Saturday to competitive sports owing to the incidence of the Autumn Race Meeting, rugger will only be played on Sunday this week-end, three games being scheduled, At 215 pin. a Club XV will clash with the Area Details and the team selected for the Club should have little difficulty in overcoming its opponents when it is considered that practically the same side easily accounted for the Police a fortnight ago whilst the latter were only able to hold the soldiers to a draw last Saturday.
The most interesting game will undoubtedly be that between the Club Probables and the Club Possible which is due to begin at 3 pin. This match is in the nature of a trial to select the Ist XV and whilst the two sides are fairly evenly matched the Probables look more powerful on paper in the pack. With such stalwarts as Kennedy, Reynolds, Bradford and Mayne in the forward line, the Probables should be able to secure the ball more often than not, but Richmond and Monnot, to mention but two of the Possibles, are very good foragers- and may cause a surprise. There appears to be but little between the backs but the speed of Martin, Aucott and Hutchison and the deft handling of St, Louis in getting the ball away from the scrum may turn the day in favour of the Probables:
In a third event to start at 3.15 p.m. the Police will meet a Combined Club and Seaforths' side, The Club have a large number of playing members this season and this match Marches on Bishop Ward Tells of Country Today; Sixty Guests at Y.M.C.A.
Bishop Ralph A. Ward of Chengtu, Mr. S. F. Mack, director of Young Peoples' Work of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, and Mr. Peter K. Emmons, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, a member of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church,.all of whom are to attend the World Conference of Missions at Madras, India, were the special guests at a luncheon on Tuesday held at the Foreign Y.M.C.A. The luncheon was attended by over sixty guests and Dr. J. C. MeCracken, vice-president of the association presided.
During the luncheon an address was given by Bishop Ward on "New Conditions in West China" in which he stated that there were many facts in West China which had much meaning for China itself and for others. One of the most important of those facts were the recent coming of people of ability and national spirit and the coming of capital to China's great west.
"Every one at all posted about China long has known that it was a vast nation within a nation.' The Chinese, in their major leadership, turn back quite essentially to their distant history and thoughtful Chinese today vividly recall that Szechuen province has played an important part in continuing the racial fortunes of the Chinese during other centuries and that it even has vied with Wuhan as the place where the Revolution of 1912 was started," continued Bishop Mrs. Augusta A. Hamamdjian St Pierres Church on Avenue Dubail was filled to overflowing on Tuesday afternoon when funeral services were held for the late Mrs Augusta A. Hamamdjian. The deceased died last Sunday morning at the Radium Institute at the age of twenty-one years and she is survived by her husband, Edouard A. Hamamd jan, and a sister, Mrs. Haig Assadourian. The Reverend Father Poisset, said the Blessing accompanied by the St. Peter's choir. As the cetin was carried into the church Mr. Berchatsky, the deceased's music teacher, rendered a violin solo, "Funeral March" by Chopin, to the accompaniment of the organ. Following the Blessing there was another violin selection, "Ave Verum" by Mozart, after which the coffin was placed in the motor hearse while "Adagio" by Chorelli was being played. The cortege proceeded to the Lokawei Cemetery where interment took place. A final address and farewell was delivered by Bishop Ghozarian of the Armenian Orthodox Church for the Far East. A heart of lavender and white sweet peas from "Edouard" was lowered on the beautiful silver metallic coffin into the grave. The pallbearers were Messrs. Teodoro Jauregui, Leon Assadourian, Juan Jauregui, Oscar Benz, Alfonso Maruiaro and J. S. Llado.
