Cat in the second placing to Persian Republican Handicap at the February meeting, but if Eagle is again ridden by Mr. P. Y. T. Wei, a close fight may be expected.
National Triumph (Mr. A. W. Ray. mond) should not be overlooked, as it is quite capable of creating an upset.
RACE NO. 3: THE KËNNETT HANDICAP: SIX FURLONGS This event is also confined to sub- scriptoin griffins of the Macao Jockey Club. At the previous meeting, Hog- manay won the Governor's Cup over one mile, and on that account it has been penalised by 14 lbs., but as it finished many lengths in front of Vic- tory Life, I think it will do the trick again.
Fairy Auk was unplaced at the last meeting, but, judging by its past per- formances, and under the control of Mr. A. W. Raymond, I expect that it will have something to say in the finish, I nominate Hogmanay to win, with Fairy .Auk second and Merry Maker third.

for the annual Billiards Champion- ships, it is possible to gain a more ac- curate picture of what is likely to hap-
pen.
Royal Engineers remain favourites for the Garrison League as they have only entered one team and will be able to concentrate the cream of their play- ers in that side. In the Garrison Chal- lenge Cup and Soldiers' Club Tourna- ment they have entered one side from 22nd Company and one from 40th Com- pany.
The entries for the Individual Bril- liards and Snooker championships are too numerous to deal with individually but some of the old hands have again
entered.
L/C. Bergin of the Scots has enter- ed only for the Billiards Champion-
ship. He may not get so far this year as last. I thought he was rather for- tunate to reach the final last season, he had an easy passage through the earlier rounds, and when he eventual- ly appeared in the last round, proved no match for Cpl. Thomas, R, E, IMPERTURBABLE THOMAS.

The Scots are going to be extremely hard hit by departures for home before the commencement of next football sea- son. Although some of them may pos-

and matches, it is expected that Hossack, Naysmith, MacDonald, Brown Clark of the first team will be absen- tees. Five payers lost in one season is a big handicap to any side and un- less there is some more material in this season's drafts Scots are likely to be hard pressed. Several members of the Junior sides will also be leaving, including Keane, Kane, Gilroy, Mac- Dougal, Fraser and Crawford.
"I do not want to be rude, but Eng- lish international football this season has been only another name for "Eng- lish forward play." In all three matches, H. B. Toft, D. E. Teden, R. M. Marshall, T. F. Huskisson, and the rest of them had to bear, practically the whole burden. How they did it will not be soon forgotten, and in the Welsh and Scottish matches, they had their reward. But this poor back play is all frightfully disconcerting, as it has been for a few seasons now. It is grossly unfair, I think, to blame the selectors. It is all very well to say now that "A" or "B" would have done.. better than those who took their places. But what evidence was there that they would even probably have done so? Non, in my opinion. We Just have not got the backs; there's an end of it- D. R. Guent,
