Both Associations were very anxious that these games be resumed and at a meeting of Hong Kong Football Asso- ciation in August, Shanghai were written to and informed that Hong Kong would be able to send a team North in November if Shanghai could accommodate the Colony team then.

The Eastern team were without Lee Tak-kee, who injured himself in a recent game, but his place was ably filled by Cheung Kam-hol who played a hard game and was in great shoot ing form. He scored four goals, each a good one.

It's the mellowness of BOOTH'S Dry Gin that makes it so much to be desired in cocktails. Such mellowness comes only from treble distillation and maturing in sherry casks and BOOTH'S DRY is the only GIN which receives such care in its mak- ing. It is not to be wondered at that the lat prize Cocktail in the Inter- national Cocktail Competition was made with Booth's Dry."
