In connection with the mushroom growth of “shooting galleries" in the Colony, where pop-guns are used to "fire" at cigarettes, an interesting test case is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. The Magistrate ruled that these guns must be 'classed as weapons, after the Police had raised strong objections to the "galleries" in the face of ..an ingenious defence.
The ceremony of opening the Colony's newest hospital, the War Memorial Hospital at Mount Kellet, with a striking speech by Mrs. W. T. Southorn, is an outstanding feature of the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,
An eloquent tribute to the growing "international spirit of sport" in the Colony was made by the Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G., LL.D., at the annual dinner of the Hong Kong Football Club. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL carries the only complete report of the gathering.
Cases of opium smuggling continue to absorb much of the Magistrates' time and attention. An original method of bringing in the contraband, which was contained inside pres ved ducks" eggs, elicited some strong comment from the Bench on the insatisfactory evidence of a Chinese Revenue Officer. The case is reported in its entirety in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,
An important Meteorological Conference, which was opened in Hong Kong by His Excellency the Officer Adminis- tering the Government, aims at obtaining a uniformity in the methods of issuing storm warnings in the Far East. His Excellency's speech, which emphasised the vital import- ance of the work of the Conference, is reproduced in the OVERLAND CHINA'MAIL,
An interesting case in which the Government was awarded compensation for damage done to a pier by floating logs in an adjacent timber yard during a typhoon last year, is also reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,
As regards China, fierce fighting has at last broken out in the North. Chunhsien, on the Northern border of Hupeh, which was captured by Kuominchun troops a few weeks ago, has been recaptured by Nationalist forces. -reported that Feng Yu-halang has changed his plans, and is It is now considering a big drive on Shantung. Full dispatches are given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,
Another brutal outrage by "Reds" in Hupeh, at a small place named Sietaochen, is reported. Two Irish Catholic fathers were murdered, although details are of the scantiest.
Sport, both local and Home, is ably dealt with by the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL staff of experis, special reports being given of the exhibition tennis matches in which Francisco Aragon and Gordon Lum, champions of the Philippines and Shanghai, respectively, are participating, together with local cracks. A special account of the Services v. Rest Charity football match, for the benefit of the depen- dants of the Sepoy victims, is also included.
