We thoroughly echo the sentiments of the song which says "we all love Jack," but we cannot agree with him when he throws epithets at the referee. If Mr. Oliver was not qualified for the position, he would never have been selected to fill it, and we go so far as to say that noone on the ground could have taught him the rules of the game better than he knows them himself, for he is an old and tried player, who keeps hunself well versed in all points, old and new, "of the winter sport.

As we have stated, the final match will be

played next Saturday, and preparations have

been started to agconaimodate a large crowd of spectators. On the road side of the ground the frame work of a big stand is completed, and when the seats are fixed, the erection will be capable of holding six hundred people.

Whatever the result may be, the Club deserves to win. The players have, we believe, created a recont in the Shield competitions by scoring eleven goals during the present season's ties against none by their oppratents. Hongkong has played in all four rounds; but the 38th Company, Rub, las crept up into the final by means of two byes, receiving one even in the semi-final, So it would be very "hard fines" indeed if the Club men were in lose the trophy after playing so well as to win at the ther games.

The game on Saturday had been in progress about ten minutes when Lowe cleverly scored goal for the Club. Am Arst secured the ball and fed tancock, then Hancock gave it to Danby, who made a short sun and afterwards centred to Noble; the latter tried to put the ball through, but Bowles just managed to keep it out. Love however, had sprinted in from the wing, and catching the ball on his foot just as it was about, to be kicked away, he landed R auto the net before Bowles could realise what had happened. There was nothing more scored during the first half, although both custodians were compelled to handle on more occasions than one. When the interval was called both sides were glad of the rest, for the game had been exceedingly fast.

The second half was played just as fast, and it looked as if no more goals were possible, but about, live minutes before the call of time. Danby smartly, secured on the left wing and san round all opposition; he then swerved into the centre, and when about half way between the goal-post and the corner dag, and eight or nine yards from the goal-line, he put in a shot that Bowles could not hold, and the leather twisted over his hands and fell behind him. Previous to that Looker was very smart in feigning to pass and he got through the backs and tried to scare; he kicked a little hard, how ever, and Bowles secured before Looker could reach the ball. With only a few minutes left for play, the last goal gave the Club a certain victory.

Mr. Robinson said the contention of the appellant was that He was entitled, notwith standing judgment in the High Court of Eug, land on the 22nd June, 1896, to charge interest upon the amount of the calls, 387, 10s, Payable by plaintaff to the liquidator of the Bank of China, Japan, and Straits Settlement sale named in Article 21 of the Articles the me of 10 per cent, which was the of Association. They, on the other hand, said that the debt with the interest fixed by contract. in the Articles of Association merged in the judgment, and that only the legal amount of covered as from June 22nd, 1896, that was fixed interest for the judgment debt could be re- by Order 42, Rule 16, of the High Court of England. Therefore they said that they might take their judgment debt of L402 add and, charge interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per antin and no more. Their rights under the contract were merged in their rights under the judgment. Plaintiff founded his contention that the sum of over £500 was reached upon the contract contained in Article 21 of the Articles of Association, and defendant founded his contention upon the doctrine that the debt due under the contract merged in the Judgment debt; and upon the fact that by the law of England, which was the law applicable, only as this, and that the result of only 4 per cent. 4 per cent, was due upon a judgment debt such interest being allowed was to leave the amount considerably below the appealable value-$500. Mr. Robinson proceeded to quote cases in support of his contention.

Mr. Pollock said his contention was that the interest upon the call stand by itself that it was not subsuliary. He submitted that it would be quite possible for the liquidator of the Bank to commence to-morrow an action against roon, and in that action, under the pro. visions of these Articles of Association, to re- cover against Hardoon interest at the rate of to per cent. from the 15th Nov., 1895, right up to the present date. This would bring the amount now in dispute to about the appealable amount

After having dispersed the Filipinos and taken Guadeloupe on Monday morning, the force continued the advance till the bluffs command ing Pasig were reached. Here the men camped, taking a much needed rest. On the morny, the tropps advanced, a few hundred yards in the direction of the river where it turns to Pateros and Taguig. On the extreme left were the mounted 4th Cavalry, then the rath and 22nd Infantry and Washingtons, the Oregonis being held in reserve. Lieut. Srou with twa batteries of the 6th Artillery passed along the river road and entered the valley leading oppo- site Patedos. The cavalry swung out to the south with the intention of reconnoitering the country, when they were suddenly fired upon by the enemy, a large number of whom were concealed among the bamboos. in a short space of time the firing spread all along the line and, all the men were engaged. The cavalry charged across the open fields but got such a warm reception that the horses were sent to the rear and the men advanced on foot fighting their way. It did not take long, how ever, before the Philipinos were repulsed, a number of them being drawn back across the river to Taguig, The American casualties were about seven killed and ten wounded,

Simultaneously, the gunboat Zagha de Bey which had entered The Bay on the pre- vious day and taken up a position before Pasig shelled the place and thoroughly cleared, the town. The gunboat was as close in as possible and at this time she was only about 30 yards distant from a line of trenches which contained four or five hundred men, who did their best under the circumstances and fired back at the gunboat. When the fire became too hot for them, they dispersed, running for shelter. Then three of the gallings on the gunboat were turned upon them and about half of the men were killed or wounded.

It is known that the Filipinos have a few Spanish gunboats in the lake and it has been decided to send the Laguna de Dey inquest of them, so a naval battle may be expected to take place soon. Three cascoes, stocked with provisions, were captured in the river on Tues- day. They had on board 120 Filipinos, all of whom were taken prisoners, a major and a cap. tain, being among the number. Yesterday 13 more cascoes belonging to the Filipino army, were either sunk, or capitired by the gunboat.

Such an organisation is very badly needed by the Filipinos. The Independencia also publishes a detree by Aguinaldo setting forth the pensions allowed to disabled soldiers, and officers, as well as heir widows in case of death on the battlefield.

For instance, a disabled soldier is to receive $7 per month, officers below the sink of major S15, mjurs S30 and generals $50.
