INCREASED ENTRIES,

Thirty woven pairs

taking part in the Hong Doubies Tourna

to members and sub- mont open scribers of the Hong Kong Cricket Club only, as against thirty-two pairs last year. Rivalry is expect ed to be very keen and the increase of entries is a healthy sign of the in the popularity of the game Colony. Last year's winners, W. B Cornsby and A. Piercy (Jardine, Mathesos) are in, and they are making a bid to win it again...... 'As a result of their success, however, they have been further handicapped so that while they owed 3/0 at year, they owe 15 this time. It will be intoreating to watch their progress this year in view of the fact that many new pairs are taking part.

Prominent players of the Colony who have entered include S. McEachran, Lt. Col. Wyatt, Rev. F. W. W. Alexander, Very Rev. A. Swann, R. M. Henderson, Lt. Healing, R. Hancock, C. C. Stark, G. W. Sewell, H. Owen Hughes, E. D. Lawrence, "A B. Raworth, J. O. Humphreys, A. D. Hum phreys and W. A. Nowers. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation hènd the list of repre- sentatives with four pairs, the Asiatic Petroleum Co., Chartered Bank and Butterfeld and Swire. coming next with three pairs each.

Handicapping is confined be tween the limits of owe 13/3 apd rec, 18/3. Lt. Col. Wyatt and Rev. F. P. W Alexander are the only ones to be handicapped owe 15/3, while at the other extreme R. M. Chaloner and H. Spicer receive 15/3. It is generally agreed that the, Tennis Sub-Committee are

familiar with the 'individusi atao- dard of their members (the tourna ments in the past have proved so by the number of close results) so that some fine struggles are expected.

Playing is commencing much earlier this time.. Last year-the start was not made until the first week of August and the Tourna ment did not conclude until early October. Provided therefore that rain dose not interfere unduly with the matches, it is expected that play will be brought to an end before August is over. The first and second rounds have been fixed to be completed by the 2nd inst. By then it will be possible to judge the chances of the successful pairs by their performances.

· ACCIDENTS · ENSUE.

West, June 99th. The industrialization of China is proceeding by such slow degrees as to be almost imperceptible. Yet in the important field of irrigation, machines are, in this neighbourhood at least, doing a large part of the work formerly done by the tread- pill. A dozen or more machine shops here now turn out an internal com- bustion engine, which will run and which drives an efficient pamp. These machines, mounted on boats, pass from place to place and con tract for irrigating the rice felds, at so much a mow. The business is cridently good, as one sees these power boats on every canal and not one which will run is idle.

The Penalty Of Progress. New machinery brings new kinds of accidents and the penalty of Progress must be paid. It seems that custom prescribes wine as part of the wages of men who irrigate the fields and these men on the boats must have their share. They often indulge in a little too much and lose that respect for the power of the machines they tend, which spolls safety. Men are frequently caught by parts of their clothing, The placements of the pairs. foli drawn to and injured in the most low:-
