CLUB NAVY.
first of the triangular con te": for the Club, Army and Navy was played on Saturday when the Clubs beat the Navy by 12 points
to 7.
From the spectators, point of view it was one of the best games seen this year. The ball was com- ing quickly and closaly from the serums and there were plenty of movemente by the backs of both sides.
"Quite apart from anything clac, it was worth the journey to Happy Valley to watch the duel between Bonaar and Sayer, the opposing scrum halves. They were very evenly matched to begin with but Bonnar gradually obtained the manatery and towards the end was continually smothering his opposite number."

The Play.
There no wind and the ground was in excellent condition though a bit hard in places, as come of the players found out during the game.
The Club started pressing and it was soon obvious that the backs chances were going to get more than last week as the heeling was rauch cleaner and quicker, both scrum "halves getting the ball out, and Bonaar in particular throwing out fome good passes.
The Club threes got going and Hutchison sold a nice dummy before passing to his wing mat who just failed to finish the move. inent.

From the kick off the Navy pressed and made a lot of ground with a couple of three-quarter movements, and then the Club got going, the ball travelling out to Koop who gave a nice reverse paas to Lammert who was tackled before he could do anything.
The Navy came back and Grieve Gelded a kick and made a lot of ground cfore passing to Goldman who ran strongly but gave a for ward pass.

The Club forwards made the vie

Both scrum halves played a hard. and excellent game and both took a gruelling from the other in a spirit highly to be commended when it cannot be altogether pleneant to have one's nose continually ground into the earth!
Discussing the proposal to estab- lish an assembly plant serving the Far East, Mr. Carey suggested that the absence of such a plant at present must be a great handicap to civil aviation in this part of the world. He thought Kowloon was an alternative site for an assembly plant, but he emphasised in this connection that his company were thinking of the future rather than

Manufacturers of perfumes and toilet articles are doing much less business this year on account of increased local competition. Toilet articles of superior quality come from France but they are not in great demand. During last year. over a million dollars' worth of locally-made face cream was sold in Canton alone.
Owing to falling off of demand from Europe and America, silk Pts.filatures and silk merchants have suffered very heavily. During the last two weeks, there have been practically no inquiries by foreign merchants and prices have been so low that about seventy"per cent, of the merchants have sustained losses, which are estimated At over $1,000,000 for the year.
