We are expecting a representa- tive foreign team from Hong Kong tc compete in various sports. There will be probably a masónic Instal- Iation at the same time. On Easter Eve a dance is to be held in honour n: the visliors at the Klalat Club, so that much enjoyment is in store for those who want a diversion. Mr. G.. R. M. Ricketts, unt recently of Swatow, is a certain member of

the visiting team. We hope he will not be too hard on us in cricket
