SPORT,

WATER POLO.

Talking of Singapore, makes me won why we never play the representa strange that our only real rival seems to he Shanghai. Last year the Manila Goli Clubs very sportingly raised a team to vitation for a return, watch in Manila, visit us, and sent as n very cordial in- but, unfortunately, it fell through, chiefly from lack of support.

We are not very enterprising in Hong kong; in spite of the fact that we have the reputation of being a wealthy Colony. One does not come across that keenness, on the part of our wealthy talps to spend some of their hard-earned wealth More on the encouragement of sport over, I fear some of them make it parti- cularly difficult for the junior nonhers of their staffs even to figure in an fater port team. With a climate like ours the very best thing he can do is to keep it and this can only be done by taking plenty of esercise. In these damp and ticky days one's energy is none too exuberant, so what we want is a little encourage. ment, not the reverse..
