Hongkong CC ground was so wet that! it gave an undoubted advantage to one side High scores being the rale on the University ground I would not like to venture on the statement that the wet ground and the slippery ball had mitch! to do, with the scoring there no Saturday. It did not rain so much in Kowloon a it did in Hongkong, and the R.E., who had expected that their League match. against Kowloon would be postponed on account of the weather, found themselves forced to play with only nine men. Taken altogether, the cricket did not lack in, interest

}

The Kowloon Club found no difficulty in gaining a decision over the Royal Engineers, who fared very badly when In the facing Pestonji and Tayler. ordinary course of events, Wahl and Waller, who opened the R.E. innings, should have been able to give their side. a good start. This pair have boon the mainstay of the Engineers in batting this year, and their dismissal so early in the game was a great blow to their aide. Lawrence made 30 rune by bard hitting.. It was very remarkable that as many as five pen on the side failed to get even a single ran. At one stage the R. E. had three wickets down for 38 runs, and that Pestonji and Tayler were able to dispose of the remaining 6 for only 2 runs is a feat of which they may justly feel proud. It was a sorry procession to and from the wickets.

Kowloon started none too well, but a very vigorous display by James put the issue beyond all doubt. That batsman must have found the bowling very easy' indeed, for he proceeded to pulverise it less to his heart's content, getting no than 11 boundary shots. James' innings. was his biggest for a long time, and hel must henceforth be added to the Kowlcom quartette-Stapleton, De Sousa, Tayler and Robinson-who are good enough for 30 runs eath, or thereabouts, in ordinary circumstances James broke the bowling down so that Macaskill, Taylor and Robinson were able to increase their aver- ages materially

AN ANCIENT AND A FISH-LIKE

SMELL

Two Chinese wore charged with bawk- ing fish without a licence in Sairingpun market.

Defendants denied the charge, stating that they were going home when › constable arrested them.

Inspector Macdonald asserted that de- fendants were selling fish and, to prove chris, produced some money covered with fish scales, from. defendant's pockets. Witness further demonstrated the justice of the charge by smelling the cops of one of the defendant's a disty, torn and med bespattered piece of clothing-and exclaming It smells of fish, Would your Worship like to amel the coat 1

Wolfe: If you are satisfied with the defendant $95; in default, six weeks' hard labour.

UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF

GLASS

A Chinese was charged with being în unlawful possessión of six panes of glass. Sergeant Fallon stated that, while on duty in Connaught Road Central early yesterday morning, be observed defendant walking along the road with a parcel under his arpi. Witness stopped him and examined the contents.. Defendant in- formed him that he picked up the glass, and took witness to a godown in the same road, where some panes were miss ing from a window. When defendant was searched at the Police Station knife, believed to be used for opening. windows, was found on him.

The Nary team is becoming more and more disappointing, and all their sup porters whose faith in the team was, I waiting maintain, well-founded are anxiously for the turn of the tide. The team started the League season badly by letting Kowloon beat them, and then gave themselves no chance of beating the Civil Service by declaring their innings closed balf-an-bour too late..

SCOTTISH HEROISM. ALFRENCH TRIBUTES

A striking illustration of the entante cordiale prevailing among the British and. French troops in France is furnished by ... the following letter, which the general. commanding the 17th (French) Division bag sent to the general in command of the 15th (Scottish) Division.

My General,-After relieving your division in the pursuit on the Vesle, I established my beadquarters at Butancy. I found there the traces, still fresh, of the exploits of your Scottish soldiers, and the officers of my staff were able to sce clearly what hard fighting you had to gain possession of the village and; above all, of the park.

Wishing to leave on the spat some' fast- ing tribute to the bravery of your soldiers, I entrusted to one of my officers -Lieutenant Rene Punux-the teak of efecting there, with the material at band, a small monument emblematic of the borage and admiration of my division for yours.

This monument has on it a medallion ca which are inscribed thistles and roses, and beneath the words ... "Here the noble Thistle of Scotland will flourish for, ever among the reses of France 17th (French) Division

to

13th (Scottish) Division."

This monument was erected on the bigbest point of the plateau, where we found the- body of the Scottish soldier who had! advanced the farthest (on July 28th, 1918, Buzancy). I thought you would be gladi to bave a few copies of the photograph,. which I send you herewith. They conver to you, together with the memories which. I have kept of the short meeting at Viazy, the expression of my esteem and my ad · miration for your valiant division.

Will you please accept, dear General, the expression of my sincere regards? "
