A football match under Rugby rules was played in Happy Valley on the 17th inst. between the H.K.F.C. and H. M.S. Glory. Each side scored a try in the first half, which was very hotly contested. On changing ends, the Glory added another try to their score, and as the Club's attempts to draw level were unavail- ing up to the last few minutes of the game it looked as though they were to suffer defeat. But just on time a splendid try was gained which McMurtrie converted into a goal, thus winning the match for the Club. The Glory tries fell to the credit of Cornaby and Turle; those for the Club to Clark and Hallifax.

The best combined run of the game by the players. the Naval forwards deserved a goal; but Cornaby, who was entrusted with the final kick, shot weakly past. Macquire, though knocked over, very pluckily stuck to the ball, and with a neat tip sent over Russell's head. He was
not supported, however, and his hard work was wasted. Twice in succession Macguire had tries, but Kew was in very good form. On the next occasion they had better luck, and from a well judged pass from M'Donald, Laycock scored the equaliser with a hard ground shot. The effort was deservedly applauded. Succeeding play was equal, and not very interesti. Russell stopped a good combined run of the Naval forwards, and shortly after, being hard pressed by Macguire, kicked into touch. The Navy were pressing with great vigour and were value for anone goal lead. Just on the call of time M/Donald for the Navy scored with a beauty, and full time arrived immediately after with the score stand- ing:
Navy, two; Hongkong F.C., one goal.

In second half the Club showed up better, Edwards and Wolff plying well in the forward line. The Club, however, were very weak in front of goal, and could not manage to score. thanks chiefly to the strong back play of Hay, who was in good form, and an excellent save by Arm- strong.

Dr. J. M. SWAN submitted annual reports.

In the Hospital account he income was $12 743.30, and the expenditure $12,690.06, including $3,95) as the cost of new property, over and above the current expense. From the surgeon's report it appeared that the work of the Hospital had been markedly appreciated by the Chinese in the form of cordial expressions of goodwill and financial aid.

Play was very scraggy, neither side being brilliant as regards com- bined movement. The Naval men put in a spell of pressing, which ended in the ball being sant past. From the bye-kiok, the Club rushed to the other end, and secured a corner, which Lee placed at the back of the goal. The Navy were next dangerous, and the ball bounced about in dangerous proximity to the goal. Jenkins with a smart run aud kick cleared. Offside robbed Macguire of a good chance; his shot, however, went into Kew's hands, Russell was proving himself one too many for the Naval left wing, who were sticking pluckily to their work. Lee spoiled a good run by a weak shot wide of the goal. Franklin was playing very well to Macguire, and the two gained a lot of ground. The referee was keeping a sharp look-out for rough play, and he penalised Russel for a very doubtful infringement.
Another foul, this time in favour of the Club, was not of much advantage to them. A laugh was caused through Boyle dallying with the ball, and being neatly robbed by Danby. Kew saved a splendid shot from Cornaby, and Macguire with an overhead kick again sent in Korushed out, upsetting Jenkins,
A curions report comes from Seoul as to a French loan to China. A Frenchman arrived there last month, and consulted secretly on some matter with Li Yo-yok. The Frenchman declares himself that he is the representative of the Corean Company established at Paris which bought the right of the Yunnan Syndicate for the contract for the loan, and that he has the money ready to hand over on the security
of the Customs revenue. Li Yo-yok and his friends are said to be inclined to accept the offer, but the British and Japanese Ministers are strongly opposed. Mr. Hagiwara, the Japanese chargé d'affaires, has applied for an audience with the Emperor, declaring that he had an urgent matter to report to him.

The debt of $3,850, increased by the purchase of property in 1990, had been cleared off, $2,850 having been paid in as special subscriptions for this object. The property in question had been improved in many ways; a sub- stantial three-story buil.ing now standing on the Eastern portion, and kitchens, store- servants' quarters occupying rooms, and the remainder of the new premises. This completes the scheme by which all kitchens, assistants and servants' quarters are eliminated from the main block of buildings in the men's department.
