As it stands now, it would appear that if they are keen on winning a partionlar match, they put in a strong team; if, on the other hand, they are indifferent, they put in a team not quite so strong.

After their sensational opening on Saturday, against Kowloon the Gunners took a long time to again find the net, and then only after the visitors had had several good tries at equalising The ground was too hard for the play of the kopie team to be fully effective, the long passes very often travelling over the tonch-line na the result of the lively lall.
Craigengower played the Civil Service on the former's greaud. The main feature of the match was the remarkably low wores and in consequence the muccess of the trandlers. The horne team went to the wickets, and, facing the bowling of Battliwara and Pestonji, scored 54 Five dacks were registered. Battliwara bowls under-arma leg breaks and has been respon Bible for a number of surprises this season. There really appears to be nothing in his deliveries, but the fact remains that he gets wickets. Craigeugower appeared to have the game in hand, but Brett and Hutchison for the Civils were responsible for a similar rot in their batting side. There is no doubt the small scores are attributable to the wretched state of the pitch, and the old question crops up as to whether it would not be advisable for the League teama to play their watches on matting. It would do Kowloon de ant gem to have suffered mach away with the necessity of keeping, expensive by dropping several of the players who started staffs for coaxing or trying to coax turf to grow, the season with them, and if the present com.and it would make the scoring much higher and bination can be kept together they ought to do cricket more interesting to match, from a well in the forthcoming emp-tie competitions.

The indiscriminate use of the word" Socialism" is making political discussion ridiculous. It lends itself with fatal fasility to that powerful and intellectual form of argument, beloved by schoolboys, which is called--after the man who first need it, socording to an American orator...

"You're a tu quoque. another!" re ounds through the air sad at the end of the longest and most exhausting Session on record the House of Commons has been suding its time in bandying those expressions. The scene will soon be transferred to the con stituencies, and such time as honourable members can spare from disseminating or contradicting frigid and calentated lies will be devoted to the same useful and exhilarating postime up and down the country. There appears to be no help for it. This is still a moderately free country, and anyone may call himself or anyone else, a Socialist if he pleases; or he may, if so minded, it will, no doubt, bede rigueur, and savons disclaim the title.

In the middle of the first half of the pro-al gramme, Sir John Anderson presented the trophy, which was brilliantly conspicuous in front of the platform, to Capt. Elliot, on the request of Major Ellis, who said the trophy had been in possession of the Governor for the last twelve months, it would remain with him for another twelve months, and he hoped they would be honoured by a similar ceremony to this next year by scoring another win.
