Of the game yesterday, it may be said that the Probables were much the superior team in the first half, and after Evans had been presented by Brittain with a gift goal, they put, on three in rapid time, Chân Kwong iu and Gosuno (2) scoring, and led by 3-1 at half-time. The score might; have been six or seven at the-in- terval but for the fact that McNiven, Suen Kam-shun and Go- sana between them pat at least a dozen shots into the goalkeeper'a Erskine anticipatory hands.

EXPERIMENT WITH STARTING-GATE,
Those attending the New Year race meeting on the Shanghai Race Club's course, on Monday, (says the N. C. Dally News of Saturday lost) will have something additional to interest them, for the Stewards have arranged for the four mile and-a-quarter races on the card to be started with the Stewart start- ing-gate, which has been given several trials in the past few days. It is the invention of Mr. R. F. Sú wart, the famous Tientsin jockey, and has been built to his designs by the Eastern Engineering Works of Tientsin. This pattern has been used by the Tientsin Race Club at: their last seven meetings, with com plote euccess, and the northern club, which has been using a starting- gate for a long time now, has adopt ed the Stewart gate for permanent
use.
The tape will
Mr. Stewart has abandoned the idea followed with all other gates, of a release which flies forward and upward, in favour of one which simply springs straight up. When the most obvious objection to this was suggested to him, his reply was: "Well, there has been no trouble at Tientsin, nor even any suggestion of it. part if either jockey or pony ride into it and there is no danger of un accident. In Tientsin, too, they have further minimized the risk, both of trouble and delay, by mak ing rule under which a jockey is fined $10 for each breakage of the tupe."

The Navy were more effective Leach after the interval, and Knight scored the only goal with a bril- liant shot. Just before he had given Clark a teaser to deal with, and with Leonard also in good form, the Hongkong defence was severely tested.
The forwards pegged away con- stantly in retaliation but were not so quick to snap up their oppor tunities as in the opening half.
As a match, it was interesting. Although the Navy were hard pressed in the first half, they gave a capital display, Barkham, the right back and captain, inspiring
