THE CHAIGENTOWER CAL

The lawn tennis competition. "Kowloon / Hongkong," played at the Craigongower C.C, ground on Saturday afternoon, resulted in a victory for the former. A number of visitors. including ladies, witnessed the gaines, play at times receiving well-merito applause. Aftor the contest was over Mrs. Braidwood gave away the prizes in connection with the 1902-8 and

19034 cricket seasons, and those of the 1903 tennis tongguaticont.

Mr Anger, sterotary of the Club, explained to Mr. Braidwood and the visitors that the conditions for wiming outright the Challenge Shield, presented to the Club by Mr. E. R. Balillos, C.M.G. For the highest batting average, were that it should be wou two years in succession, or any three seasons. Mr. R. Basa nad won it three lines applause).

Mi Braidwond congratulated MR. Bus as she presented to his the handsome silver shield. Mr. B. Bas won it in the 1898.9 season. Mr. M. E. Asgar 1899-0, Mr R. Basa 100. Mr. J. P. Jordan 1901-2. and Mr. R. Busa. 1902,

The prize for the highest bowling average during the 1902-3 season was then presented to Mr. M. H. Hartean. Mr. Harteam really, was second to Mr. R. Pestonji, hat Mr. Pestonji having won this prize on a previous scension was excludos.

Mr. A. O. Brawn won the Befilios Challenge Cup for the 1903-4 season. The Cup was presented by Mr. Balilios for highest batting averagus on the same terms as the Belilies Shield.
