The Prince of Wales' Banner was first competed for in 1924 and it has been held by the following companies:
1st Kowloon 1024. 2nd Kowloon 1925.
2nd Kowloon 1920.
Jut Kowloon 1927. 3rd Hongkong 1928.- 2nd Kowloon 1929. so during these six years It has been held three times by 2nd Kowloon, in fact Kowloon has only lost it once which was to the 3rd Hongkong last year. I re- commend Hongkong to look to its laurels and make a strenuous ef- fort to carry the banner across the llarbour next year.
