Flyweights.
In a flyweight contest Fte. Woolcott (East Surreys) clashed with L/C. MeWhen K.O.S.B.'8). After a tame first round, Woolcott went in and slashed home with both hands continually. McWhan was very inexperienced, posscas- ing neither punch not defence. Woolcott
Was an easy winner.

On the morning of July 25th two men, Croft and Scott, went out from South OCEAN COMPREHENSIVE POLICY Shields to fish. They were caught in a squall, and their boat became unmanage able. They tried to enter the harbour, bat the wind and heavy sex swept them away. They were carried towards the Trow Racks; and succeeded in anchoring, but the cable parted, and their boat drove nahore, being continually swept by the breakers.
They had been seen from the shore, and a messenger went to, get the coastguard to launch their boat, but their danger became so great that Mr. Jagger and Mr. Millar decided to launch a sari boat. They were told that such a boat could not live in the aea which was running, but they insisted on putting out. When they were within hailing distance they shouted to Croft and Scott to try to follow them. This they managed to do for about 30 yards, but then their boat was awamped, Croft being thrown into the sea, while Scott managed to cling to the boat, and was washed ashore.
At the same moment the rescuing boat was capsized, and both Jagger and Millar were ang into the sea. They swam towards Croft, who could not swim and went, under every time a wave broke L/C. Cooper was the Surrcy's repre- over him, and got him safely ashore, sentative and fe.

D. C. Bara is another class batsman. He is properly an opener, and it may be that Captain Barratt will see ɓt to send him to first to partner Divecha, keeping Leach as first wicket down. Burn has not shown the same form this season as be did last, but is a steady rungetter and is possessed of as pretty a style as any batsman in Shanghai.

Special Contest.
In a special four round contest Ldg. Seaman Baker, of H.M.S. Hermes, clashed with AB. Baker, of the same ship The first round was rather tame, and the exchanges were few. The Lead- ing Seaman was sligthly "superior. The Able Seaman scored occasionally in the second round, but was too prone to lurch wildly The Leading Seaman used Deat left jabs to advantage, and his defence was sound.
The third round was fast and furious, and both men were seen to score in turn.

During the year under review no fewer than 113 vessels, aggregating 601,437 tops gross, had been constructed under the supervision of the Society's surveyors in which this type of engine had been in- stalled. Forty-six of these vessels, total- ling 221,420 tons, had been built in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the remainder abroad. Seventy-three of the full total were each of more than 5,000 tous. Whereas in July, 1914, there were 297 motor-ships 234,287 gross tons, in July, 1920, there were 2,343 such vensela of 3,403,284 gross tons.
Fifty-seven new vessels of 303,835 tona gross had been fitted during the year with installations for burning oil fuel in boiler furnaces, and the total of all such vessels in Lloyd's Register on July 20th was 18,213,539 gross tons, compared with 1,310,200 gross tons in July, 1914.

Plans For New Ships. During the year the Committee passed plans for 361 new vessels of 1,088,360 teas gross. These figures were substantially below those for the corresponding period last year.
It may be noted, however, that of the total projected tonnage no less than 88.3 per cent. (744,030 tons) was to be built in Great Britain and Ireland, and 31.7 per cent. (348,330 tons) abroad "Although there was a falling off in the total as compared with last year, the percentage of the amount to be built at home showed an increase of 13.2,
During the year ended June 30th, 1926,.. the Committee had assigned classes to 410 new vessels of 1,330,507 tons gross, & tonnage showing a slight increase over these 200 vessels of 807,827 tons were built the similar., figures for last year. Of
