Mr. C. M. Bain was chairman for the day, and, tiffin being over, he called upon Mr. Wang to address the assembly, remarking at the time that Mr. Wang had specially requested that his address should not be treated as one for publication.
Mr. Wang gave a most intensely interesting account of his experiences in Peace Conference circles. He also dwelt at some length upon the general need for the development of China and the desirability of further ce-operation with American and Western European brains and capital.
A Coutecron's Experiences, Mr. Andrews recounted with a keen sense of humour some of his adventures and impressions in Mongolia while on a collecting expedition for the Smithsonian Institution. He spoke of the itumense possibilities which Mongolia offered to the stock trader. Although there were in Mongolia at present enormous herds of cattle and sheep, the country, with proper development, was capable of supporting a very great many more than there were already. The methods of the Mongolian farmers were also very primitive. In the collection of wool, for example, Mr. Andrews informed his hearers that the Mongolian did not shear his sheep, but only collected the wool which had fallen or become entangled in the grasses. In consequence of this the wool when sold contained from 25 to 40 per cent. gravel which had to be paid for in freight rates.

Mr. Andrews also gave a very vivid account of hunting antelope by motor car. He said that he had himself proved that an antelope was capable of running for a very long time at a speed of 60 miles per hour. He had ridden down two horses in chasing a two days' old antelope and even at that his quarry had escaped him.
