GOLF NOTES.
[BrWRYNECK,”]
So the Cup" which Shanghai brought back with then stay's here, thanks to the prowess of the Hong Kong team
Against Shanghai, Manila put up an' exceedingly good show, and were only defeated by two points. In this match Blinko struck his very best form, and was round in 70 in the Four-ball and, I believe, 79 in his Single.
Hong Kong beat Manila fairly comfortably. In this match Mackay is to be congratulated on the very fine golf which he produced in de- feating Marton. Rumour has it that Andrews' opponent did not koow the result of his match. until he reached the Club-house, as An- drewes disappeared from his view in a cloud of dust and small stones, and finished two clear holes ahead
Personally, I think this is an exaggeration, but it's a pity to spoil a good story just for the sake of verisimilitude 1
The course was in its very best trim for the whole series of matches, and the weather was kind, except for Friday, when many of the greens were under water for a short period.
Further Interports.
Pilcher, speaking at the dinner, suggested that in future it might be a good idea to play the triangu iar match in Manila, Hong Kong, cad Shanghai alternately.

In games in general the usual method to give any advantage to the defending side. The hold ere of the Cup are obviously de. fenders, and according to this rule should be given the advantage of publishing their team after the challengers have shown their hand, but the visiting team rarely send their strongest combing tion, and therefore start at a de. cilled disadvantage on a compara tively strange course. Consequent ly, it might even things up a bit if they were always to arrange their team to their greatest advantage.
I think there's a lot to be said for the latter arrangement. More especially as the argument put for ward in support of the former is fallacicus in that advantage is only given to the defenders in the course of play. At Wimbledon the holdering in. Ramjahn's favour. of the Singles championship used only to appear in the challenge round. Some people regard this as
a decided advantage for him, as he was excused a fortnight of hard matches.
Others said it deprived him of practice agaicet first-class players. But in any case he has to play through now

Rumjaha was out- played. and allowed Redmond to lead at 6-2, but a change took place at this stage. Redmond began to be patchy, and with Ramjahn be- coming enterprising the score was brought to 5 all. A good struggle followed for the next two games, which produced some fine play, end-

Formerly the time taken to get from Manila to Shanghai made it exceedingly difficult to get together a. team who could make the jour-ROYAL Day. With the improved transport facilition between Shanghai and Manila this difficulty is overcome, and the match could be arranged to take place in October each year, a month suitable for Manila and Shanghai courses, and prób ably the best time of year for Fan ling. In addition, this date would not clash with China New Year, when Fanling is naturally crowded with members taking advantage of the few days' holiday.
Trains.
On Sunday the Empress of Aus tralia on a round-the-world trip will be in Hong Kong. The railway company are running a special train to Canton for the benefit of the Empress tourists, and for some obscure reason the train service to and from Fanling may be curtail ed in consequence. It behoves ue, therefore, to make sure that the train we intend to use is running.

Honouring our Guests.
In order to show the visiting' golf teams how pleased we were to see them in Hong Kong, a dinner was given last week in their honour.
Out of the nine hundred and fifty odd members and subscribers, apart from the teams and committee, only fourteen left their rock fast. the inaccessible hesres amongst wilds of the Peak and Yaumati in order to attend 1

The opinion of one person at the meeting was not only that the Chin ese team representing Southern China should not have played Lai Mau, but also that the game itself should not have been played with- out first obtaining the permission of the F.A.

If the F.A. control all football games in Hong Kong, the proper thing to do, I should imagine, would have been to notify the the Chinese Federation, prior to playing of the inter-sectional games, that the singing of such a game was not in order. But in- stead of anything of this kind be ing done, certain officials were ac tually present at the game, thus helping the "offenders" to make a big success of their show! The pro- per attitude would have been to from unauthorised away stay games, I should imagine. Is it be- cause the F.A only realised, after the games, that the permission of the Association should have been obtained first? If so, why not say so frankly, and state the grounds on which such an assertion is made? "We are It is not enough to say, the controlling, body," for the strongest answer to that would be the one word, "Why "Yours, etc.

RACE PREJUDICE.
INSTINCTS THAT MUST BE OVERCOME.

Dr. L. F., Rushbrooke Willine, Foreign Minister of the Indian State of Patiala, at a luncheon- hour lecture at the Friends' House, Euston Road, London, last month, on "The colour, bar in India," said his experience inclined him to be- lieve that colour prejudice was in- herited race instinct. It was not without significance that among the Nordio peoples the villain was al- way's a man with dark hair and dark complexion. This was on the films and the stage to-day. Our whole civilisation depended our overcoming such in upon stincts.

If we could make it plain that we really did mean what we said in regard to India acquir ing self-government, we should un dercut some of the most formidable roots of the colour bar problem in India.

Magic City..
When night fell Galapach became a, magic city of light. Flags flut tered in the glow of fairy lamps. scarchlights and fireworks flashed over the dark waters and grey walls of the old castle, and a torchlight procession passed, singing, along the half-completed modern street.
Standing on the steps between his wife and son, who help him in his giant labours, was 2eileif, a smile on his broad bearded face.
The scene closed at midnight, when a detachment of police, stark and solema in the half-glare of lamps, fired a salvo in honour of Zeileii.
