It may be mentioned that the local Club are somewhat sanguine, and anticipate a win, realising that, owing to war calls, Shanghai have not been able to bring a team which can be looked upon as strong for Shanghai. The cup, it is of interest to noto, is one which is presented by the Shanghai Club, and the conditions are that it shall remain with the successful Club in any one year until it is takon away by the superiority of another Club. Clubs in China and Japan are eligible to compete, but the struggles for possession have been practically confined to Hong kong and Shanghai, though last year Tientsin made an unsuccessful attempt to take the cup further north. Until last year Shanghai had always managed to retain the trophy. Hongkong then made a great effort at the northern port, with t the result that the Cup now occupies a place of honour in the Club-house at Fan ling. The winning Hongkong team on THE HONGKONG LAND INVEST that occasion was fl. G. Gardner, J. Clark, K. M. Cumming, T. W. Hill, and T. S Torrest.
