or December. The Council of the Hongkong Rifle Association hus written to Shanghai and Singa- porc, recommending, in this connection, that in future Inter- port events should be restricted to British subjects, firing with SMLE or P-1914 rifles.

Free Rifle Issue

It is understood from an authoritative source that the future of the Hongkong Rifle Association has been brigh- tened considerably by a recent decision of the Army authori- ties to issue a new 1914 type service rifle to any members of the Army who wish to serious. ly take up competitive shoot- ing.
