This trophy, which, was the out- come of a gift of money from Mr. hat lawn bowls team, was first put up for competition on New Year's Day. The ratch was played on the K.B.C.C. gound and resulted in a win for Kowloon by 22 shots, the trophy being retained by the oldest Club on the winning side.
According to the rules, the match has to be played annually or alter native sides of the harbour, and this-time the shield will be held by the Club on the winning side which has the highest position in the League.

HUGE NORFOLK CLIFF FALL.

Forty thonsand tons of cliff fell with a terrifying roar about a
quarter of a mile, south-east of Mundesley, on the Norfolk coast, last month. There is a big crack- a little way from the new cliff edge. and a further fall seemed likely.
The land which has vanished on to the beach belonged to' Messrs. Norman and William Larter, far- mers, of Mundesley. A portion of it constituted a cornfield which had recently been cut, and Isaac Tem ple, of Trunch, who was harrowing" in it, had a narrow escape.
In an interview he said that be had just turned the harrow round from the edge of the cliff when_he. heard a noise like thunder. His horse bolted, and he ran for safety. When he turned he saw that about 200 feet of the land he had bar- rowed had disappeared.

This is the fourth big fall of cliff on the North Norfolk coast between Cromer and Mundesley within two years. The last fall, of 80,000 tons, iras in October inst at Trimming- ham, two miles north of the 'pre- scat fall.
There are no buildings within four hundred yards of the scene of the fall, and tha main road is about five hundred yards away."
