Sir view of the increasing popularity of Hockey in this Colony I wonder if it has ever occurred local hockey teams and clubs to form a league amongst themselves, and It some person or organisation would be good enough to put up cup or shield to encourage competition.
It is well-known that the only trophy for which local hockey teams can compete in the "Sim Shield," and this is confined to the Army, Navy and Hongkong clubs. Perhaps you would be good enough to publish this letter in your correspondence column with a view to stimulating local in terext in this sport.

The story flows evenly, is treated in a novel but entirely natural manner, um owes much of its charm to the absence of theatricality.
