A better match was seen in the same event between E. C. Fincher and H. Yoshida, which resulted in a win for the former, as expected. Yoshida, however, gave his oppon- ent a very good run and snatched 10.00 the opening set. After that Fincher had control of the game and took the next three sets. In the last

Continuing the pressure, the visitors sent behind, after which the Punjabis almost for the first time invaded the visitors' territory, where, following a free kick in their favour, a good. shot was well saved by the goal- Keeper. Keeping up the attack the Punjabis sent behind the sticks. The visitors had a brief spell at the other end, only to see the soldiers' outside right break away with a solo run down the field and, centring almost uncannily; enabl÷d the outside left to score. "Less than a minute later the Punjabis swoop- ed down on the Macno goal and equalised the scores two gools each. Having tasted blood the Punjabis returned as speedily as before and made the score 3-2 in their favour-much to the delight" of the regimental barrackers,

CORRESPONDENCE,

THE SCOTTISH CUP.

It had been suggested that D. R. Jardine, who is mentioned in some quarters as a possible leader of the English team which is to visit Australia at the end of the summer, might be asked to act as akipper of the Surrey team this season with a view to gaining experience in captaincy.

Mr. Fender has led the Surrey team since 1991, and his methodi

Mr. Lee Mishkin states in the New York Tribune (Paris edition) that the novelist told him that in this work he has deserted sociologi- cal subjects for the fantastic the style of "The Island of Dr Moreau" and "The War of the Worlds."-Central News.

The news that Mr. Wells is go- ing back to the novel of fantastic imagination will excite a world- wide public, for it was by this kind of fiction that he created for him- self an international repute. It is still chiefly by virtue of it that he holds his large following on the Continent to-day.

The visitors endeavoured to break' the sequence of goals against them, and gained a futile corner, follow- ing which the ball was sent behind. Then back came the Punjabis, a most exciting scrimmage occurring right in front of the Macao goal which fell for the fourth time, mak- ing the score 4-2 in favour of the soldiers-a reverso of fortune with a vengeance!
