True, the Terrible were the first to get away, but their visit to Hongkong territory resulted in the ball being sent wide of the mark. Clapham got a pass from Noble, who secured the ball from the goal-kick, but although he managed to defeat the forwards and half-back, he got flurried when tackled by Jones, and sent 10 in a wide ball. The game was confirmed to the bluejackets' part of the field, and had only last- 92ed five minutes or so when the ground team

opened the scoring, Tullock, from a pass from Bonnar, netting the ball. The goal was a soft one, decidedly soft and might have been averted bad Chambers not run out to intercept Tullock. He was soon after- wards called upon to save a long shot from home, which he did by conceding a corner that the club failed to convert. Danzie and Clements relieved a rather dangerous pressure and man- œuvred well up-field. Jenkins tackled and captured the ball, which he centred, and from a scrimmage at Chambers' goal Tullock was again successful in sending the leather home.
At half time the score stood-Hongkong, 2; Terrible 0.
The second was not marked by any difference in play. Hongkong still continued to press, and Woodgates, so far as work was concerned, Twice had the bluejackots to concede a corner hád as easy a time of it as the spectators.
