THE "DIRECTORY & CHRONICLE"

FOR 1910.

A glance at a bookshelf which contains a complete set of the Directory and Chronicls from its first issue forty-eight years ago, gives one an idea of the steady growth of the foreign population in the East. When the Hongkong Daily Press Office in 1863 issued the first Directory and Chronisle of the Far East it comprised less than three hundred pages. Year by year ever since, slowly at first but in the last two decades at a much greater rate, the size of the volume has steadily increased until we have now a ponderous book of nearly two thousand pages and weighing a little over 6lbs, or six times as much as the first volume. The 1910 editio is now obtainable at every commercial centre along the coast of Asia.

The Bulls won the toss and slected to play with wind and sun behind them. The opening stages saw the Buffs aggressive, Taylor and Ryan early tasting Tugwell, A clearance was effected, but the Batis were not to be denied, and a well placed shot by Ryan resulted in a scrimmage in front of goal from which the Buffy scored. Basuming the attack, Taylor me with a slight accident to his head as the resultt of a collision with Bevan, and had to leave the Beld. He did not take long to recover, and almost immediately after hit return caught a pass from Downs and cleverly giving the defence the ge by put the soldiers two up Play continued to be very much in favour of the military team, the aun playing havoc with the naval defence, and before the interval arrived Taylor added a third and Brewster a fourth goal.
