very poor, namely, 33.3/5 seconds for the last quarter.

Fourteen Clubs are thus now sfilated to the Association (as com- pared with ten in 1930), with

LIN

approximate membership exceeding

77,500.

Owing to the despatch of the 2nd. Bn. The Royal Welch Fusillers and the 1st. Bn. The Royal Ulster Rifles to Shanghal, and the absence of ships of the China Fleet from Hongkong, it has not been possible to hold the second annual dinner in 1937. It is hoped, however, that this function, the first of which was extremely popular, will take place during March, 1938.
