FOOTBALL.
H.K.F.C. v. SHERWOOD FORESTERS.
The opening mitch of the Hongkong Football Club season was played at Happy Valley on Saturday afternoon, in 881sonable weather, between the Club and the Sherwood Foresters. In view of the hard practice put in by the regimental team, and the comparative weakness of the Club eleven, the latter were not generally fancied for a win, and they were very fortunate indeed in finishing the game on level terms with their opponents. The teams lined up as follows:-
H.K.F.C.-F. K. Kew; H. C. Austen, E. F. Aucott; G. B. Macdonald, C. T. Kew, H. C. Gray; H. A. Brent, R. A. Whittamore, W. H. Williams, J. W. C. Bonnar, and E. J. Davies. 8. F.-T. Madin; Walker, Ryan; O'Donnell, Watson, Wilkins; Madin, Godber, Cope, Collingham and Walsh,
Referee- Mr. F. Hrowne. Linesmen-Sergeant Jones and Corporal Raynor, S.F.
The Foresters won the toss and elected to play towards the east goal, with the sun in their opponents' eyes. The Club forwards were the first to press, with abortive results, though a shot by Bonnar necessitated the S.F. goal- keeper using his hands. Play was rapidly carried to the other and of the field, Madin and Godber taking the ball up the line. oleared, bat the Foresters' right wing returned to the attack time after time, being fed

THE HONGKONG WEEKLY PRESS AND nicely by their half-back O'Donnell, who was playing a splendid game, both in regard to feeding his inen and stopping the rushes of the Hongkong left, As the game got older the ball travelled fast from one and to the olher, neither side having the advantage Collingham and Cope bath had tries at the Club goal, but these were easily turned by F. H. Kow. On the HK. side Banuar was the most dangerons | forward. Whittamore also gave the 8.F. defence some trouble, bat neither could scu e. Half-time arrived with the score standing-- H.K F.C., 0; S.F., 0.
On the resumption of play the Sherwood Foresters at once commenced to press and made an attack on the Club g al which was only repulsed by the excellent defence of the back division combined with the worrying tactics of C. T. Kew, the contro-half. The clab forwards followed with one or two breaks-away which the strong back play of Ryan and Walker rendered ineffectual. Bonnar got within shooting distance twice but failed to score, From this stage onward play resolved itself iuto a voritable siege of the Club goal by the Foresters. The H.K. forwards as a whole seemed to have come to the end of their tether and to have hardly a kick left in them. Again and again the Derbyshires returned to the attack, but they were always repulsed, thanks mostly to the fine goal-keeping of F. K. Kew. He fisted and kicked out in grand stye. Every single forward of the Foresters had a try-some of them more than one---it goal, but get the ball into the net they could not. Hoaded by Bounar the Club wings got away on the run once or twice, but they were always pulled up and play transferred to their own end. When time was called the Club goal was still under close attack, and they may consider themselves very lucky that the game ended as it did, in a draw-
· H.K.F.C., 0; S.F.. 0.
H.K.F.C. **A TEAM V. NAVAL YARD. The game on the Football Ground on the 2nd inst., between the Club "A" team and the Naval Yard Xt, was of a very scrambling nature, and ended in a draw, neither side scoring. The Clab turned up two short, and though they were able to enlist the services of Gidley iù goal, they had to play with only four forwards throughout. The Naval Yard did most of the pressing in both halves of the game, and a uumber of corners fell to them. The Club defence was, howevor, equal to the occasion. though once or twice nearly pierced. It cannot be said that anyone distinguished himself mach, Kew being best and Caulfield perhaps next for the Club, while the Naval Yard right back put in some good kicking. If the Club had put eleven meu in the field they should
how won.

The s.8. Kurdistan, which arrived here from Amoy on Sunday, experienced very bad weather in the Formosa Chaunel. Captain Haig was obliged to jettison fifty cases of nitric and sulphuric acid. This dangerous cirgo was stowed on deck for safety, but, as the vessel was labouring heavily, and as there was danger of the cases getting adrift, the measure was deemed necessary.
Of Single Island the Kurdistan | sighted a mast, probably of a sunken vessel, just showing above the water.

The laying of the electric tramway lines are Dow well in hand, being about half completed, and another six months ought to so the finishing touches. Car-shed and our house buildings are uearly finished-in fact all remaining to be done in the car-shed is the laying of the lines. The engine-room is ready to receive the machinery; the chimney-stack is half-built (its height when finished will be 175ft); the machinery is on its way out; the cars are expected about the end of the year; and the wiring will be proceeded with shortly. On many parts of the route telephone wires have been raised or moved to on side so as to avoid contact with the trollies. It is
hoped that in six months the cars will be running.

Another Chinese-owned twin-screw steel river steamer is nearing completion at the ship- building yard of Messrs. Bailey & Co., Kowloon

a duplicate of the On 8.8. Kwong Chow, now plying between Hongkong and Canton; and it would not be surprising to learn that she is intended to run on alternate days with that vessel. In fact, although she is not being built for the same company as the Kwong Chow, but for the Yuen On 8. 8. Co., Ld., it is understood that many of the shareholders in the Shin On are also interested in her. She is a vessal of some 1,400 tons; measuring 200ft. in length has a capacity for 1,200 passengers, in fitted with a first class electric plant, and is expected to steam eleven knots. She is to be christened the Hongkong. Her launching ought to taks place in January. Besides being occupied with also other minor work, Messrs Bailey & Co, are building two tugboats.
