Fory keen interest is being taken by local anglers in the second fishing com- petition, which has been arranged by the Hongkong Angling Club to take place in the vicinity of the Taikoo Dock to-night. No fewer than.34 entries have been re 'ceived by Mr. E. B. C. Hornell, the Hon.

LAWN BOWLS INTERPORT.

THE FIXTURES ARRANGED BY

SHANGHAI,

The Hon. Secretary of the Hongkong Lawn Bowls Association (F. O. J. Tacchi) has received a letter from the Shanghai Lawn Bowls Association in coa- nection with the forthcoming bowls interport which is to be played between Hongkong and Shanghai at the Northern port in the middle of September...

The letter encloses the interport fxtures arranged by Shanghai, and which

read as under :- Friday, September 10th:-

Practice Gamo. Saturday, September 11th:-

Hongkong v. Hankow (on Shanghai

Lawn Bowls Green). Sunday, September 19th:-

Shanghai B.C. v.. Hongkong and Hankow (on Hongkew greens). Monday, September 13th

In the previous announcement made in the local press regarding this competition it was stated that fishing boats, worm bait and lines would be provided withaus cost to competitors. However, in view of the unexpectedly large number of entrics, we are asked to state that. although the Committee hopes to obtain Sshing boats for all competitors, it is doubted whether there will be sufficient Chinese, fishing lines to go around. There- fore, any competitèrs possessing their own hand lines would greatly oblige the Committee if they bring them along to night.

FINE MATCH YESTERDAY.

In a match, where the difference in atrength of the two teams was small, the Victoria Recreation Club met the Kow. loon British School Former Pupils' Asso ciation Ayesterday at the V.R.C. in- an intercating league match They won, after many excellent exchanges by the one solitary goal scored in the match.

The Club scored through Laing in the first minute's play. At the first rush, Brodie secured the ball on the right side of K.B.S, goal. post being followed by both his opponents backs. This mistake cost the KB.3. the match. Laing was left unmarked and he converted the pass to him. S

Thereafter KBS had the better of exchanges in the first half, but failed to score. Play in the second hall was faster and both goallies were frequently called upon to save difficult shote.

For the winners Garrod and Stewart played best while Railton appeared to be the outstanding player for K.B.8.

VR.C.'s combination appeared to be the superior...

MAKING FUN OF THE ENGLISHMAN.

"SILLY ASS" CARICATURES IN AMERICAN PLAYS.

MR. JOHN DEVERELL AND THE MORMONS.

"The stage Englishman in America:8 like no person on earth. The English ally has has been so overdone that American audiences must think we are all insane."

This remark was made by Mr. John' Doverell, the English comedian, who has just returned to England from a forty wecks' tour of the United States.

Handsome Mormona."

"At the same time," he continued, *an American audience is the hardest in the world, and they are not nearly so receptive as the English. The best people in the States from a theatrical point of view are the Mormons. We had a long season in Salt Lake City, and were a great success.

They are delightful people; I think the most handsome I have seen. ***** I think that the American 'sense of humour is inferior to ours. The stage funny stuff' that they admire most is rather crude and ds far as I could gather they have little appreciation for polished humour. Everything is carried a little too far to be really good.

All their great comedians are what I call low comedians in their musical shows, and they have hardly anyone of a humorous nature in a straight' show. They seem to like English fup, however, especially of the silly ass type, and they are very keen on English artists.

"I was surprised to find the American theatre so much alive. On the night we opened in New York there were ten other first nights.

"They don't put up with a bad show for long, and I saw several plays dis appear after one night's run!" As some of the plays cost hundreds to produce, a lot of money must be lost on Broadway in a very short time, English in Hollywood.

"In Hollywood there is quite a colony of English artists; in fact you find them everywhere. Of course, we had to do what all English visitors do, and pay a visit to Doug and Mary. Hollywood is just like one huge family party. Every- one knows everybody else by his Chris tian name, and they have the most gorgeous dinner parties, where you meet everyone.

14 New York has scme very fine charac ter actors, but they are very hard up for juveniles. These parts are nearly always played by the American invasion England, I think that the interchange is more or less equal.
