A WHOLE. WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

Nearly 'seven months ago, Mr. Douglas G. Carstairs; Area Manager of the Navy, Army and Air Force Institute, Hong Kong, was found dead in bed with a terrible stab wound in his abdomen at 2, Luna Building, Kimberley Road. The affair was a baffling mystery, and after vigilant inves- tigations, the Police have decided to hold an inquest, the date of which has been fixed for December 17. A report is con- tained in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL..

The new Aberdeen Valley Reservoir was officially opened by His Excellency the Governor (Sir William Peel, K.C.M.G., K.B.E.) on December 15. Sir William pald great tribute to the splendid work of the P.W.D. Engineers, to The whom, he declared, the Colony owed a great debt. Director of Public Works (the Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy, C.B.E.) gave an interesting survey of the dam, and the benefits that would follow its installation. A full report is contained in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The Chinese football dispute has come to an end at last. The Football Association are standing firm by their rights as

regards football, and the Chinese Amateur Athletic Federation, whose influence over the Chinese Clubs had brought about the dispute, is politely but, never- theless forcefully informed that it is an unrecognised body in the eyes of the Football Association. The protracted correspondence is at the end. A full report of the F.A.'s decision is chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

The fourteenth extra race meeting held at Happy Valley on December 12 rang down the curtain on a year's racing. Mr. L. G. Frost had a great day, winning four races in succession, paying over $35 on Pride of Tsingtao in the fourth race. A sensation was caused in the Autumn Cham- pions, when Sitting Bull, considered to be a cast-iron cer- tainty, finished up last but one in a field of five. Orlando, a great favourite, made a welcome come-back in the last race, paying $58,80 for a win, and $13.50 for a place. The rider was Y. M. Loo. A full report is contained in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

December 12 (Saturday) saw the closing day of the Kowloon Bowling Green Club, after a most successful ser“. son. There was a large gathering Including a goodly sprinkling of ladies. A match was played over eight rinks, between the President's team and the Vice-President's team, The resulting in a win for the former by five shots only, President (Mr. G. E. F. Thompson) advocated the exten- sion of friendly games, which added to the bowling and social attractions of the Club. A Records Board was un- veiled by Mr. A. O. Brawn, President of the Lawn Bowls Association. A detailed report is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
