CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
Mr. Leiria, on behalf of his wife, thanked the Vice-President, the Secretary and the Committee of the Club for the hand. some bouquet and the still more handsome silver presentation. It was a very pleasant duty to distribute prizes and be presented with a silver souvenir, especially when acknowledgment had to be made by the poor husband, who got noth- ing. He was sure all had enjoyed the sports immensely; they had seen good racing, and there Was no doubt that the best men had
come in first applause). He gratulated the successful competitors and trust- ed that the less fortunate ones would have better luck next year. There was no doubt that the success of the sports was due to the hard-work- ing vice-president, the energetic secretary, and the committee in general. Thanks were due to Sir Frederick Lugard for his kind patronage to the Jockey Club for the loan of the ground, to Bishop Pozzoni for his patronage, to the officers of the Portuguese gunboats, and to the ladies and gentlemen for their kind attendance. The Consul concluded by wishing prosperity to the Lusitano Recreation Club, and calling for three cheers for the same.
These were accorded, and were followed by cheers for the President for the ladies, and for officers of the Portuguese gunboats.

TEAM WINS THE SHIELD.
33
The meeting of the two Hongkong Club rivals during the week end was interesting inasmuch as it was the deciding match for the possession of the shield in the League competition for this season. The teams were favoured with good weather on both days. On Friday "A team batted first, Anderson being the only batsman to reach double figures. From the commencement there was a regular procession to and from the pavilion. Baird and Sharpin being the successful trundlers throughout the innings. Apparently one of those peculiar "rots" set in which are unaccountable.
The total score for the A" team was 39. After the tea interval, Elborough and Moore faced the bowling of Fowler and Anderson. Notwithstanding several changes in the bowling the couple compiled the necessary runs before a separation was effected, B team thus winning with ten wickets to spare. The match was however continued, "B" compiling 212.

dangerous but Deek was not to be caught napping. Hongkong attacked again, and showed some nice combination, but they had no luck at goal. Following a short spell of even play the visitors made a series of rushes but were repulsed, the backs defending well. The ball now travelled rapidly from end to end and just as Swatow was settling down, half time was called.
up.
After the five minutes reviver Referee But- cher blew the whistle and the teams again lined The Swatow men were early aggressive and Rigden catching up a pass beat his opponent and shooting straight into the net placed Swatow another point up. Scarcely three minutes had elapsed before Barker got possession and having his own way, scored a beautiful goal. Hongkong well, and following this up with a rush on the assumed the offensive but the home men cleared
visitors' goal, seogred a corner which Braun cleared in fine style Hongkong forwards and halves now
came swinging down in fine
style, their combination getting them in proximity to Deeks, whom Garrett beat with a swift low shot. Hongkong followed up this success with another attack, and Mead, from a few yards out-shot the second goal. From the kick off Swatow took posses- sion and secured their fifth point, Lane easily putting the ball past Grimble. The visitors obtained the next goal, Mead doing the trick. Hard pressing by both sides followed, and play was fast. Hongkong were working hard, and doing their best to equalise, but the luck was not to be theirs, and time was called with the score standing-Swatow, 5; Hongkong 3.
Thus ended the best and most enjoyable game of "footer" that Swatow has seen for somtime. All through it was a keen match and I, as a spectator, think the better team won, Per- haps they had a slice of luck, while Hongkong had extremely hard lines on several occasions in not scoring. Hongkong forwards were ex- cellent, the halves fair, the backs shaky, but the goalkeeper superb. The Swatow forwards were splendid, the halves were all right, the backs were very good, and the goalkeeper was mar. rellous.

Swatow, with their usual luck, won the toss and elected to play with the wind but against a glaring sun. The weather was ideal and the ground in the best of order when the Hongkong centre kicked off.
