of the yenяon.
Well done "Civilians" for your victory over the "Chinese" in the Lai Wah Cup Match was a triumph Faith in the "Chinese" just fell short of reallsa tion, the consensus of opinion being that the narrow margin of one goal was the likely verdict in their favour upon the conclusion of play on the Club Ground.
Segts won. It is true, but for a team with double figure honours for one match this season their poor effort over the lowly Ewo is convincing proof of their failing form..

Excitement at Zenith Having tasted success it was plain to see that the "Chinese" were determined to get on terms, Wong Pak-chong rounding off by a good shot.

R.A. v. Somersets
A very interesting game was seen on the Kowloon Ground, the R.A. meeting the Somersets there in a Senior League fixture. With the first half blank, due to sound de fences, there was little to choose between the elevens. After the five minutes' rest the Gunners were un lucky not to have been Cawley saving in the nick of time from the goal-line. This was fol lowed by good work by the "Sets" left wing, Guest making a splendid drive out of Fletcher's reach. Butcher had been well in the pic

The London "Morning Post" of October 16, contains the following bridge, G. G. Edwards, son of Mr. about a Hong Kong boy at Cam-
E. J. Edwards, head master of the Wanchai English School.
"The form shown in the Fresh- man's trial to-day was most encour- aging, the sides being well matched and the game being maintained at. a smart pace. The shooting of some of the inside forwards. might have had better direction at times, and occasionally more power was needed; but as a whole it gave a good test to the goal-keepers, of whom G. G. Edwards, from Hong Kong. soon estabished himself in favour.
"Wall over six feet in height and sturdily build, Edwards dealt with a number of shots, particularly ja the
second half, and undoubtedly saved his side from defeat. An- other success was W. H. Webster (Highgate), a tall, epeedy outside left wing forward, who controlled the ball well and centred accurately. A little more effective support from his inside players in front of goal might have led up to a bigger score. In the pivotal poaltion of centre half-back both A. L. Stock (Charter. house) and G.A.R. Green (Shewa- bury) get through a lot of sound work and were constantly attracting attention.
