There are many prepared sites. In due course there will be about forty residences at Shek O.
It is a delightful spot and those who can afford to live there are to be envied."
At present only two of the bungalows are occupied. The present occupante may come to be regarded as the Mayor and Town Clerk of Shek O. They have Mayor at Cheung Chau but perhaps that community is more democratic.
THE ATTRACTIONS.

are tennis courts, bathing beaches and an excellent golf course There is also the scenery.

THE TEAM AGAINST THE FILIPINOS.
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.
Owing to the rain-there was no base- ball league game at the Happy Valley diamond yesterday, but picked teams from the several clubs of the Hongkong Baseball Association played practice games in preparation for the coming visit of the Filipino team from "Manila. on August leth
For the game against the Filipinos, the local clubs have recommended the follow. ing to the officials of the Association:
South China.-S. L. Lee, Shim, and June..
Filipino Club.-Zafra, de 起 Cruz, Leonard, and Angeles.
Club de Recreio.-Alves, Gosano, and Rocha.
Japanese.-Y. Kusano, H Hachiuma, and S. Hachiuma,
Hongkong Baseball Club-Cockey,
Kansom, and Hines.
Volunteers.-Bowker.
The Association will probably ask Ichimatau, T. Chinn, and several others to be on the field for practise next Wednesday afternoon. The final selection of the Hongkong team will be made by Mr. C. S. Ransom, President; Mr. L. R. Ildefonso, Hon Treasurer; and Mr. Hin Wong, Hon Secretary, of the Baseball Association.
