First of all, when are we going have an honours board, or boards, put up in the Club house, at Fanling? The in- side of the Club house is less like the inside of a Golfers' Club house than any. thing I have ever seen. and yet no steps are taken to improve it. Incidentally. I have drawn attention to the fact at Jeast twice before, that there is a per
fectly good honours board lying on the floor, in the Happy Valley Club house, with no names on it.

In spite of the fact that I have repro duced the amended Rules, adopted by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, on two separate occasions, during the last three months, I see no notice in the Club house to the effect that the Club have adopted them. They were "adopted at home last September.

The previous record 139 was held by the same marksman, who has put up this score twice this season in competitions.
The following is the result of a match in the Hongkong Eifle League H.M.S. Tamar and E.N. Dackyard Recreation Club, fired at Tai Hang Range, resulting in a win for H.M.8. Tamar. The scorea were as follows:-

In outlining the case, the Attorney- General said that at about a quarter past six on the morning of January 3rd a man employed by the Gas Company on going round and extinguishing the gas lamps in the streets found a certain lamp near the gate of Government House on Upper Albert Road already extinguished. His way led along the path which runs from Albert Road to Garden Road. Here he found the dead body of a woman lying A new local record, under the League on the side channel.

If the jury thought the murder was committed by the prisoner, they must find him guilty even if they did tot discover the motive. It was possible that the murderer had taken away the woman's money. That might have been the motive of the murder. The Attorney-General said he did not put that forward as a definite part of the ense of the Crown; the murder might 200 500 600 Total. have been done for some other reason.

All this showed that the murder was com- mitted by some one in Government House, and by some one who had access to the key of the door which led from the servants' quarters into the ante room. That was the only way to get into the supper room. Whoever took the woman into the bath room must have 67 had access to the ballroom, and must have been some one who lived in Govern- ment House. The prisoner lived in the servants' room of Government House where the key of that door was kept: The murderer also must have been some one who knew the deceased sufficiently well for her to come with him to a place like the bath room. The one man in Government House, who knew her well was the prisoner.

The rule forbidding three and four ball matches, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, to start after 2 p.m., unless all singles "have driven off, is more ornamental than useful. If half a dozen four balls start cff between 1.20 p.m. and 2. p.m., there is not much pleasure in starting a single just behind them. There are a number of players who go out on Wednesdays Davics+ 1/8, and Saturdays, who have to catch the 5.10 p.m. train back, and all their plea-2/6. +4/0. sure is lost by being worried about being held up.

He advanced towards her, behaving indecently and making in- decent remarks to her in Chinese. She understood Chinese She was much upset and frightened; but knowing that the neighbourhood was more or less deserted account of the race meeting, she thought it best "to take no notice and On Saturday, while walking with her sister and a girl friend, near the same spot she again saw the man. She was determined to give him in charge, He seemed so they all followed him. frightened and hurried away. On seeing a Chinese constable at the bottom of Old Bailey be enlisted his aid and the man was arrested on the stairs of his house.
The defendant denied that he was in the neighbourhood on Wednesday and declared that it was a case of mistaken identity.
Complainant said she was confident he was the same man. In her statement at the police station she had acntioned that she had been similary annoyed by the same man before, so she was sure of her identification.
The defendant said he only recently arrived from Canton at search of work. He called a friend, who was also in of work, and who gave him a good character
