Massey, of course, as captain, might be taken out of the acrum in which case he would see more of his men; but he is so obviously one the best forwards, that to transform him into an in- different hall-back would undoubt edly, be faulty organisation. I wonder what chances there are of W. J. Clerk ataging Д complete come-back, and that also suggests itself as a solution. About five years ago the Clerk-Morrison com- bination at the base of Hong Kong's serum was practically in-

It is the proud claim of the Island

contingent that, whereas the Kow- loonites had been, training for the tug-of-war for several weeks trying to pull down trees, etc, on the mala- land, they, the Hong Kongers, had been training on beer! But then, that is hearsay for which we cannot vouch and is dot printed as evidence against either aide. In case I.G.P., should get unduly interested in the "Frothblowers" of his rank and file (there are some high rank- ers among the Island's tug-of-war heroes), we say here and, now, that we are not available as witnesses...
