Batting first, the Chinese commenced inauspiciously, losing three wickets for Some good play, however, by Ng Sue Kwong and George Lee, carried the total to 45 for the fourth wicket. Lee (not out, 32) was the top-scorer for the day, and Kwong was responsible for 21 out of the total of 8. Allan took $ wickets for 33 runs
With such a meagre total to surpass, it as generally anticipated that the military team, who have been shaping well in recent matches, would have no difficulty in winning. Events, however, prosed otherwise, for the Manchesters were only able to obtain 53 runs, 30 of Yow which was compiled by Walker.

CORRESPONDENCE.
THE WAR MEMORIAL
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "HONGKONG DAILY PREBA."]
SIR,In connection with the many pro positions that are bound to be presented as a war memorial, I beg to offer one Last suggestion, viz., that any schome shall have as its kaynote the civic better- ment of Hongkong, and Statue Square is the one logical loontion.
Few cities, if any, in the Orient con tain such a beautiful nucleur to build upon, and, in my opinion, the open spec in front of the Hongkong Club should be utilized for an ornate memorial build- ing that will harmonize with the Court. House and with the Queen's and Prince's buildings. This encompasses the square that can be made very beautiful, leaving Oke for end for definite development.
The writer suggests that Des Voeux Road is equally in need of architectural treatment. To one side is the handsome building of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. If a new building wore erected vantiguous to the Bank by closing the intervening street and carrying, on the same or similar architectural treatment, ang this would afford a background to the whole setting that would make Statue Square the equal beauty of anything similar in the world, perhaps, and a that all Hong- civic ornamentation kong, would be justly proud of. cial, with banks, officos, etc., or house a This now building could be cominer- theatre, library and museum, as suggest ed by Mr. Holyoak. Or the Theatre or Library, or such, could occupy the front. space before the Club, or, the Hongkong Club could dispose of their present site and erect a beautiful now Club-house on the area in front, while the new building to the rear, as suggested, on the precont scheme.
