with the R.A.S.C. on January 3 last. The R.A.S.C. captain (Mr. E. V. Marshall) filed a protest and the matter WAR discussed last night.
It was stated that the player in question had played for the St. Andrew's Club in the first two matches of the tournament, and then the C.B.A. and had thus con- travened rule 7 which states:- "A list of players forming a team to be sent in to the Secretary. Players can only play for the one team represented. A breach of (this rule would mean disqualifica- tion of the team for which he playa."
After much discussion on the ambiguity of the rule, It was de- cided, on the proposition of Mr. H. R. Hurst, seconded by Mr. F. W. R. Allen, that the C.B.A. forfeit 2 points to the R.A.S.C.
Mr. Marshall remarked thất” he had written the protest not for the of securing two points, purpose but as a matter of principal.
It was decided that the goals scored in the match be nullifed, and this was agreed upon, it be ing stated that the goal average made no difference in regard to the position of the competing teams in the tournament.

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
A distrous fre, the first tragedy of the year in that category, broke out in a cotton quilt shop in Shanghai Street, Kowloon on the night of January 9, claiming four victims, a woman and her three children. Beginning on the ground floor of the building, the conflagration rapidly spread to the upper floors, completely destroying wooden staircases, thus cutting off the occupants' only means of escape. After the fire had been extinguished three Chinese firemen were placed under arrest for alleged looting. A full story of the tragedy is chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

A Coroner's enquiry into the death of Revenue Officer Nicholas James Young, who was found lying dead on the hillside near the Lai Chi Kok Jail on November 4, 1931, was conducted by Mr. J. A. Fraser in the Kowloon Magistracy on. January 11. The widow, Mrs. Young, in a dramatie testimony, denied that matrimonial troubles were entirely responsible for the tragedy, and referred, in an outburst, to the Revenue Department. A few days before his death, deceased had not been living with her at their flat. She had no reason to think that he would commit suicide;' in fact he used to scorn It. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL furnishes a detailed report.
