The Juniors.

Seven games are down for the junior division. The leaders should easily beat China Athletic "B" at the Stadiumn, having previously defeated the "A" team there by three, goals to one.

The postponed game between the Royal Navy and University has la fixed for to-day. The Navy should greatly increase their goal average, South China A still the only unbeaten team in the league, are due to meet St. Joseph's op the latter's ground. The Saints will give them a good run although in the end South China should still

be unbeaten.

Other winners should be Eastern, SLI. and Club de Recreio, The R.A. and H.K.F.C. will probably share the points.

This race for ponies that have never won a steeplechase will prove interesting, and might result in a very big dividend. I see Duster and Huntington are both entered, and in spite of the fact that they have no record whatever at steeplechasing, they will carry most of the money. Diana and Siang River also ought to be in at the death, that is, if there is no hitch in the jumping. but that is hoping for too much, I am afraid..

A Book for Children.

He recommended The Little Children's Bible (Cambridge Uni- versityress), as an admirable book for children. It was written in the words of the Anthorised Version and gave enough of the four Gospels to give a connected account of the life of Christ, a few of the more easily understandable par ables, and some of the teaching. The Old Testament came under different headings, for example. Stories that Jesus would learn from His mother, and a selection of the psalms under the hend "The Hymn Book of Jesus," among others.
