SPORTING NOTES.
Preparations for the forthcoming sporting meson are well advanced, and the enthusiasm al. ready shown in all branches suggests a very buc. cessful season.
The Hongkong Cricket Leaguo land its annual meeting on Monday which was attended by re presentatives of all the senior cricket clubs There are again nine clubs participating in the competition for league honours, which is deeld. edly salinfactory, as it ensures keen interest in cricket circles. The Remnants, alds, have bona scattered, and the members have joined other clubs, two having been seen already playing for Kowloon. The Remunts' place in the League has been takon by Naval Yard, who ought to to -able to get an effective eleven from the men in

The fears that this Hongkeng Club were: going to withdraw from the longuo were not realised, and the sexier organisation will be found playing the game. It would certainly weaken cricket were the Club to drap out of the League,
The Lingue is to be congratulated on having zecaro its old oflas-bearers to continue in their posts. The Hon. Dr. Atkisson has filled the parition of President very satisfactorily, and Mr. Braidwood has made an acceptable "Vide," while it would be difficult to think of the League without Mr. Asger, who has acted as secretary since its formation in 1903.
The prospects for good cricket season are. seen not only in the steady practice going ou nightly at the nets all over the Colony, but in the enthusiasm to have the season's programmie stranged at the earliest possible opportunity, Given the same attordanes at the text meeting to récaire the valrice the fixtures should be completed then, and a start can be indo without delay. The early arranging of these rixtures will benefit the second elevens, who will thus be able to secure matches when they know what dates are available.
The Hongkong Club should to a strong, as ever this season, and with one or two new players should still provide the best ricket in the Colony, Kowloon hopes In do better this season, having gained some fresh blood in military players on the peninsula, while Civil Service ought to make a good show also. The Police will perhaps be better served when Mr. Woodcock and Mr. King return, and the military teams are certain to be in good forur from the beginning, though changes in the composition of their ranks are inevitable.
The hopes for a better football season are likely to be realised. The attendance at the League meeting on Wednesday was perhapa the largest since its formation, a fact which augurs well for the season. The first division will only produce are teams. It is unfor. innate that the Hongkong Club is the only
