INCREASED ENTRIES.

That lawn tennis has become even more popular during the last year is suggested by the increased entries for the Tennis League," which closed last Saturday. The increase is shown in the "0" Division which may be reckoned as the first stage for a new entry and in this five new Clubs have joined for the first time, these being the Kowloon Indian Tennis Club, Filipino Club, the Ken nedy Road Married Quarters (Mili-": tary), the European Y.M.C.A., and the R.A.M.C., whilst the Chinese Recreation Ceb and the Club de Recreio have entered "two teams each in this division which total sixteen entries as against eleven of just year.

GOVERNMENT CLERK'S

LAPSE.

TEN YEARS' SERVICE SPOILED,

...A young Chinese clerk employed at the Government Analyst's Office was sentenced to two months' bard Labour yesterday by Major O. Will- son at the Central Magistracy for eerbezzlement and forgery, Defend- ant was alleged to have converted two sums of $25 each for his own use and to have given forged to cripta for them.

Mr. P. M. Hodgson, for the de- fendant, pleaded for lenimey say. ing that he had been a Government clerk for the past ten years and that' defendant's father had also been employed in the same department for 20 years. The defendant was driven to committing the crime owing to adverse circumstances and that it was his intention to replace the money at the end of the month when he received his salary.

A Chinese thought that the possession of a tram ticket entitled him to sit in a ear the whole day, or at any rate be was caught using the ticket on other than the car on SAILOR BLOUSES FOR ALL. which it was aztiginally issued. The excuse of this 23-year old man for failing to pay his tram fare was that this was his first ride.

At the Central Magistracy yester- day, Major C. Wilson disbelieved the man's story and fined him 83, or five days' imprisonment.
