One or two incidents of a very interesting nature took place, the outstanding probably being the surprising win of the Kowloon C.C. over the Police, who quite recently had brought the all-conquering march of the Recreio to an end. This made the victory established by the mainland team all the more meri- terious.

Another incident that calls for mention was the supreme effort made by the gallant Kowloon Docks team to snatch vic- They only surrendered the tory from the Bowling Green.

SHERRIFF CREEPS UP ON CHALMERS

A. H. BASTO STILL UNDEFEATED

THE crushing defeat of the Police R.C. by the Kowloon CC. last Saturday resulted in J. Shepherd losing his 100 per cent. premier league skips record, thus leaving U. M. Omar the only skip with this honour.

J. Chalmers still holds the premier position in the junior G. E. league, although he suffered his first defeat last week. Sherriff was successful and is now only one point behind the leader. A H. Basto retained his 100 per cent. record, while T- Cair recorded his first win,

Two new skips made their debut in the junior division, E. Kern and R. Wallace, the former inauspiciously but the latter with success-

The following are the complete records of every skip for the 1935 season:
