I was rather amused at rosding some of the suggestions made for improving the light on the cricket grund. We can not possibly sacrifion the few troes that the typhoons allow to grow to maturity there is no reason why the Hongkong Olab should not go in for a drosa of white wash on it's landward side on the next occasion of an Interport Festival. We are nothing if not good sportamon in Hongkong and little thing like that the Club would be only too happy to do, I am sure. Nohiem oblige.

Mr Stewart said he could not claim to being the originator of the movement. He thought it would be advisable to present trophy, because it would be the means of stimulating competition. The formation of a league depended upon the facilities for ranges. If those could be procured, there did not appear to be much difficulty.

It was eventually decided that a loadze be formed, and that Mr Northcote be asked to andertake the duties of socrotary.

Polo.

Thursday was pretty busy night for Hongkong journalists. Dr Thomson was leotaring before the Chinese Y.M.U.A.; Mrs Williams was speaking before the Union Church Literary Club; Bishop Lander was conducting spectat service The first round of the quarterly polo for Boatror at St John's Cathedral ; | tournament will take place on Monday, at there was a popular concert at the Causeway Bay, commencing at 4.15 p.ix. Soldiers and Sailors' Club; a troupe of most marvellous Chinese acrobats at the Theatre Royal, and a high class Chinese theatrical entertainment at the Tai Hing Thostra; besides a big fire across the water. And yet peopis sometimes complain that nothing ever happens in Ronghug, and that it is a regular dismal hole so far ** a full and generous life is concerned.

Personally I find life is a bit too strenuous at times in Hongkong during the winter season and one looks back with positive longing to the languorous, casy going jors of what Mr Thoma in his now amusing book calls the "Pompeian delights of launch parties." But what over is satisfied in this world of cura ?***
