Although a man short the Policemen still had the advantage but Lim Chin Chuen defied all their efforts.

The most thrilling erent yeater day was the football match between the victorious Hong Kong Chung Wha Team and the Shameen Foot ball Team composed of British and American marines. The Shameen Team went down to the Chinese to the tune of 3 to 1. When the two cpposing teams took the field, the spectators chered a never before. At first the Chinese spectators fear- ed that their team would be no match for the foreigners who were bigger men than their adversaries. But all fears were soon dispelled when, to every one's surprise, Wong Siu Wha of the Hong Kong team sent the ball into the Shameen goal. For more than five minutes the crowd went wild at the initial success of their champions. They stood up, waved their hands and HUNG KUI hats and shouted.
From & further breakaway by Ewo, Bin Kin Cho obtained the winning goal and this concluded the scoring in a very scrappy game.
Result: Police 1, Ewo Chinese 2:

"A Happy Voyage." : In an interview with Reuter's borrespondent at Porth A. P. F. Chapman said: “Arriving at our destination after a happy voyage we are all keen to get to work. Knowledge gained on the fold and on boord ship confirms my opinion that the players I have the dis tinction to lead will fally uphold the best traditions of English cricket and sportsmanship both on and of the field. Realising the heavy taak ahead I hope wa shail retain the Ashes, but if, uaforta. nately, we fail it will not be "for wont of trying. Mutual confidence inspires in me the feeling that the team is capable of big achiera. ments, and I ask England to re- poze a similar confidence in us."
The team were given a civic re ception at Perth and hunched with the Governor of Western Austraila, Sir William Campion.
