At Happy Valley on the 13th inst, H M.S. Ar- gonaut played"G" Co. Sherwood Foresters, in the first round for the Hongkong Association Football Shield. The Fore ters had been generous enough not to claim the tie as they might have don, for the Argonaut only strived here after the date had passed by which the first round must be played off. Their sportsmanlike behaviour in so doing did not meet with reqnital, for the naval team beat them in a good game by two goals to ouo.
The AC, have-scratched to the R.E. owing to the illness of several members of the team. These teams drew twice in the first round,
On the 19th iust. the Royal Engineers played "B" Co,, Sherwood Foresters, in the second round of the Shield competition. The Foresters showed vastly improved form and after a game in which both sides got pretty hard knocks the Eaginers retired defeated by three goals to none. The R. E. were outplayed at all points.

At a very good start Colleen and Bonito were first over the line with the other boats a few seconds behind and to leeward. Min and Kathleen overtook Bonito near the Cust Rocks by keeping out into the tide, but Min lost her position by making an unnecessarily long ta k to clear the point. Bonito also had to make a tack to clear the point and was overtaken by Erica, who had kept on after the start into the| centre of the harbour before making for the point. On the reach to Kowloon rock Kathleen was passed by Erica and Bonito and shortly afterwards by Min on the beat to Channel Rocks. Erica obtained the inside berth at Kowleon Rock and got ahead of Bon to. There was no fa ther change at the Channel Rocks, although at one time it appeared that Colleen would gain considerably by keeping to the Northward. Running to Mayer's Buoy Erica and Bonito passed Colleen, but Bonito dropped mark at the first gybe. The order was unchanged to fourth place throngh failing to round the
