Surprise Results In

Women's Championship

COTTON CONTINUES TO COLLECT FOR WAR FUND

(By "Birdio")

THE ANNUAL MATCH between the Prosi- dent's and Captain's teams at the Country Club, which was to have been held this Sunday, has been postponed to a later date, probably during the Chinese New Year holidays. Singles will be played in the morning, and foursomes in the afternoon. There is usually a headache attached to this game, as it is followed by a dinner for which the losing side pays. Entries are post en- trics, and the teams will be divided as ovenly as possible as far as handicaps are concerned.

Surprising 'developments in the women's champion- ship have been the eliminations of Miss Sequeira and Mrs. Remedios by Miss L. G. Ablong and Mrs. A. J. Kew.rc- spectively. The latter two, who are the finalists, are also

FANLING HUNT FINANCES

Successful Year For The Race Club

ATTENDANCE RECORD

LAST SEASON was one of the most successful in the history of the Club and, so far as the race course' is concerned, the recent meeting we bad on Boxing Day at Kwanti was also probably a record. At our fast meeting we were not expecting the very large number of people who at the pro and consequently parations were not what they might have been for such a large number. However, since that last meeting one two improvements have been accommodation made and further provided, and I trust even it on Sunday next we have anything Ukej the number of people who attended last time, they will not be lacon- ventenced by overcrowding.
