Only four full week-ends are left for practice before the ann-. ual Interport Rugby football match between Hong Kong and the Shanghai Rugby Union Football Club takes place, and the Club are wisely not leaving the selection of the team to a last minute final trial says the "North-China-Dally-News" of Jan- - uary 11."

Blix, who has been playing scrum-hal? throughout this season, will be in his old.position on The Rest's side on Saturday. That is wing forward and his place at scrum-half will be taken by J. Bowerman? Incidentally this is also his old position, who will be partnered by J, R. Cole.

DOUGLAS

Defends Oscar Wilde

Lord Alfred Douglas, the poet and eldest surviving son of the `eighth Marquis of Quernaberry, in a' preface to a new book on the Oscar Vilde case, defends the poet with whom he was associated. for, many years.

The book, "Bernard Shaw, Frank Barris, and Oscar Wilde (War ner Laurie), by R. H. Sherard for 17 years a close friend of Wilde. denounces the late Frank Harris's "Life" and "Confessions of Oscar Wilde," 7.

Lord Alfred in the preface' des- cribes Harris's book as “a foul libel on a great and wonderful man." peta "Private Immoralities

HAND MODELS OF ANIMALS

From Match Sticks And Pipe Cleaners!

Misa Marian Victor and Mr. John Fortescue were actors, and, while they were on tour in France Mr. Fortescue "noticed some tiny lambs that Miss Victor had made with naten sticks and cotton wool He told her how he used to make animals with pipe cleaners and bits of silk Then the idea grew thay they might try their hands at making all kinds of well-known animals

They are now hand-modellers of animals to the London Zoological Society, and Queen Mary when she bought some of their mina- tures, praised them highly.

Even big-game hunters buy these model animals, which will be displayed at the 1937 British Industries Fair, and which are as near pertection in shape, poise, colour, and skin as human skill can make them.
