LOCAL SPORT.

Next Wednesday, at 9 p.m., the new Kowloon Cricket Club hold a meeting, in the Seamen's: Institute, Kowloon, at which the question of affiliating with tho Kowloon Dock Club will be discussed. Kowloon should be able to pat forward a very fair eleven-but first of all, of course, the Government will have to be ap proached with a view of securing a piece of ground to play on. Happy Valley is out of the question for a large number of Kowloon residents. As it is generally understood that a portion of the new King's Park is to be utilised for games, the Club's application will probably be favourably received, though, indeed they may have to wait till next season for anything better than a practice ground. We may look forward to Hongkong sending a team over to the Peninsula, and vice veren, in the

1905-06 season.

The Hongkong Football Club's Rugger to bids to be a very strong, one. There are some new forwards. Charl is captain vice Sandford: and Crofton secretary vice Chard. The suceoss of the season, of course, rests in a great measure with the Fleet, and “the Admiral," according to one of the Club's players, "is very fond of the su. Nevertheless the Rugger prospects, as always, are better then the Soccer prospects.

The following are the six-a-side football teams:

H. C. Sandford's Team-H. C. Sandford (capt.), J. Clark, H. E. Rowley, J. P. Jordan, E. Rogers, H. F. Hickman.

A. Boyd's Team-A Boyd (capt.) B. Han cock, H. A. Seth, H. C. Sayer, C. H. R. Chesney. A. N. Humphreys.

SUPREME COURT.

Friday, 30th Soptember,

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1ST, 1904.

IN SUMMARY JURISDICTION. BEFORE HIS HONOUR T. SERCOMUS SMITH (PUISNE JUDGE.)

A LUST PROMISSORY NOTE, M. Hoosen sued R. Soonderan for 350 due on a promissory note.

Plaintiff staled that about the end of June last he borrowed $100 from Khair Singh of the Opium Farm, with consent of the defendant to pay off a promissory note for which they were jointly liable and which was sigued by hire and by the defendant. For this sum of $100 plaintiff gave a promissory note, signed by him only, to Khair Singh, and the defendant gare plaintiff a promissory note far S50. The original promissory note was toru ap. The reason for redeeming the original promissory note and signing now one was that the intorest they had had to pay was exorbitant. Ever since the signing of the note, the defendant had been paying interest to Khair Singh for 850. At the end of August plaintiff discovered that he had lost defendant's promissory note for $50. As soon as possible after his discovery--he boliered it was the same day--he informed the defondant of the loss of his promissory note, and the deferlant said, I will not get you into trouble; I will give you a promissory note or an IO.U." Defendunt, however, did not do so, but put him off froin time to time. No action was brought on the original promisory note; they borrowed the money to pay it because the interest on it was too high.

The defendant in lis evidence doposed that each of them gave a promissory note for $50: Both these promissory notes were handed over to Khair Singh, and they received from him the original promissory note for $100. This co te was destroyed in his presence in the His* Hongkong Hotol.

We extract the following paragraphis from the admirably compiled Report of the Regis trar of Imports and Exports, on the trade of Singapore during 1903 ;--- -

The trade of the year 1943 cannot be termed entisfactory.

Imports record a fair expansion generally in quantities and values, but exports show an actual dollar decrcase.

The rise in import dollar value was over 8 per cent, and in sterling valug arly 124 per cent.,
