This, Shanghai K.C.E. | however, will not interfere with the present arrangements, but should the formation of the "B" section of the Junior Division be- come an accomplished fact, then not only will more grounde be re- quired for the Saturday games, but it will be essential for some of the new section games to be plaved in mid-week.

The opening head was of the -order sensational. Playing to a full head all the visitors were there * thereabouts in the proximity of the jack and were lying three before the respective skips came into the picture. Then Main trailed the jack and lay five. which Gibson was unable to dia- turb. In the second head McLeod and Pratt each Jay; Main put in blockers; and," ' Gibson's woods making no difference, other two points were eredited to visitors. From this point to the tenth head Shanghai could do nothing wrong, taking the "score up to 16-2.
