FOOTBALL.
The Hongkong Football Club, on Saturday, put an Association team upon the Happy Valley ground to play an eleven of the Royal Artillery. The home team played a very, good game, and beat the soldiers by two goals to one. Had it not been for the good goal-keeping of the Artilley custodian, the Club would have finished with a much bigger score, to its credit, for its players continually swarmed around the uprights. Noble, Danby, Hancock and Looker were in evidence nearly the whole of the game. The first named on one occasion got possessiou of the ball and rushed it albug close to touch and centred, but the ball was returned to him, and then he shot for goal and was successful in putting it between the posts into the net. The other goal was scored by Looker, and was A capital shot. The combination on both sides was good at times, but on other occasions It was extremely poor, and particularly so two three times when an attack was made and a score seemed certain. Somehow of late the forward line of the Club have developed the detrimental trait of losing their heads" when in front of the sticks. Could they but restrain their eagerness on these occasions, it goes without saying that the team would oftener leave the field with a win instead of the reverse. Of course, the Club is not the only one possessing this failure-but for this fault the team would be a dangerous one, for amongst the eleven there are several starling playars. Green, for the Artillery, was most noticeable, playing a hard game throughout, and it was through his good play, which led up to the Anillory's score

CHRISTMAS AT THE GPO, Christmastide work at the General Post Office has been of overwhelming proportions, One advantage which flows from the great festival falling on a Sunday is that people post carly, and the annual host of procrastinators is thus largely diminished. To cope with the parcels and letters, an auxiliary force of 5,000 additional mon had been requisitioned, repre- seating a 50 per cent, increase to the ordinary staff. High-water mark was reached on the night of 23rd ulto, when the number of parcels was quite unprecedented Little short of a million parcels were despatched through the Mount Pleasant Office on 24th. By a mail from the Cape came 80,000 Christmas cards, sent at the book rate of postage; and heavy Indian and Australian mails also arrived. The event of Chritmas Eve was the arrival of a stupendous American mail
