They do not remain at their posts stendily, but scour the country in search of provisions, treating the Chinese badly.

A number of dead and dying Russian troops have reached Newchwing from the southward, who were at first believed to be wounded brought from sons battle field, but ulti mately proved to be the victims of frost-bito,

The leading lights" for the cycling coulents will be Austen, All those, Forbes, Sinclair. and Witchell. except Anaten, perhaps, who is so fully employ ed with the curious arrangements, are doing steady work, Sinclair in samo circles being a favourite. The long distance flat-races probably lie between J. Witchell and A Humphreys, though, indeed, there are averal entries whose cupabilities are not known. One of the flat races. -mile contest, is open to soldiers and sailors. Entries, by the way, are coming in for the tug-of-war. The ligh-jump may full to Witchill or Andrews, but others are entering.

FOG ON THE CANTON RIVER.

Focibali is already finished. The final of the Shield competition marked the end of the Association season, for apparently, as was the case last year, we are to have no "Inter national" match. Does this indicate a decay of patriotism? Or is it rather a sign of a surfeit of football? There used to be some keenness in the past over Scotland v. The World STEAMSHIP "HO-NAM" AGROUND and such games. An interesting match might be' got up between Army and Navy under the Association code, if it wore not so late in the season and were the Navy not deserting us soon. In the history of the Hongkong Challenge Shield Army teams have won the trophy four tizo-G." Co., K.O.R., in 1898, "G" Co Welsh Fusiliers, in 1900, Singo Train in 1901, and A," Co., Welsh Fusiliers, in 1902. Navel teams have won three times--H.M.S. Centurion in 1897, H.M.S. Glory in 1903, and H M.S. Albion in 1904. The solitary civilian saccses, was the H.K.F.C.'s in 1899. The Club will want considerábla rainfording before it is likely to repeat its performance. In three of the last 4 years it has had the making of a good team, but has always been weak in one spot, though that spot has varied from the for. wards to the backs. Naval teams are in the ascendant just now, and the Albion's triumph was consistent with the ship's form in the Naval Lengue on this station, which it hade ut present, The Albion and Cressy meet in that competition to-day.

Tho defeat of the Rugby section of the H.K.FC. on Thursday was anticipated, for the Navy has a wonderfully strong lot to soleot. from now. However the Club was not dis- grased, though but for Pearce's good play the margin against them must have been considerably mon than the actual 2 points-the difference between a dropped goal and two tries. By the way, I wonder how long it will be loforə all goals are reduced to the valas of 2 points, how ever obtained. There is a movement in Rugby Union ranks in favour of it, and the Noribern Union, of course, adopted this system of scoring long ago. By it tries count 3 points. If con- verted an extra 2 points is added, us now; while dropped goals and all other goata equally score points. This attaches the highest value to a try, which seems right, as try-getting is the strongest proof of a team's superiority over its adversaries.

STEALING ANISHED 011.

News was received yesterday in Hongkong that the Hongkong, Canton, und Maceo Steam- boat Co.'s 3.3. Ho-nam had gong aground in the Canton River on her journey from Hong- kong to Canton on the previous night. For some days past the Caston River boots have had to contend with heavy fogs in addition to the ordinary dangers attending narigation of the waterway. From enquiries made by a repre sentative of the Daily Press it appears that the Ho-nam curato grief at the Iron Barrier in the back reach of the river, opposite Whampoa Teland.
