EDITED BY
H. G. W. WOODHEAD, 0.B.E.
"A Mentor Superb... It is not an exaggeration to say that the "China Year Book" is one of the most remarkable produc- tions of its kind in the world..
.... No-one who pretends to desire to discuss or study affairs in China can afford to do with- out this book."--North-China Daily News,
The "China Year Book" as it is presented to-day, is a volumo that no newspaper, commercial, government, in fact any oflee can do without."-China Press."
There is no single work containing such a mass of varied and most useful information on things Chinese as the "China Year Book." Similar publications exist in many other countries, but few can compare with, and none excels, the latest issue of this work."--Finance & Commerce.

Abe Mitchell suffered the most surprising defeat of his career at Sundridge Park, Kent, when Henry Cotton, the leader of the genera- tion of young golfers, beat him by the overwhelming margin of seven up and six to play, in a 36-hole match. The occasion, the opening of the club's new second course, was a social function, but match was a trial of strength be tween a golfer who is a redoubt- able match player and inter- who national, and a young man has been anxious to prove that he

only- were the holes not divided. It was similar on the homeward journey, for each player won a hole and the other seven were halved, Mitchell took the lead at the twelfth, where, for the only time in the match, Cotton was bunkered and he held it until he played a wild approach to the home hole and left Catton with a yard putt round a half stymie for a win to equare. Each had gone round in 74.
A Collapse,
Mitchell appeared to collapse at the beginning of the second round. Hia erratic play was startling. He gave Cotton chances, and the young man seized them with both hands, so that what had promised to be a magnificent struggle de- veloped into a procession.
Mit- Ichell looked like a tired man, while his opponent, half his years, be enme greatly confident. Seldom has Mitchell played so badly. Ha never gave his long putts a chance, and time and again the ball atop ped an inch or two from the hole, while Cotton was down in one putt on many greens.
