SHANGHAI BOWLERS BEATEN.
HONG KONG GAIN VICTORY BY TWO SHOTS.
VISITORS LOSE THE LEAD AT IMPORTANT "STAGE,
'GOOD LAST WOOD EFFORT.
Scores of three seasons ago when Shanghai lawn bowlers on their own ground defeated Hong Kong by 19 shots to 17 were re- versed on the Kowloon O.C. ground on Saturday by the local re- presentatives, who retained the trophy thanks to a majority of two shota. It was anybody's game until the last but two heads when Skip Malcolm had the misfortune to drive away his second wood which gave Hong Kong the winging avantage.
H.B. the Officer Administering the Government (the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G.), who is President of the Hong Kong" Lawn Bowls Association, complimented Skip Malcolm' on his great effort with his last wood and extended his congratulations also to Skip Ferguson.
SKIP MALCOLM TO THE FORE."
The match, played in a hot sun, was watched by several hundreds of spectators, including a large num her of ladies. "Shanghai had a large proportion of supporters among the large crowd, and they heartly applauded the visiting players who were very often bring
ing off singularly far shots Skip Malcolm provided the usual enter- tainment by running after the wooda with his amusing patter, often expressing his determination to take the Cup back to Shanghai. A weak point in the visiting team was their No. 5, Jessiman, who was not playing as he did in the first match at Kowloon Dock. Phillips fully justified his position as num ber one and sent down some very good woods. Dorrance was a very useful number three and faithfully carried out instructions, bringing out marvellous shots at times when tis akip allowed him to play his own game. Skip Malcolm outshone the local leader, and Grimmitt once again being the pick of the
·local Learn.
Commencement of the Game, It the first few heads the players often sent their woods 40 the ditch, but they gradually settled down to good heads in which the woods often got hunched up. Hong Kong drew first blood, with a single, and Rave one away in the next. The third head saw Dorrance draw with a pretty shot, but Grimmitt came in for applause by taking it away and trailing the jack, giving Hong Kong one shot in the end. Shanghai then took two shots, the skip drawing for the second after Phillips had laid one on the jack.
The fifth, sixth and seventh heads went to the locals which gave them a lend of 0-3, In the first of these Bass rested on the jack and Grimmitt improved the position. Malcolm, sent down a steady wood to draw the shot, and the local skip broke up to give the shot to Hong "Kong, Nine woods went into the ditch in the sixth" head which gave the locals anothery single. The se venth saw them with a coupl
Shanghai Score a “Sizer," The eighth head assisted Shang- hai's fortunes, as they put up the highest single head score of six A lot of cutting out was done by the Shanghai players to give them a number before the skips crossed over. Malcolm was cheered for two beautiful shots. Four were counted for. Shanghai and the tape showed that they had another two. Shanghai were now three up, or 9.6.
Hong Kong got away with two singles, and the visitors retaliated with one stroke, their skip putting in another beauty on the jack for the count of two. In the twelfth head Laing drew the shot on a short rotl, and Grimmitt did some good work in getting toge- ther some more. Three shots re- sulted, making the score 11-11. In the thirteenth head Hong Kong went ahead by three shots with a repetition of the score. Laing got in two woods, one a foot away from the jack, and Basa put in more counters The number three's en- countered timber on the way, and Ferguson put in a blocker.

Phillips next put one on the jack, and applause broke out again when Laing followed his example, Jessi man trailed the jack. Dorrance placed in in a good position to see Grimmitt running into the gutter twice. Shanghai were then lying three, towards which Malcolia, put in a blocker. Ferguson's drive knocked up a wood to save two, "Shapghai upw had the lend 10-15.

ENJOYS
No finer tribute could have been paid to the capabilities of the home team than tha; by Mr. Malcolm, who said that he had never seen such wonderful bowling. Mr. Dorrance, who led the team, endorsed this opinion, and said that he had never before played against a finer set of fellows or on a better green.
the As
balow given indicate, Shanghai had the lead during an important stage of the game, but Club de Recreio reserved the excitement until the last bead. Ribeiro made the and error at giving Shanghai the shot which his predecessor, Silva, had firmly laid beside the jack. Lus scratched his head when he saw the wood coming tis cause the destruction, but he sent down a beautiful drive which moved up one of his woods into the
little cradle built up by the best science on both sides. Dorrance at- tempted to get in, but he was try ing the impossible, not owing to any fault of the green as he later told the gathering.
Luz sent his second wood into the gutter on the instructions of his number three, because the mateb had been won as the skip know how to do it. Shanghai players heartily congratulated the winning skip on his play, and his Club colleagues were not behind hand in their admiration of the lender.

Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house; and his dis ciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable. of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them. He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the 6-wicked one: The enemy that sowed them is the devil;. As there 63fore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world" (Matt 13:35-38,39,40).

The Lessor-Sermon also includ- ed the following passages from 75 the Christian Science text-book, "Science and Health with Key to 4the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: Jesus demonstrations sift the chaff from the wheat, and unfold the unity and the reality of good; the areality, the nothingness of evil" (p.209):
