FOLLOWERS OF football in the Colony will be pleased to learn that Royal Artillery are contemplat- ing entering a team in First Division of the Hong Kong Football League for the coming season.
It will be recalled that the Gunners have in the past supplied many outstanding footballers and Interporters, among whom were Allen, who repre- sented the Colony against Shanghai, and Pardoe, captain and pivot for two years against Shanghai.

team against Macao.
