We are now fairly in the thick of a season that will easily beat the record: for the Colony, and I really doubt as to whether even our local enthusiasts know of the number of leagues and other competitions in
actual progress here under the soccer code. The United Services and the Hongkong Leagues with their two divisions each are of course familiar to all, but it will probably come as a surprise to many to find that matches are being played in this district in th China Squadron League, the Small Ships League, the D. CLI. Company Cup Con- petition, and in the Royal Artillery Cup Competition.
Besides all these, Hongkong Club is continually playing friendly matches both by its first team and its reserve eleven, and, finally, the Club is now, framing its Shield Competi tion, which will embrace the whole of the strong clubs of the Colony. The China Squadron League has its headquarters at Wei-hai-wei and the big ships of the China Squadron play in it. but play their games wherever they happen to meet, The same latter remark equally applies to the Small Ships League. This competition, which is stage-managed by Lieut. Coltare of the Rosario, at present numbers about nine clubs, including the destroyers of the China Station. Each ehip is a separate entity and each is separately affiliated to the local Associa tion, The two regimental competitions | naturally appeal mostly to members of

sergeante ness, and the privilege of having the name of the Company painted on the scrolls of honour in the regimental theatre also helps to make the gaine worth fighting and win- ning. It is a fine thing to see this spirit among the men and it is pleasing to know that the feeling is fostered by the officers
of the regiments.

I personally was satisfied weeks ago that the journey was not going to be made, and private letters definitely said that the members could not get off twice in one season-to play at Kobe and at Hongkong. Then why was a reply not given, a reply of some sort ? It is a great pity that a match of this class, which can do so much to improve the game in general and the friendly relations between the two ports in particular, cannot be made an annual fixture.
