Hong Kong team has not been fully extended in their practica games and as the Interport game takes place next Wednesday, several spectators consider that the Hong Kong side have not taken their games seriously. In yesterday's game, the inside forwards lacked the dash necessary to win matches against a bustling aide and several times the ball was stopped before shooting, the defence having plenty of time to clear, Shooting on the run is the game required.
The final of the Governor's Shield competition was to have been play ed next Sunday at Faaling, but this has now been fixed for Saturday, The finalists are the R.A.M.O. (Col Boylam Smith and Major Lynch), e. Johnson, Stokes and Master (D. J.

Some characteristic specimens of Scottish bumour were given by the Rev. J. Kirk Maconachie during a ten minutes' talk on this subject at the Anniversary Burns Nicht "" Dinner at Volunteer. Headquarters on Tuesday evening..
Mr. Maconchie treated his su jest naively and interestingly. His own dry humour made the
funny sayings he recapitulated all the better in the telling.
It had been said, remarked Mr. Maconachie, that it took a long time; to get a joke into a Scotebe man's head. For all that he could claim that Scotch people had a sense of humour, but some things that appeared funny to the Bar- search did not appear. funny when. spoken to the Scot. The Scot hid been put down as a dour and silent person, or as one writer, had main- -tained dry as the last remaining

If the commanding officer could not see the joke, commented the speaker, one can imagine somo awkward consequences for the re- cruit.” Se
