Sia, May Die allowed a space in your columns to refer to the Fast Police Reserve Order, whereby all Police Reserve Duties. with the exception of the Seareli Super vistng Squad and the Mounted Patrols, are discontinued from the 18th just.
The effect of this order on the Search Bupersnes, composed mostly of members of the British Sections, is both unreaSOD able and unfair; for, by reason of it, 30 to 40 men must carry on doing what they never volunteered to de un joining, whilst approximately 500 of their col leagues are released from their duties.
The order appears all the more unrea sonable when it is considered that the Search Supervisors consist mostdy of mon who joined up voluntarily during the first year of the organization of the force, while a very large number at those who are now released were roped in
two years later; and, further, that only five Regulars are needed to release them.

The result of the match was placed beyond doubt when Robinson and Staple ton entered into partnership. The Man- chesters missed their best bowler, Allan. and Cavanaugh's slow breaks were to the liking of the batsmon. Stapleton brought off some magnificent drives, especially on the off, while Robinson hit out with great freedom. Goodall played polished cricket for 23 runs. Kowloon had scored 164 runs for the loss of wickets when staLIN PS were drawn, and were therefore victors by 58 runs and 4 wickets.
