THE SCHOOL SPORTS.

Altera lapse of four years the Hongkong Schools jalurd together on Saturday last for an Athletic Sports Meeting. That the idea was a F?palar one is evidenced by the fact that the entries for the different events reached the respectable total of 1o. The schools inking part were, the Diocesan, the Garrison, Queen's Collegs, St. Joseph's College, St. Paul's College, Victoria English Schools, and the Wanchal The attendance was Gonment School. excellent, the parents of the papfis, and their" sliters, cousins, aunts and uncles mustering in great force. On a table in the Grand Stund were exhibited the pilser, for the most part The trophies generously donated by citizen i judgement. They consisted of wach articles seem to have been chosen with very good Marical boxes, useful articles in silver ware ecluding a pair of chopsticksle a Chinese bag's race), watches, cricket bats, writing desks, field glasses, cups, egg-stands, napkin rings, scarf pins, alboms, card cases, watch chains, paint boxes, mathematical Instruments, and buckles, brenches and bangles, perfume stands, parses, and work boxes &c. (for the girls). The various officers worked like Trufas, bat their programme was "lestie "too am bidons, reeing they only sturled at p.m. It is true there was little delay be- tween the events, and they were csirted through most expeditously. A blil of a5 evenis, how- ever, with a big list of finni heats at it and 100 much to cram into a starle afternoon. There is no reason why the adair could not have been made a "whole-day"! gathering The youngsters would have anyoyed themselves nons tha less and far better.

It was at first projected that each man should play his own fastrument while competing but those responsible for the upkeep of said instruments deemed it inadvisable and the men sprinted in ordinary fashion.

There had been no friction in the matter between the Admiralty and the War Office. The latter were loquiring what it would cost to erect the barracks to be handed over, and this took time. What was wanted at the Hongkong yard was more room for machinery. The price for the barracks to be transferred had been agreed upon with the War Office. He hoped an arrangement would soon be come to with the proper owner,”and that the space required would then be available.
