In both divisions thero was a match cancelled. on Saturday, and sa this is not by any means a rare occurrence, it would seem as if the time ha arrived when the League committed should
impose a more severe penalty than the mars forfeiture of points for offences of this kind. The offenders on the occasion were the B.O.C. and the R.E., and the paltry exense of being unable to raise a team is hardly good enough, considering the inconvenience caused,

HUNTING,
EXCITING EXPERIENCES.
From Mr. Roosevelt's noogant of his ex perionous in Afrios we take the following. graphic description of some lion-hunting ex-.
A ten kound competition followed between' Bdsman Willis of the Balls, 160 The, and P. Periences O. Ghibney, of H.M.B. Flora, 168 lbs. Gibney forced the fight in the opening rounds, but was unable to get an effective blow home on the wily Willis, who scored well in the final rounds and was awarded the decision.
Then came the main event of twenty rounds between Bill Lewis, 140 lbs., and Stoker Pascall, of H.M.S. Monmouth, 182 lbs. It is a long time sinos a Hongkong audience was aroused to such a state of enthusiasm as that which prevailed during this contest, which had many, points of resemblance to the historie Burns Johnson fight. Lewis, who was allowing his opponent 42 lbs. in weight, also conceded him many inches in height, and when the fight opened it did not appear as if the little man would have a possible chance of lasting twenty rounds with the burly stoker. But he did, and fought with such admirabla pluck and gmoralship ne to enhance bis already brilliant reputation as a pugilist. In this fight Bill found it necessary to show more of his hand
than he has yet displayed, for besides being up against a big man ho found that he had to faon a veteran whose ringcraft and skill in the manly art were squal to his own. With the Sounding of the gong Lewis sprang in to the sttack and succeeded in bringing off a riglit uppercut. Fascall retaliated with some exfee

IN THE LION KINGDOM. Everywhere throughout the country we were crossing were signs that the lion was lord, and that his reign was cruel. There were many lions, for the game on which they food was extraordinarily shundant. They occasionally took the ostriches or stock of the settlers, or ravaged the herds and looks of the natives, but not often, for their favourite food was yielded by on which they could prey the swarming herds of kongoni and zəb

Latar found that they, did not molest the bufalo, even where they lived in the same reed-beds, and this though elsewhere they habitually prey besta could be obtained without effort, it was on the buffalo.

he did.
