EASY WIN.

One of the Regimental Teams of the Surrey's had no difficulty in die posing of the Club second string at The Grenadiers ground Kowloon, yesterday afternoon. The first half the Club was decidedly lucky although the soldiers certainly had the best of the play. The first score was by the Surrey's after about a qarter of an hour's play, followed up by one more before the half closed. The second half started off belter for the Club who were press- ing, but the soldiers again mainged to score first. This was followed up by a quick one from the Club, Hyde sooning.

The Club were having the better of the game, now and Mycock added another, to the list, but it was just alut the soldiers walking through the defence and scoring two more

before the end. The Surreys won five goals to two. For the Club the quistanding player was the Rev. N. Evana who played a fine game at centre half.

COMMENT ON THE GAMES. Yesterday for the first time this year the Club played two elevens once again, and had divided success, the first winning while the second were rather badly beaten,
