From a pass by Saunders, Halls shot over the bar, and shortly afterwards Edgeler had very hard lines, heading the? ball against the upright. Leighton, who was easily the best of the R.G.A. for wards, gave Youngman a beatiful pass, but the latter shot wide. Edgeler then missed an easy chance, and Daniels took sha ball to the other end and. forced a corner. Talfourd tried a long shot, but went wide. There was no score at half
time.
83RD COY R.G.A.. RE. (R.)
It was rather unusual to see a large crowd line the Military Ground to watch a second division match, but this occurred on Saturday when the incident stuted above brought the match on the Navy Ground to an untimely end. Tha game was fairly even, each side taking turns at having long spells of pressing without searing The 63rd Cor, opened the scoring. Downs finding the net with Jones throw himself at a nice shot..
In the full longth, but just missed. second half, after doing a lot of pressing, the Engineers equalised, through Baker, and then the gunners struggled very hard to win, the R.E. goal having many escapes. Their shooting was poor, how- ever, and Jones was always very safe. Millard scored the winning goal for the sappers by a good individual effort, taking the ball right up the field before putting it into the net. Result:-R.B. (R.), 2; 83rd Co. R.G.A., I.
Referee:--Mr. Ball.
In the second half. Hollamby and Cornish stopped Halls and Edgeler when they looked dangerous, and then Sheaa became dangerous, but Gartod run out, and fisted the bull away. A long punt from Youngman, followed by a miskick by a Navy back, nearly let Saunders in, and then Talfourd cleverly stopped dangerous movement by the Navy left wing. Baunders opened the scoring for the soldiers from a scramble in goal, and | shortly afterwards Crocker stopped a shot from Leighton, but could not olear kefore Saunders rushed up and netted again. A great effort by Daniels nearly ended in the Navy scoring, but only a corner resulted. Keggy played a great game for the Navy, looking after Young.. 1310] so well that that player was put quite off his game. Just before time à free kick was awarded the soldiers in the Navy penalty area, but the referen had apparently made a mistake and Hongkong Vol 2.

R.E. v. H.K. VOLUNTEERS,
The Volunteers had out a very strong team for this match, but in spite of this only managed a very narrow vic tory over the Engineers: The R.E. re arranged their right wing while the Volunteers were reinforced by Black and McCubbin. The Volunteers soon started pressing, but offside by Robinson upset the effort. The Sappers then got away and Pearce put in a nice centre. McCubbin miskicked, but the R.E.
the gained nothing from resulting corner. Townsend, who seems able to do useful work in any position, put in some nice passes to the centre, but the Volna teer backs were very safe, and they had reliable goalkeeper behind them. The local forwards were doing good work until they got ear goal, when they either put behind, or lost the ball to Coxon.or Blumfeld. Some clever passing by the Volunteer left wing was indulged in, and then Chassels had hard lines with a good shot, which, however, narrowly missed

The above club brought the season to a close on Baturday, when the members were "at home" to their friends, and.
large number of the latter manifested their interest in the game and the club by their presence. The finals in the various competitions were played off during the afternoon, and the granes were all of a close and exciting nature. Spoon games were also played by rinks representing the Taikoo, Polica and Kowloon Clubs and proved very Mr. W. interesting and enjoyable. Davidson, vice-president of the club, welcomed the guests, and after tea and other refreshments had been served, called upon Mrs, Heron, who gracefully. presented the prizes to the winners. Mr. Davidson afterwards handed Mrs. Heron a beautiful bouquet in the name of the members, and tendered their thanks to
He also called her for her services. for three cheers for the ladies who had assisted in dispensing the tea and re- and these were heartily freshments, given. A similar compliment was ne corded to the Kowloon Club for their hospitality. The fanction was favoured with ideal weather and was heartily enjoyed, not a little of the success at tending it being due to the admirable arrangements of the hon secretary, Mr. D. S. Cooper.

The R.E. attacked strongly and it seemed highly probable that they would score, and win the match. Just before the end, how- ever, the Volunteers got the ball away, and McTavish gave Chassels a nice pasa. The latter fully atoned for his previous mistakes and scored the only goal of the match.
