The Club could not do anything against a atrong Navy pack on Saturday and were soundly beaten to the tune of 20 points to nil. The Club had the ddvant- aga in

The Sailors were let in more than once by the Club backs' mietake and each time the attackers turned it to their advantage.
The Club forwarde played

INTERPORT RUG BY
DISAPPOINTMENTS FOR SHANGHAI
The last few days have brought sad tidings to all followers of local Rugby football, says the N.-G. Daily News. A letter was received from Hongkong stating their inability to raise a side to visit us at China New Year, and this was immediate- ly followed by a telegram from Hankow to the same effect. In the cuse of Hankow, a counter invita- tion has been extended to Shanghai to send a side to Hahlow, but in view of the expense to be faced in sending a side to fulfil our fixture against Tientsin, at that port dur. ing the Easter holidays, it is doubt. ful whether a representative side can be sent to Hankow. The mut ter is at present under consideration and a definite, statement will be made in the course of the next fet days.

It would appear that Shanghai is particularly unfortunate in the matter of Home interport matcher, as we have had no visiting side here since the South Wales Borderers from Tiantain in the spring of 1914, although repented invitations have been issued to Hongkong, Japan, Hankow and Tionisin. There is just a possibility that Hongkong may send up a Services side later! in the season but this at presont is on the knees of the gods.

CANTON, February Strenuous efforts are still being made to secure. General Ngai Bong- ping's release but he is still in cap. tivity. It now appears that the object is to keep him under restraint ns long as possible just to prevent him re-entering the political arena. There is nothing of importance to report regarding Canton. If everything continues as it present the feeling of uneasiness will wear off, the people resigning themselver to rule by any faction provided they are not interfered with.
A clash between a detachment of. Kwangsi- troops belonging to Gan. eral Shum Hung-ving's command and some other wangai troops under the pro-Sun leader Igu Teun- wan, who bas fraternised with some of the natives, ended, in hum's adherents being routed. Lau moy- ed his body of soldiers to the East River after the coup against Ngai to keep out of the way, Appar- ently, Shu's troops also wanted control of the arca which is about the half-way stage of the Kowloon-
Canton-Railway. No netion on any wale was fought but a number of skirmishes took place covering a considerable, period. It is feared that the trouble will spread to other parts. especially Sheklung, one of the richest prizes.
