Suggested Changes Considerable spade work has already been done, and I have been privileged to see proposed alterations which in the main are satisfactory. They should ensure smooth running of management in the Colony, the big changes this year being brielly:

A Strenuous Season The season is going to be a atrenuous one, and perhaps a dif- ficult one, more or less, owing to the mixed nature of the football.

Mr. Horace Lo appeared on dils behalf and after laying the facts of
the case before his Lordship, asked for judgment to be given to his client.
His Lordship, however, decided otherwise. He entered judgment for the defendant, saying that when: the partnership was dissolved, both parties must have known that Mrs. Normington had to be compensated by somebody. It was therefore

The Handbook
The Association has grown into a very important body controlling sport which in the winter months is keenly participated in by many thousands of followers. In the main, with one or two notable ex- ceptions the rules of the handbook will be largely adhered to, with improvements. The Handbook,! however, is open to much im- provement. It could easily contain lists of all Clubs' playing venues, Clubs' colours, Secretaries'
