--- Not often-in-history-have there.been invaders who were welcomed. Hong Kong is now providing an instance. The first of more than one batch of Shanghailanders, who go and come to try conclusions on the fields of sport, has already arrived. For practical purposes, it is the beginping of “the season in this Colony. And
you can read all about this festival of lawn bowls, with its many sidelights, in the "Overland China Mail."
This publication, needless to cay, is the only Hong Kong weekly news' budget with pictures. The current number, as stated, synchronises with the commencement of the annual time of busy days and hard work. It is just the right time to begin a subscription to the "Overland China Mail," which will contain more and more to read as each week passes.
As usual, the," Overland" touches on all primary local topics, such as matters of Government, the agitation of Communists, meetings of Clubs (recreation, social and other. wise), marriages and so forth. This number contains the nowadays rare speech of a tongue-tied Government officer speaking his mind.
Then, again, there is the political news, dealing with the campaign of the "Ironsides" and the steps taken by Hong Kong's neighbour, Canton, and also the National Government, to suppress the rising. In fact, the "Overland". lives up to its reputation of giving you all the news. Be certain of getting your copy.
