The annual general meeting of the Hongkong Chews Club was held at the City Hall on the 16th inst. Mr. H. E. Pollock, K.C. (President of the Club) presided. There was a good attendance of members.

disburse-
Mr. H. E. POLLOCK said that the members had had the report and accounts for some time, and he adopted the usual practice of taking then as read. As regards the balance they had $99.51 in hand after paying all ments, as against $88.51 on the previous year. Therefore they had paid their way since last January, and that was satisfac- tory. He referred to the work performed by the new Hon. Secretary. His Excellency the Governor had kindly consented to become the Patron of the lab. They had been permitted to use the Librarian's Room to hold their meetings, by kind consent of the Secretary of the City Hall Committee, for the nominal rent of $5 per mensam, but in view of the increase in the membership the Committee were seeing if they could make other arrangements. Mr. Weismann (of Cafe Weismann) had promised to place a room at their disposal, but this would not be ready for some little time-six Weeks or so. He took it that they would leave it to the Committee to make the arrangements in this direction which they thought desirable. He thought that with the increase to over thirty members, if there was a big match on, the present premises would be insufficient. The members would also welcome going into premises where they could smoke, and order a cup of coffee etc.. (Laughter and Applause). Mr. Newborn had temporarily left the Colony, and the Hon. Secretaryship had been taken on for the time being by Mr. Swaby. The most important match played last season was for the Club Championship, and Mr, Falloon succeed- ed in beating all his opponents (Applause). Committee thought it would be voicing the There was no cup for this event, but their
members present by getting a prize, which he would present to Mr. Falloon,
Mr, Pollock handed the Champion a case containing a silver cigarette case, a card oase, and match-box, saying "Hearty congratulations."
On the motion of Mr. Pollock, seconded by Mr. H, Noronha the report and accounts were
put to the meeting and passed.
Some slight amendments were then made in the rules of the Club, the committee being reduced from nine to five; three instead of five forming a quorum
The od Committe, consisting of Messrs. H. E. Pollock, K.C., E. J. Moses, M. J. Danenberg and T. Swaby were re-elect d.
A fifth man was required and Mr. J. H. Kemp proposed Mr. C. H. Falloon for the post. This was carried,
Mr. Pollock said that they were very much obliged to the members for re-electing them, and they would continue to try and stimulate interest in the Club. He hoped they would all remember that the Committee would always be glad to receive any suggestions. He thought it would be a good thing to get up an International Match, as they had done some years ago, between Britain, Germany and Portugal Five or seven players of each nationality could represent each side. He thought that other Miss Underwood, Mr. M. Von Uffell.

VICTORIA RECREATION CLUB...
THE PLANS OF NEW CLUB HOUSB- An extraordinary general meeting of mem- bers of the VB.C was held at thị, City Hall on the 16th inst. for the purpose of approving the plans and estimates for the construction of the proposed club house on the new site, Murray Pier Extension, and to authorize the Committee to proceed with the erection of the same, and to incur the necessary expenditure in connection therewith. Mr. A. Chapman (Chairman of the Club) presided, and a number of members were present, in
The plans were as follows:-Facing the water on the western side the inshore end building shows five small windows over five large ones; then an archway at some steps leading to the water, and four large doors opening on to the boat ramp from the boat- house. The Club House is immediately over the boat-house, having six large windows facing the west. The boat room itself is provided with arch-shaped windows, to afford, no doubt, abundance of light. The -ervants' quarters are somewhere about the boat-house, and, immediately abutting it on the in-shore side, is the gymnasium. The Club Room upstairs is divided into dressing room, club room, bar, office and store. The building is of red brick on, a granite base, the roof being tiled.
These plans under discussion did not show the covered-in bath house, which is to be situated on the in-shore side of the gymnasium The Club has not funds enough to build the covered-in baths at present, but it is to be hoped this may be done on a future occasion.
Mr. HAROLD AUSTEN (Hon. Secretary) read, the notice convening the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said the conditions under which the club got the site from the Gavern. ment were similar to other institutions of a like nature. They would have to pay $1 a year rent so long as the licence remained in force.
The Naval authorities had given them notice
that they must quit their present site at Kowloon by the 30th April next. They had a sum of $24,000 in hand, and the erection of
buildings, etc., on the new site were estimated to cost $19,800.
ì
It was moved, seconded, and unanimously carried that the meeting empowers the committee to incur the necessary expenditure for the construction of the club house in accordance with the plans and estimates as submitted.
A FOCIAL CLUB.
A member suggested the advisability of the club's procuring a billiard table. They were à Social Club, and all of the members were not keen on outside sport. A billiard table would prove a source of income.
The matter is to be considered.
A GENEROUS VOTE.
A member stated that the committee of the Hongkong Club had voted a sum not exceeding $150 as a cup for the coming regatts. It is to be raced for by the senior four-cars men.
WHY DEBAKEED?
A member wished to know why owners of yachts, not memb rs of the Royal Hongkong Yacht Club, were debarred this year from entering regattas. There were quite a number of yachtsmen outside who should like to have the privilege.
He was informed that the matter was having attention, and that steps were being taken to have the programme altered so as to allow everybody to enter.
A FASHIONABLE WEDDING,
There was a large gathering of society at St. John's Cathedral on the 16th inst: to witness the marriage of Mr. George Arthur Carruthers Cruickshank, of Messrs Jardine, Matheson and Company, to Miss Maysie Cruickshank, daughter of Surgeon-General Cruickshank, I.M.S. The choir was in full force, and the Church was tastefully decorated with flowers and greenery. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. F. T. Johnson. The bride was dressed in white satin with white lace train, and
looked very pretty.
The four Misses May, Miss Berkeley and Miss Hall were bridesmaids. Two of the Misses May held the bride's train as the wedding party walked up the aisle,
