In the first half the Club were played on January 23:- early pressing, land were the superior team. Raid after "raid was made on the Navy goal, but offside play, prevented numerous movements from materialising in the circle. Combining well the Club forwards rushed down, and forced a corner. From the re- sultant hit by Tetley, the ball went to DIVETT, who netted giving the Club the lead. Shortly after, DIVETT, :aining possession from a pass from Owen Hughes on the right, went in on his own to score the Club's second goal. The Club maintained pressure, and a hot shot from Francis, rebounded into play. Snapping up the opportun- ity, EVANS rushed in to score for the Club giving them a three goals

The Navy fielded a full term, but the Selected Team, after a long de- lay, were forced to start with a man missing. The absence of Howe and A. V. Gosano, was plain- ly felt, and McKelvis had to move up to the centre-forward position and let Skinner (Club) play centre-half.

Sheppard and Duncan at left wing did not give a very dashing display, and McKelvie, who is a trifie slow for centre-forward, missed several good scoring portunities.

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.
A distrous fire, the first, tragedy of the year in that category, broke out in a cotton quilt shop in Shanghai Street, Kowloon on the night of January 9, claiming four victims, a woman and her three children. Beginning on the ground flour of the building, the conflagration rapidly spread to the upper floors, completely destroying wooden staircases, thus cutting off the occupants' only means of escape. After the fire had been extinguished three Chinese firemen were placed under arrest for alleged looting. A full story of the tragedy is chamleled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL
A Coroner's enquiry into the death of Revenue Officer Nicholas James Young, who was found lying dead on the hillside near the Lai Chi Kok Jall on November 4, 1981, was conducted by Mr. J. A. Fraser in the Kowloon Magistracy on January 11. The widow, Mrs. Young, in a dramatic testimony, denied that matrimonial troubles were entirely "responsible for the tragedy, and referred, in an outburst, to the Revenue Department. A few days before his death, deceased, had not been living with her at their fat. She had no reason to think that he would commit suicide; in fact he used to scorn it. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL furnishes a detailed report.
With the prevailing interest that is being taken in the development of the agricultural resources of the Colony keen interest and support was accorded to the fifth annual Show arranged by the New Territories Agricultural Asso": ciation at Shek Wa Hul, Sheung Shul, on January 9. His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Peel, opened the Show and in his speech, referred to the steady development of agriculture. A full report is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
A large and distinguished assembly gathered in the Great Hall of the Hong Kong University on January 11, for the 23rd Congregation of degrees. A procession of pro- minent officials and citizens, headed by the Chancellor, Sir William Peel, and the Vice-Chancellor. Sir William Hornell, heralded the opening of the Congregation, after which the Vice-Chancellor delivered a stirring address. A full account is published in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,"
