The Shanghai Lawn Bowls Club

Annual General Meeting

The annual general meeting of the Shanghai Lawn Bowls Club was held on Thursday at 33° Szechuen Road under the chairmanship of Lt.-Col. T. E. Trueman.

Before proposing the adoption of the reports the Chairman asked the members to rise in tribute to the memory of their late President, Sir Everard Fraser, K.c.M.c., Capt. W. H. Lunt, Mr. H. M. Gorton, Mr. David White, Mr. J. C. Mae-dougal, the winner of the Club Championship last year, and winner outright of the Liddell Cup, and lastly Capt. J. P. Lowe, whose death occurred since the report for the past year was put in print. They would all be sadly missed during the coming season, and the deepest sympathy of the club was: felt for their relatives.

In Inter-Club matches during the past season, they lost two—one to the Recreation Club and_ the other to the Yangtszepoo Lawn Bowls Club, both by the narrow margins of 10 and il points, respectively. Against these defeats they could derive no small consolation from the fact that they were successful in regaining possession of the Wallace Cup and won it by the comfortable margin of 22 points above the Recreation Club who finished second.
