The Shanghai F.A. Proposing the tomat of the Shang hai Football Association, Mr. C W. E. BISHOP (Captain of the Hong Kong Interport Football Eleven described the Shanghai players as sportsmen. He said that the essence of sportsmanship was to take defeat gracefully, and Shanghai had cer- tainly qualified for this appella- tion. (Applause.) This ChiR- ese footballers were represented in the Shanghai team, and it much pleasure to welcome there players among them. (Applause.)

It was much easier for them when they went to Shanghai to adapt themselves to improved conditions, than it was for Shanghai players to adapt themselves to worse con- ditions in Hong Kong for playing football. (Laughter add cheers.)
