ELLIS KADOORIE- INDIAN
SCHOOL.
ANNUAL SCHOOL SPORTS:
MEETING.
There was a large gathering of friends and parents at the Ellis Indian School – sporta
which were held in the Sockunpoo ground yesterday afternoon,
Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Sutherland, Mr. A. E. Wood (Director of Education), Kahn, Sahib Nawab Kaha (Supt. of Indian Police) and many Indian and Chinese ladies, and gentlemen.
Before the distribution of the prizes by Mrs. A. R. Sutherland, Mr. Bishen Singh, the headmaster, thanked the subsoribers to the prize fund and Mrs. Sutherland for kindly distributing the prizes. This was the 8th annual sports and the boys had shown great keenness and en- joyment in the events.
The event of last week-end was undoubtedly the defeat of Kowloon first eleven by the Chinese Recren-Kadoorie tion Club. But I fail to feel the extreme surprise which has been I have for several years scribes. contested that the CRC. are a useful side, though rather dis appointing often, and often lacking in anish.

With regard to unemployment, the Tories were easing that problem by assisting stagnant industries.

The Navy had again really bad luck with their second eleven, as they were beaten by the LBC B team by one wicket. I learn that the Navy put down nine catches and of course after that a win hardly possible!
For a short time the R.A.8.C.
looked as if they were going to hold the Club Second on what was not a very good wicket. Wingfield played a very pretty innings, while Langmaid defended; Lyons hit pluckily and over sixty was on the board for 2 wickets: But Cornaby went on at the Naval Yard end and bowling a remarkably as length and turning them a good bit, be ran through the rest pretty easily and came out with the ex- cellent analysis of 6 for 22.

The recent results rather point to the Club winning with K.O.C., LR.C. and University fighting it out for second place. Personally think the latter team will be sound.

The University finally lost their chance of being top by dropping two points against Criagengower end. Fritz saved the latter side, by collecting 55 out of the 190 for a that they amassed.
