Saturday's game between the Hongkong Football | Club and the Hongkong Bank sees the end of -the first post-war Rugger Season in Hongkong. Thanks to 3 Commandó Brigade it can be said that it has been a most successful sea- son and that Rugger is again on the map in Hongkong.

Outbreaks Of Hoof Passengers And Mouth Disease Held Up

~London, Mar. 5.

A new outbreak of hoof and mouth disease was 'announced today by the Ministry of Agricul- ture. A Ministry spokesman charged that the most severe incidence of the disease in Britain since 1942 was "probably brought here from South America and from the continent." He said the plague, to prevent the spread of which over 3,000 animals have been slaughtered this winter, was "not of epidemic proportions" but was of more than the average severity. This year he said fewer than 50 outbreaks were re- ported.

In contrast, he said, during. the 1912 outbreak over 300 cases were reported but neither compared to the all-time epid- emic record of 1923 when 2,000 cases were reported and over
