With more than seventy members and their friends attending, the annual dinner and presentation of the Shanghai Homing Pigeon Club proved an outstanding success on Fri evening, in the Central Club, Peking Road. Nearly fifty prizes were awarded for flights made in 1937, when, in part, the hostilities necessarily hampered the homing pigeon sport. The year as a whole, however, was an interesting and successful one for the club.
The officers for the present year are Mr. C. J. Bull, Honorary President; Mr. J. F. Lovell and Mr. K. L.
Swartzell, Honorary Vice-Presidents; Mr. A. D. Denton, Honorary Secretary; and Mr. H. F. Cranfield, Honorary Treasurer. The General Committee consists of Capt. Angus, Mr. F. Jackson, Mr. W. Dow and Mr. R. Thomson. Other Committees are:—Calculating, Messrs. Swartzell, Lovell, Thomson and Capt. Angus (Loft Allocater); Ringing and Clocking, Messrs. Dow, Thomson and J. A. Isaacs; Race Sub-Committee, Capt. Angus, Messrs. Denton and Dow; and Finance Committee, Messrs. Swart-zoll, Thomson and Denton.
