The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
Our business department reports this week that there is simply a spate of fresh orders for the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, a fact that speaks volumes for this popular journal- the only weekly paper with a coloured pictorial supplement, for which no extra charge is made.
The contents of this week's Overland China Mail give every promise of the already brisk demand being exceed. ed-it would be well, therefore, to place your order now in order to avoid disappointment.
Full reports are given of the interport golf match, which Hong Kong won in convincing manner. The Football Asso. ciation has had a lively meeting in regard to the question of control of the game. The usual week-end cricket is given due prominence, which may be said of the other sports fixtures.
In the legal world interest has centred on the decision, in what is known as the "Diamonds Case" which concerns a claim against a Bank for a parcel of diamonds, lost in the Bank. The judgment of the Chief Justice is a most interest- ing one. At the Magistracy the trial has begun of so-called pirates' agents, who are arraigned on charges connected with alleged negotiations for the ransom of one of the victims of Dell Maru piracy.
The report has been published of the Star Ferry Com- pany, whilst the annual meeting has been held of the Land Investment and Agency Co. — all will be found in the Overland China Mail.
