NEW YEAR AT THE COUNTRY CLUB
Vandals On Horseback: Collecting Money For The British Red Cross
(By "Birdio")
ONE COULD NOT HAVE WISHED for finer weather than that of the New Year holidays. The course at Sheungshiu looked very fine under the brilliant sun, but its lovely surface was the cover- ing of a hard and sub baked soil. Puffs of “smoke” signalled where the ball had fallen. A little extra covering of sand on the greens, however, made them quite playable.
In weather such as this it is difficult keeping the course in good playing condition, and I can assure the two "sportsmen" on horseback who galloped over the course on New Year's day from one end to the other that the Club doos not need their efforts to till the soil. Unfortunately, the course had only a few players thereon, and these two "gentlemen" were out of range of both voice and ball.
There could be no question that they had not re- cognised a golf course, and indignation in the club house

Rifle Shooting
LIGHT ROBS F. P. SEQUEIRA OF "CENTURY"
Capt. F. P. Sequeira, Hongkong Volunteers, was unfortunate not to register the 100 mark in Satur- day's spoon and practies shoot at Stonecutters when failing light prevented him from securing best results at the longest range. He was very unlucky at 600 where he wanted a 34 to com- plete his century, but after start- ing off with five bulls he ended in fast failing light with a magpie and an inner for 98. Ho won the nett spoon in the aperture sights event.
There was a good gathering, about 35 attending. The day was fair for shooting, the wind being more or less down the range.
Sgt. R. J. Heap, Hange Slaff, won the open sights event with 15, which was considered a good effort as it is some time since he has used this type of rifle.
