M. LEBRUN'S PARTY
(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL")
Paris, To-day.
M. Lebrun gave his traditional Xmas Tree Party for 200 Parisian pri- mary school children in the Elysee Palace. Havas.
to the triangle, I have not been able to ascertain.
In view of the fact that Navy have had to cancel their fixture to-day with Kowloon Cricket Club, I don't see how they can with consistency, turn out a team against Club.
Nevertheless to-day's T.T. match will be played according to schedule and should be
as keen and as interesting as these matches always are.
As customary Club are calling on mem- bers who normally play for other teams, and will have out the strongest side possible. This will include J. E. Richardson, A. E. Perry, D. McLellan, T. V. N. Fortescue (C.S.C.C.) and B. C. Fay (Police).
With batting right through and an attack comprising T. A. and J. L. C. Pearce, A. E. Perry, D. McLellan, B, C. Fay and J. E. Richardson,
well- they are particularly balanced.
Army have also nominated a good side and an excellent day's cricket will probably end in a draw.
Following are the teams:---
CLUB-T. A. Pearce (Capt.), L. T. Ride, J. E. Richardson, A. E. Perry, D. McLellan, R. D. Gillespie, J. L. C. Pearce, T. V. N. Fortescue, D. I. Bosanquet, B. C. Fay, L. D. Kilbee.
ARMY-Capt.
(Captain); C. E. Godby Major W. G. Harvey, Major J. E. Swyer, Capt. J. F. Lawrence; Capt. D. C. E. Grose, Capt. A. B. Whatman, Cpl. Webb, Sgt. Den- Dvr. yer, Cpl. Murphy, Spr. Ratcliffe, Logan.
Two infra-club games will be played to- day in addition to the T.T. match at Hong Kong Cricket Club,
At Cox's Road K.C.C. members will fore- gather over a special "Christmas lunch," while at the Valley Married members of the Craigengower Cricket Club will meet single men.
