It is a fit ting tribute to the Scottish Inter- national serum-half after his dazzl ing play in the last Interport game in Hong Kong and it was largely due to his brillianco that Hong Kong ran up a record score for the series. Selby succeeds Dr. J. H. MoElqey in the captaincy.

houses to come to a satisfactory arrangement whereby the distribu- tion of water passing through the Government meter in each house may be properly determined.

To compel landlords to instal meters is a matter that is beset with many difficulties, as it can cerns not only houses in the rider- main districts but also houses out- sido them, and it aled affects exist- ing unictered houses as well a new houses that may be built in the future. While we have every sympathy for the poor who, with- out meters, would have to obtain their water Hotely from the street- fountains, we find ourselves unable to support the request; as we need more time to go further into the question. Meanwhile, we commend the roquest to the sympathetic con sideration of the Government.
