The annual general meeting of the China Kennel Club was held at No. 17 The Bund at 4.45 p.m. yesterday, with Dr. J. Edgar in the chair. After the accounts had been passed the following officers were elected for the forthcoming year: Dr. J. Edgar, President; Mr. J. E. unter, Honorary Secretary; Mr. R. N. Swann, Honorary Treasurer; and Messrs. C. G. Copley and P. Pfanner, Committee members, It was decided that no dog show would be held this year as it would be too big a risk with the finances at the disposal of the club. A member pointed out that the Comic Dog Show held last year under the auspices of the S. S. P. C. A. had been a big success, but it was explained that a show conducted by the China Kennel Club had to conform with the rules of the London Kennel Club, with which the former organization is affiliated. It was agreed that the China Kennel Club would, however, sponsor any side show that might be f proposed by any group wishing to hold such a show.
In view of the present financial situation it was decided to raise the pedigree registration fees to $5 for members of the China Kennel Club and $10 for non-members. The subscription fees remained unchanged.
