Of late years the Chinese have achieved Temarkable successes in games, which they have taken up for less than 30 years. In football, baseball and tennis they have been champions in recent years and have practically defcated all the foreign teams in Hong Kong. I water polo for the first time they joined the Lengue this year, and they have shown brilliancy in their games, and will find no difficulty in becoming champions in a short time to

come.

At the recent athletic meeting they displayed their talents in other branches of sports, such as track, field

and swimming.

It is marvellous that the Chinese haye so enthusiastically taken to so many branches of foreign sport and made such rapid progress in such a short space of time.
