One of the printers of the Hongkong Daily Press considered that the Cross Word Puzzle published yesterday would be too easy if given in its ordinary form. He, therefore, decided to make the work of solving the puzzle more difficult by substituting a form that had little or no relation to the clues.

The solution will appear in to-morrow's paper.
