A suggestion has been forwarded to Hongkong to have the annual rifle match between Singa- pore, Hongkong and Shanghal at a rather esriler date than last y Orginally the match was fixture for the first fortnight in May, but owing to the cancelling of poe of the matches through the miscursing of a letter sent to Shang- bal, the addresses belog absent, the match was postponed ill fater in the year, when it was refired. Slece then nothing has been done to bring the match back to its original place in the year. It is, however, felt that an annual event should not lie ever all the year is so nearly spent.
