COUNCIL MEETINGS

A meeting of the Council of the Hongkong Rifle Association was held on Tuesday.

It was decided that, owing to the Imminence of the forthcoming prize meeting, the annual dinner should be deferred until the end of the year.

It was unanimously decided that the captains, members, and reserves of the inter-colonial icams, taking part in the NRA. overscas match, and the inter-colonial team events at the imperial meeting at Bisley, should be presented with the special gold blazer badger.

TABLE TENNIS- Brilliant Exhibition At King's Theatre

To table tennis enthusiasts nothing would be more suitable than a visit to the King's Theatre to see the Hungarian Luble tennis champions in exhibition. The consistency and ac- curacy with which they and the table, at times picking the ball almost off the floor, is astounding. In the two sets

which were played last night Miklos Szabados beat Estvan Kelen, but the result was negligible in consideration of the brilliant

play:

The table seemed infinitely smali and added to the wonder at the seeming ease with which they direct- ed the celluloid ball to and fro. Szabados gave an exhilarating display

of both defence and attack. Re-

trieving Kelen's flashing drives,

Szabados' return were an object les- Cutting the ball, it appeared to son. slow up in Bight across the table just sufficient to allow him time to ro- trieve the position, which for a mo- ment he had been compelled to de- scrt. Kelen excelled in the cross- court or table drives, and cunningly concealed drop shots,

It appeared somewhat disconcert- ing to the players when the audience applauded while a rally was being fought. Kelen noticeably made er- tore simultaneous with the outbursts.

The conditions, however,

were ideal and they gave their best, and It would require no hesitation to say that they are as great an attrac tion to the Theatre as it has ever had before.

KOWLOON BOWLING

GREEN CLUB Annual Meeting Agrees

To Subscription Rise

Severnl Important matters wore dealt with last night at the annuol meeting of the Kowloon Bowling Green Club, which Insted over two and a half hours. Mr. E. F. Scarle presided and there was a large attendance.

The accounts, which were present- ed by Mr. D. W. Waterton, Treasurer, showed a loss on the year's working of $369.71, after charging $1,282.50 depreciation.

Membership at the end of the year was 230, of which 155 were ordinary members, 65 sco-going members, members and three honorary members.

Boven

The deaths of Messrs. D. Muir,. A. W. E. Davidson, A. Lung and D. L. Campbell, members were mentioned with regret and the meet- ing stood in silence as a tribute.

On a question as to why the pront from the bar was not greater, since the sales had increased, Mr. J. E. Henson explained that the Club received a profit of only seven cents on all drinks and the percentage was likely to vary considerably.

The

report and accounts were

approved.

The following officers were elected. Messrs. E. V.. Searle (President), J. McKelvic (Vice-President), G. E. F. Thompson (Treasurer), J. G. Meyer- (Secretary), T.

W Armstrong, D. Waterton, J. E. Henson, L. Guy, K. C. Hamilton, E. M. Hanlon, A.

G

Hydo Lay, G. M. White (General Com- mittee). L. J. Coombes, F. A. Chees- man, H, F. Stonehum, J. S. Logan, G. R. Lelb, R. P. Phillips (Ballot Sub-Committee).

A proposal by Mr. A. L. Woolley was made to change a by-law to read that sons and unmarried sisters of members, under 18 years of age. should be allowed the use of the tennis courts, members and their wives retaining priority. An amend- ment that the age limit be from 14 to 18 was agreed to by Mr. Woolley and approved.

Mr. S. White moved that the Bowls Convener be elected by the general meeting instead of being appointed by the General Committee, as this would make for more har monious working. The motion was defeated.

Mr. T. Armstrong moved, on behalf of the outgoing Committee, that sea- going members should from July 1
