Army Equalise. Exchanges were fast, and the Army were again on the offensive. Taking the ball down on the right,. Williams, when tackled by Rodger, passed neatly to MORGAN, who scored the equaliser with a hard- shot that had Gregory beaten all the way
Offside Play Spolla. Towards half-time, the Club continued to press, and Divett had hard luck with a shot that just went wide. Offside play broke up many a neat movement; and half- time arrived with the teams on level terms.
Military Sportsmanship. In the second half, the Army were early attacking, and in a raid, Macfarlan sent the ball into the goal. The referee blew, his whistle and pointed to the centre but, after Macfarlan had sporting. ly declared that he kicked the ball in, the goal was disallowed, and the Club were awarded a free bit. Many concentrated rushes made by the Army were frustrated by the Club's solid defence, and W. Reed's work was dazzling to watch.

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
As a sequel to an outbreak of fire which occurred at a kiddies' party at the residence of Mr. Langston, 287, The Peak, on December 23, during a cinematograph display, Mr. H. Landolt, manager of the Pathe Orient, Ltd, Des Voeux Road Central, was summoned before the First Magie- trate (Mr. W. Schofield) on January 6, on seven counts of alleged failure to comply with the Fire Brizade's regula- - tious governing the storing, distribution, and control of cinematograph and celluloid films. The prosecution's case was that there were definitely members of the general public present, and the room was not fit for the purpose for which it was used. Mr. H. L. Dennys, for the defence. In asking the Magistrate to Impose a nominal penalty, referred to the summonses as "malice." A full report of the case is furnished in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
On New Year's Eve, a fracas occurred on board the sa. Pentyne, and as a result, William Wishart, a seaman, was charged before the Kowloon Magistrate on January 5 with inflicting grievous bodily harm to William Davidson with a razor. It was revealed that Davidson was seriously hurt, although none of the wounds would be permanent.The. complainant, who was in a very weak condition, gave evid ence, to the effect that he remembered quarrelling with Wishart, knocking him down, and seeing him get up and walk to a locker. Witness remembered nothing more until he found himself on the bridge, all cut and bleeding pro- fusely. Both were intoxicated at the time of the affair. Taking into consideration defendant's good character, and efficiency as a seaman, the Magistrate passed sentence of one month's hard labour on January 7. The case is fully chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
A gross profit of over $800,000 was revealed at the thirteenth ordinary yearly meeting of the China Light and Power Company (1918), Ltd, held on December 31 under the chairmanship of Mr. R. G. Shewan. In the course of his speech, the Chairman sald they were now actually sup plying electricity to consumers in the Tsun Wan and Talpo Market areas, and were only waiting for the completion of the low tension distribution liness at Satin, Talpo, Sheung Shul, and Fanling. A detailed report of the meeting is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
