SPECIAL COLOURED SUPPLEMENT with PICTURES of all local events

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
and all the NEWS.
The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
All interest in the Colony during the week has been centred on the observance of Armistice Day, which was practically observed as a holiday. The usual solemn cere. mony, preceded by a special service in St. John's Cathedral, was witnessed at the Cenotaph where many hundreds gather- ed for the "Two Minutes' Silence" and the laying of wreaths by His Excellency the Governor and representatives of public bodies.
The usual Armistice Dinner was arranged by the Ex- Service Men's Association and the British Legion of Fron- tiersmen, and was a great success. A full report will be found in the "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.”
Likewise Poppy Day, in aid of the late Earl Haig's Fund was equally successful, the early returns showing an increase over the collections for last year all over the Colony.
Interport cricket has again claimed the attention of sportsmen. After a fine start Malaya went under to Shanghai by one wicket. Hong Kong next put paid to Shanghai's account by 82 runs, and at the time of going to press Hong Kong has secured a good lead on the first innings over Malaya. It has been a week of thrills, in which the glorious uncertainties of the game have been exemplified to the utmost. Full accounts by a special writer are published in this week's “ OVERLAND CHINA MAIL."
Letters to relatives and friends In other parts of the world frequently fail to be written even By the
ardent Most correspondents. It is a kindly thought, therefore, to ensure that these away from the Colony, or folks at Home, should have an unfailing supply of Hong Kong and China news every week-by means of a subscription to the "Overland China Mail"
Without any trouble of packing and worrying about the Post Office on your part, and at a one-and ́erly cost of HK$3.75 for three months, the "Overland China fall" will be sent Homo for you qvery week, outching the mail regularly It contains just the news, features
whatsoever in Hong Kong, and many letters testify to the keen pleasure and interest its weekly arrival brings.
For your folks at Home to re- eciva this weekly budget, or to keep yourself posted with affairs during your absence, all that you have to do is to drop a shit to the “Over- land China Mail."
The word "Overland" is a re- mindor of the experience behind the production, it having been published since the early days of LAND because there was no Sues the Colony, to be sent OVER. Canal, and that was the quickest | route by which to get muil Home. In the march of times the "Over- land China Mall" has become the only weekly news budget which has pictures. It is made fust to
and picture from the daily "China suit requirements, as it has done Mail" that make a studied apponi | all along. What more could be la people soíth 'any Interest' desired!
