The second match between the Club and Army Rugby teams played on Wednesday afternoon resulted in a win for the former by 17 points to 3 Right throughout the.. game the Club were decidedly the better team, although the heavy Army forwards rather dominated the scrumis. As, how- ever, the Club backs made good use of the opportunities that came their way, the Club's weakness forward was not so much felt as it might have boun. Tries were scored by Grayburn, Linton, Claxton, Rouse and. Stark, and several were the result of some fino hand to

A fast initial half was brought to a close without any material results accruing, but early in the concluding moiety Pennell shot hard for the corner of tho not with the custodian the other side, and one of the backs saved a certain goal by knocking the ball down with his hand.

A Chinese Resident would be established at some town where a Russian Consular officer was stationed, possibly Urga. He doubted, however, whether the suzerainty of China would still be recognised by the Mongols if the Central Government at Peking wore to assume a Republican form; and Russia would have to recognise Mongolian independence if it were de-
