Also to Dr. Kailash Nath Katju, Advocate, on his election as Chairman, Municipal Board, Allahabad, and to Chandhari Khaliqu-uz-zaman Advocate on his election as Chair-man of the Lucknow Municipality.
It is a matter of pleasure and pride for the Jains, that Mr. Niranjan Prasad Jain, son of Mr. Jagat Prasad, CI.E., and Mr. Virendra Singh Jain, son of Mr. Raghubir Singh and grandson of Rai Bahadur Lala Sultan Singh, have come out successful at the Competitive examination for recruitment of Indian Officers in the Army. They are the first Jains to enter the Army as Officers. They have by their merit secured the 5th and the 7th positions. Our hearty congratulations to them, and to their parents.
We are further pleased to note that the Delhi Jain Sports Club, has won by 8 wickets and 5 runs with a total of 290 runs to their credit the Shambhoo Das Cup at the All-India Cricket Tournament, held at Meerut.
The Club was established in 1932, and the success it has attained in the course of 3 years is a matter of no small credit. Our congratulations to them also. We hope our Jain friends will follow the lead set by Delhi, and attain distinction in manly games.
