HOLIDAY CRICKET.

LEAGUE AND OTHER GAMES.

On Saturday the Civil Service will be searching for league points. Their opponents will be the Chinese Recre ation Club who intend to do their best to prevent the Civil Servants from taking the three points. O the Kowloon Club's enclosure, the Manchester Regt. will be the visits. With Hall gone Home their bowling will be weak, and it is quite reason- able to expect that the regiment will be unable to repeat their previous success on the same ground.

For Monday Mr. Ponsonby-Fene has fixed up an all day match. His team will play the United Services who ought to have a pretty good lot. The match will take place on the Civil Service ground.

A TRUCK ACCIDENT.

CHILD KILLED OUTRIGHT.

3. Mr. R. E. Lindsell in his capacity of Coroner conducted an inquiry this morning into the circumstances sur rounding the death of Wong Mo Lo, a Chinese girl of seven years, as a result of being knocked down by a truck on the 6th inst.

The jury empanelled were:A. E Atwell, H. B. Richard and D. C. Nichol

Outlining the facts of the case the Coroner, said that the incident occur ed over a bamboo bridge, running from the East side of Taipo Road down to a new road ander construct- ion. The bridge which was used by trucks engaged in the construction of the new road ran over a creek, and was used by Chinese as a short cut. On the day in question the

deceased and her relatives were in

the middle of the bridge when the truck came teating down on them- four in all, Her mother was seriously injured as .2 result of the collision but recovered. She was less fortunate and was killed almost outright. The question. for the jury to decide was whether or not there was any negligence on anybody's part, for them to being forward a verdict of manslaughter.

Dr. James. Smalley, Government Medical Officer at Kowloon stated that the deceased was brought to Kowloon Mortuary on the morning of the 7th, where she was identified by her mother. No bones were actually broken, except a rare on the left leg. The right thigh was also torn right through.

Mr. H. Stuart Rouse, Assistant engineer, P. W. D., deposed that the fault lay partly with the Government. It was the contractor's fault for not warning people of the approach of the trucks. There were no warning notices on the bridge'save a red flag on the embankment. There were no brakes to the trucks but the coolies could slow the truck's impetus by jamming stopt poles to the truck axles. The trucks travel on, is average of 3-4 miles per hour and it was possible to stop them by means
