The defence was good hut with no: one outstanding Ir was noticeable that Watson was inclin- red to wander up the field too much; he should not do this against a speedy forward line.

Heath in goal came out of the game with credit but he did not have so much to do as the Chinese goalie, and his only fault, if it may be called so, was an fa- clination to balloon the ball from a place kick. Distance is what is required, not height.

The Chinese team left this morning for Manila, where they are to compete in the Far Eastern Olympic sports. Altogether seventeen footballers are making the journey.

Hongkong, was yesterday lionour- ed by the visit of Charles Paddock and Loret Murchison, famous American sprinters who have been breaking thoru records at Shanghai. While the ternis tournament was in progress they paid a visit to the, H.K.0.0. where a small crowd of potential Portuguese champions went in for some hero-worshipping. As they both carried spiked shoes under their arms and were in coloured jerseys, it was thought that they might be seen in action but this was not to be as matches were being played all over the ground. They sat in the pavilion for some time and left.

This morning, they left by the Empress of Canada, which brought them here, en route for Manila, where they are probably giving an edlibition in connection with the Far East Olympiad.

The figures of the records put up at St. John's University, Shanghai, were as follow:-

Murchison :-80 metres in 8.3/5. secs. against the former record of 19.2/5. sees. and 180 metres in

14 secs, against 14.4/5 secs.

Paddock-00 metres in 0.4/5. Seus against. 10.2/5. move.: 160 metres in 17 sees. against 18.2/5.

This morning it was learned that the Empress of Canads would not be leaving till Ave this afternoon.

Mr. Hawkins, one of the United States Consuls, informed the "China Mail" that the arrival of Paddock and Murchison had not been prepared for No message had come on ahead and nothing in the shape of entertainment had been arranged as it was thought that they would leave for Manila this morning.

Inquiries were made to ascertain if the sprinters were going to give any exhibition but no information was forthcoming.
