CHINESE NEW YEAR:

The Chinese heralded in their New Year with the customary festivities Including the firing of many crackers. It was unfortunate that rain fell practically throughout Friday but a continuous banging gave evidence of the fact that it required something more than rain to make a Chinaman feel dull at this season. Queen's Road on Thursday night was the centre of attraction The street was

lined with stalls from which were purveyed strange looking "chaow, modern and antique curios and .busehold: utensils. The customary crowd of foreigners joined in the revelling and spent an enjoyable time mingling with the shuffing crowd, throwing crackers, and, most enjoyable thing of all, bargaining with the stall holders: A number of tourists observed having the time of their

LONLON, Febuary 16. Replying to Holland's refusal to surrender the ex-Kaiser the Supreme Council declares that his presence close to Germany, constitutes a menace which imposes a duty on the Powers to take measures necesssary for their own security. In renewing the request the Powers regret the Dutch note failed to consider the possibility of measures applied on the spot or by removing the ex-Kaiser some distance from the scene of his crimes. The note warns Holland of the grave situation which may follow failure give the assurances which the safety af Europe demands and expresses entered against him, the defendant A ROWING REGATTA will be held surprise that the Dutch have not expressed a single word of disapproval was allowed out on bail.

FOOTBALL IN FANCY

DRESS.

'AMUSING DISPLAY AT HAPPY

YALLEY.

It was a pity that such miserable weather prevailed yesterday. when another effort was made to collect funds on behalf of the widow of the murdered Warder Speed. The ides of a football match in fancy dress costume was a happy one, and in ordi- nary circumstances the game would have attracted a large crowd, but, yesterday, only a small band of the most enthusiastic persons ventured out, although it was not actually drizz ling for hall an hour before the match. Anyway, the result was dis- appointing. and, the object being very worthy it is to be hoped that the march will be re-played at some date. in the future when fair weather may .be reasonably expected.

Those present at the march indulged in very frequent bursts of laughter, for the players went the whole hog to be as farcical as possible. From the time Miss de Journel kicked off right to the finish the twenty-two men played the foot with right good' will, tumbling down in every conceivable position, playfully hitting each other. and generally doing everything pos sible to force mirth out of the gather- ing.

The Kowloon .Blancos" won by: four goals to two, and a good many: goals were scored by each side that were not allowed by the referee. The first goal was scored by the "Hong- kong Hoppers." A penalty kick was awarded for an unknown infringement of the game. The Parson coolly carrying the ball under his arm threw it into the Chinese coolie's basket, and the Chinese coolie deposited bas. ket and ball inside the net, amid great cheers from his side. The "Blancos" scon equalised through Reckless Reg- gie who was a treat to watch as he kicked the ball past Dolly. Each side soored another goal before the inter- val, Jimmy Wilde, who had been doing a lot of damage with his bra ny arms and been laid out several times netting for the "Hoppers" and the Eien Boy scoring for the Blancos."

In the interval, the Band of the Wilshires played an inspiriting tune, and the players" frolicked about. Later on, the "Blancos" scored two more goals, the Chel heading a pro-" cession with the ball in his bat for

the first, and the Toff finishing a good individual run for the second,

The teams were as follows :-- "Kowloon Blancos":- Bradley (Chelsea Pensioner); Bowen (Fisher- man) and Phayer (Indian); Green (Mephistopheles). Ewington (School- master) and Philips (Eton Boy); Goldsmith (Fisherman), Tyrell (Black and White), Aslett (Chef, Joy (Chi- rese coolie) and Leyden (Indian -Chief).

"Hongkong Hoppers": King (Dolly): Sergeant (Navvy) and Davis (Pierrot): East (Reckless Reggie), Rivers (P.C. 49) and Newton, (Par- son): Lee (Ricksha coolie), Eales (Jimmy Wilde). Varadell It Simons (To) and, Davey (D.C.L. Whisky)..

TO-NIGHT'S CONCERT. To-night's concert promises to be a great success. The programme: we are informed, is a very attractive one.

A dance will be held at the Palace Hotel to-night at 9.00 o'clock. The band of the Korea Maru will be in attendance, and will play from 7.30.
