A very exciting Inter-Hong Soft-: ball game was witnessed at La Salle College yesterday, when two evenly matched teams, Unión In- surance and Green Spots met, re- sulting in a win for the latter by the narrow margin of 5 runs to 3.

The P. and O. §. 8. "Corfu” left |Singapore on Saturday and is due- here on Wednesday at about 2 p. m.
