Governor on Scene.
Among the large number of people who were on the scene of the fire this forenoon, were Hls Excellency the Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., accompanied by his Private Secretary, Captain Whyte. His Excellency arrived at the scene at about noon and was seen speaking with Mr.J. Witehall, the manager of the Hotel.
The Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, Colonial Secretary, and the Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy were also among the visitors, arriving in the hotel at about 10 am.

The results were all in accord with expectations, though a surprise might easily have been crented at Kowloon where the Small Units scored two snap goals the first five minutes of the game.

An exhibition of temper in the closing stages of the match he tween the Royal Navy and the Club spoilt an otherwise pleasant game. Evan fell foul of Blahop and retallaled in a manner which brought upon him the severest penalty, marching orders.
There and been no sign of bad feeling previously. The Navy, without displaying real brilliance, had played sufficiently well to de- serve tho lend they had secarad. The match was won in the first half when the Navy forced the pace, and built up a lead of two goals.
