POLO.
SCOTLAND V. IRELAND.
Contrary to expectations the polo match at Causeway Bay on Wednesday between the above teams proved a very one-sided affair; however, a fast game ensued.
First chukker. From the throw-in Ross got away and scored a subsidiary goal. After the hit-out, give and take play took place in the Irish ground, His Excellency relieving time and again with well-placed shots. The Irish defence being stubborn and the Scotch attack persistent, no more scoring took place till four minutes had gone, when Simpson scored a beautiful goal with a long shot for Scotland. From the throw-in Carleton made a brilliant run down and scored a subsidiary goal, being well supported by his No. 1 riding off the opposing back. This ended the first chukker.
Second chukker.-From the hit out Ross went down and scored a goal. Practically the whole of this chukker was played in the Irish ground, their defence completely breaking down under the Scotch attack. The latter played well together and marked their opposite mem- bers perfectly. The game ended in an easy win for Scotland by 4 goals and 3 subsidiaries to 2 subsidiaries, Teams:-
Scotland: Mr. F. H. Lyon, R.N. (4) Mr. C. H. Ross (3), Lt. Simpson (2), and Mr. J. Johnstone (1).
[December 28, 1903. HONGKONG CHESS CLUB.
On the 21st inst, a meeting of the Hong- kong Chess Club was held in the room of the President, the Hon. H. E. Pollock, K.C., in Bank Buildings, to consider the position of the Club and arrange a programme for the coming season. The on, Treasurer showed that the financial condition was very satisfactory, there being some $90 in hand; but the roll of mem- bership had fallen off, mainly through departures from the Colony. It was decided to hold one. meeting a week only in future, as likely to secure better attendance of members, and a varied programme of events was arranged, including a number of matches: The Club will meet here. after every Wednesday evening in the City Hall Library at 5.15 o'clock. All chess- players desiring to become members are requested to send in their names to Mr. R. H. Newborn, Hon. Sec.
