Colony at present. ©Grass,--And Grass-substitutes. I find on enquiry that it has proved entirely impossible to grow grass from seed in the Colony, But under what conditions it has been so proved, I am not sure and I am enquiring. Definitely, if the or dinary soil of the Colony is prepar- ed and sown with grass seed, co thing happens. I think that ex- periments have been made on manured soil and soil mixed, with so dear to our theblack múd " amateur gardeners. But I am not yet sure if we have ever prepared a patch of bulli" and tried sowing grass on that. It would of course require covering' during heavy rain.
An ingenious suggestion was made the other day to the effect that we should gbtain turf from Shanghai eut to the depth of from 19 inches to two feet and watered steadily all the way down. I very much fear that the cost of such an periment would be prohibitive even if it were possible otherwise. That is of course unless we could' per. suade one of the Empress' skippers that his deck would look rather nice turfedi

But, bar Norris, the rest are rather unknown quantities, to me at all events. and I look for- ward with great pleasure to seeing some very interesting cricket over the holidays.

The First Division of the League seem to be proceeding in a very leisurely manner, if my information about to-morrow's games is correct. The Navy with a weak side got a trouncing from Kowloon a short time ago. It will be interesting to Bee whether, playing on their own ground, and with the assistance of the extra two big cruisers now in port, they will manage to reverse the decision. I doubt it, as Kow- loon are too strong to lose outright unless anything very unforeseen
occurs.
