Victoria, B.C., June 201
Don Bradman, the record-breaking Australian cricketer, has taken up bowling. In the match between the Australian tourists under the management of Arthur Mailey, the world's best googly bowler, and British Columbia, Bradman followed up a sparkling innings which realised 94 runs by taking six wickets with succes give balls in an eight-ball over.
His feat, however, was not good enough to give the Australians Victory, for at the close of play British Columbia required 92 runs
tralians scored 303 for 6 dec.; skittled the home side out for 112; to save the innings defeat with three wickets in hand. The Aus-
forced them to follow on and captured 7 wickets for 99 runs.

Three members of the team are paying their own expenses, but the others are guaranteed theirs, and will receive £100 each out of the profits. Any balance is to be handed to the Australian Board and will probably be dis- tributed to charity.

An international affair, which might have had serious consequences, was nearly caused on June 26, by the revolt in Canton, in which Admiral Chan Chak's fleet questioned the authority of the Government. The safety of a British gunboat, H.M.S. Moorhen was endangered, but fortunately she was not hit by six bombs which fell close. Aeroplanes from Canton, which were out looking for the rebel fleet, mistook the Moorhen for one of Admiral Chan Chak's fleet and dropped bombs near her. A full story is published in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
A Canton Customs launch, under the command of Mr. Harrison, a Briton, was fired on by pirates on June 23. A Chinese Customs officer, Chan Wan-chiu was seriously wounded, and was removed to the Canton Hospital. The vessel, through a defect in the engine, became temporarily out of control and drifted near the shore close to Macao Fort. As it drew nearer, a fusilade of rifle-shota broke out from a village, just below the fort. The attack is fully re ported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,

Among the contentions made in a letter to the Colonial Secretary from the Secretary of the Kowloon Residents' Asi sociation, were that the Harbour Pipe Line service was kept in operation for 42 hours longer than was required to effect an equitable distribution and that a serious error of judg ment was shown when too much water was drained off the Main Kowloon Reservoir to the Bywash Reservoir during the drought. The text of the letter is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy, C.B.E., C.C.E. (Director of Public Works) was the guest of honour of the Chinese com- munity on the night of June 23, at a dinner giver in honour of his retirement from the Hong Kong Government. The Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G., LL.D., who presided spoke in eugolistic terms of Mr. Creasy's work and paid 'a tribute to his long and useful career. The function is reported in the OVERLAND CHINATMMAIL.
Reporting at the meeting of the Legislative Council held on June 23, on the Shing. Man Gorge Valley Dam, the Director of Public Works, said that the Dam is estimated to take five years to construct at an inclusive cost of $9,800,000. The meeting is reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Sensational developments have been recorded in the Fung murder case, in connection with which the trial of ' Cheng Kwok-yau, charged with the instigation of the crime in Village Road, is still proceeding at the Central Police Court. During the week, the Police made a surprise swoop, culminating in the arrest of five men, one of whom was a local chauffeur, named Tsul. In Court, Mr. Lindsell, for the Crown, made a statement which related to the planning of the murder by a ring of five motor-drivers. The case is published in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL
Long Tack Sam, the famous Chinese, illusionist, reveal- ed some very interesting reminiscences during an interview on June 25. Starting his career at the age of 13 years, Mr. Long has travelled all over the world, and has been in the show business for 36 years. The interview is given in the OVERLAND CHINA'MAIL.
An outbreak of hooliganism by soldiers of the local garrison engaged the attention of the Police on June 24 and 25. Two privates of the South Wales Borderers, who broke Into the Kowloon Golf Club, where they had a drinking orgy,' finishing 21 bottles of beer, were sentenced in the Kowloon Police Court to prison terms. Five members of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders are in custody pending charges of malicious damage to an Indian jeweller's establishment. The incidents are chronicled in the OVERHAND CHINA MAIL
