-To come back to current, prospects, of the various clubs. Although at the moment the Indian Recreation Club(holders) are favourites, it will not be surprising to see an other club snate the title away from them." Kowloon (.C. and the Chinese R.C. are their most dan gerous rivals. There is always an olement of uncertainty in the League, and ná no return matches are played, a lapse on the part of the Indians might proved fatal. They will miss the services of C. A. L. Rumjahu badly, but can still raise a strong team capable of defend successfully
the slub'e colours. I. M. A. Razack, who has recently returned from Shanghai, will 6 O. A. L Rumjam's place, and will thus. partner J. A. Cas subhoy. The two have combined it the past. In both Lengue and Championship matches, and should help their side materially.....
The Indians' strongest pair is H. D. Rumjaha and B. A. Romjahn, of whom little be said here except that they are an asset to any club. team in the Colony. A. A. Rum Jahn and J. 8. A. Curroom will brobably make us the third pair,
The Kowloon Uricket Club, wie finished second last year, are fav ourably placed for this season, and if their representatives can produce their best form on the day of their match with the Indians, there might be an apast in the League Table, They can rely on B. C. Fincher, E. F. Fincher, A E. Guest, T. Lay, and Hyde to win, while they have several good reserves to draw on.
The Hong Kong Cricket Club ought to show up prominently also. They came third last year, and us they can probably draw on Bed mond and Forster Iqu. account of the fact that the University are not

To wind up I would like to say how grateful I feel to the Inspector General of Police and to his ne sistants at Kowloon for the efficient force under Inspector Lange who did duty at the Fair on Monday and yesterday. Their fores was supplemented by four members of the Chinese section of the Police Reserve. To Commodora" Walker; R.N., and Captain G. K. Kachels, R.N., D.S.O., I must say how much the band of HM.S. Coruwall, con. ducted by Bandmaster E. N. Wi liane, R.M.B. added to the pleasuro of the afternoon. No one who has not learned of the scurtesy of Mr. A, G. Piovanelli, manager of the Peninsula Hotel, can realise what immense help. he and his staff hav been to the Fair. The Peninsula Hotel in an ideal place; its loca tion
enjoys a setting without parallel. The Directors of the Hotel must surely feel proud, that they can place at the disposal of "the Colony an establishment that is second to none-in point of equip ment and comfort for yesterday's function which will go down in the Annals of Hong Kong as a "Red Letter Day
