"Official Fixtures For Saturday.

SPEY ROYAL CUP.

Open Championship Making Slow Progress.

[By "Short Head."]

I have been officially informed that the fixtures postponed last Saturday on account of the ty- phoon will hold good this week, so that Saturday's list reads:-

Division I.

·Civil Service G.C. v. Craigengower

C.C..

Police R.C. v. Kowloon C.C. Kowloon B.G.C. v. Taikoo R.C.

Division II.

-Craigengower C.C. v. East Point

R.C.

Taikoo R.C. v. Club de Recreio Kowloon C.C. v. Yacht Club. Kowloon B.G.C. v. Clvil Service

C.C. (at Kowloon Dock),

Notes on these matches appear ed last Friday in this column and need not be repeated. It has been commented, however, that there is no need to take the Civil Ser- vice second string all the way to Kowloon Dock to play the Bowling Green Club, as this match could easily take place on the following "Saturday when both teams are disengaged. Be that as it may, I still hold that the change of venue from the Bowling Green Club to the Kowloon Dock will favour the Civil Service more than the Bowling Green by whom the "long beads" at the Dock will not be appreciated, especially if the going is heavy.

Spey Royal Cup.

The draw for the Spey Royal -Cup having been made, the vari- ous Clubs have been officially cir- 'cularised that they can make mutual arrangements with their opponents to play off the ties on
