Ovn Canton correspondent writes on September 6 When Sir Henry May was expected to return to Hongkong the Directors of the English branch of the Y.M.C.A. decided to ask him to resume his old position s the President of the Board of Directors, this he has consented to do. He has now shown that his assumption of this position is no mero name. Recently, the Seoretary of the Y.M.C.A. opened a branch of the Association on Long Island, an island about ten miles from Hongkong, where there is a week-end resort. Two days ago the Governor and Lady May with some of their friends, paid a visit to the new holiday resort, and after inspecting it, and partaking of tea and refreshments, " business mooting was held over which Sir Henry May presided. It may be assumed that Sir Henry will be a tower of strength to the institution, for in the old days before he left Hongkong, he did s great deal for the Y.M.C.A. in many ways, and not least in assisting in the financial arrangements.
