Making Trip?
By far the beat news we have received this week is thant Shanghai is willing to send an Interport hockey team down to Hongkong during the Easter holidays if the conditions lald .down arc acceptable to the
Colony authorities.
1 understand that Shanghai hos made certain stipulations with re- gard to gate receipts and accom- modation of its players, and if, these are agreed to, the Shanghal Hockey Club will send a representative side- here for an Interport contest.
This is heartening news indeed to all local hockey enthusiasts, (8- pecially to those who have always advocated a men's Interport series with Shanghai. The ladies of the two ports have already entered into the spirit of friendly rivalry, and It is about time that the men fol- lower nult.
For the sake of the game--t am sure on Interport with Shanghal will prove a great Incentive to local
players-I hope the Hongkong au- thorities will take advantage of this
offer.
If negotiations prove sallsfactory to both sides, the northerners will probably be down here round about April 15-10. They are anxious to play three matches In the Colony (1) versus Hongkong; (2) versus Civilians; and (3) versus the United Servicca.

Early In the game Miss Mursh, Mrs. Scrimgeour and Mrs. Waddell com- bined perfectly and came very near to scoring but the obstinate defence put up by Miss A. Fowler, at left bock, prevented many would-be goal being scored. Miss M. Smalley, on the right wing for the visitors, also gave a sparkling display. Well supported by their half back line, Miss J. Dalziel, Miss Pope and Miss Gordon-Smith, there was never any doubt of their superiority during the first spell in which they deserved two goals at least.

The draw has resulted as follows: Recreio Ladies v. Hongkong Ladies

In the top half, the Hongkong Ladles, the present champions, should defeat the Recreio in the first round and meet the "Y" Ladles in the semi- final.
In the second half, C.B.S. girls ought to account for the Seaforths and meet St. Andrew's in the semi- Anal
The chances are that "y" Ladies und St. Andrew's will clash in the final, in which case the former will probably win. The Saints are play- ing good hockey at the moment and may even cause an upset by winning the Tournament. It is going to be
a very interesting affair.
