A Great Game..
It was a great crowd that assembled at the Happy Valley on Saturday afternoon to witness the final of the above tie,, Long before the time set apart for the kick off a great crowd vended their way in rickshas, chairs and carriages, and when the teams faced each other, under the whistle of Mr, Cook, 14.M.S. Terrible, the crowd was estimated at seven in eight thousand people.

Shortly after His Lordship said Those actions are the the Tai Cheong shut out her green and showed outcome of a collision or collisions that took her red light.

Suddenly the Tai Cheong Beiner Point is not named on the chart, but shut out her red light and showed her green- in a point about half-way between Quarry-Point. The helm of the Sky imstud was put hard apott. and North Point on the northern share of and her engines full speed astem, but the Hongkong. It appears from the pleadings collision occured. Such am the two stories, and evidence that, on the evening in question, and having once arrived at the conclusion that the German steamer Tai Chelieg was on a the collision occurred-somewhere about where voyage from Hongkong to Swatow, au 1 that the Skramstad says it did it is obvious that of the Norwegian steamer Skemistad was on her the two suggested courses that spoken, to by way from Amoy to nigkong in ballast. the Skramlad is the only possible one, and About the time, above mentioned, the two ves in this opinion. 1 am supported by my sels collided and a third vessel, namely the assessors. On the evidence no other grounds 66. Perla, which was following, ran into of fault or default arise. The result, therefore, the Tai Cheong and glanced off on to the is that the Tai Cheong is solely 'to blame, and' Skramitad. Five writs were taken out, namely will be condemned in costs, and there will be Nos. 12 and 14 of 1901 being cross actions the usual reference to the Registrar and between the Perla and Tat Chiong, and merchants if necessary. · 1- may mention that Nos. 13, 15 and 16 being, actions" between the one of my assessors was of opinion that if the Tai Cheong and Skramstad. By consent, the Tai Cheong had let go her anchor before the three last actions were consolidated, and it collision it would have minimised the force was ordered that they should be tried first and of the blow, the other two should stand over outil the 'decision in the Tat Cheong and Skranistad actions had been, delivered. The case came on for hearing before myself and two nasessors. Although, as is usual, each side attributes many faults to the other, yet in this case there ate, really only two questions to be considered and those are (1) the actual place of collision, and (2) the course taken by the Skramstad after getting through Lai Mun
and the course taken by the Tai Cheong, after pass- ing Blackhead's point. That is practically the course taken by each vessel after sighting the other. Now, sith regard to the first point, it was contended on behalf of the Tai Cheong that the collision took place about 300 yards from the northern shore of Hongkong, and, that being so, the Skranstad was on her wrong side of the channel, having regard to Article 25 of the Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, and so was to blame. In support of this view there was the evidence of the Captain of the Tai Cheong, but I think it was of a very unsatisfactory nature both as regards his oral evidence and the course he drew on
a chart; in fact his own counsel had to make some apology for him. On the other hand, the evidence for the Stramstad makes it quite clear to me that the collision took place much farther off the Borthern short of Hongkong than the Captain “of the Tai Chiong states. It is perfectly certain that, after the actual moment of contact, the

This is bome out by the evidence of the second engineer of the Skram- riad, who states that his engines were going astern from 5.45 p.m. to 6,7 p.m. In addition to this, there is the evidence of a petty officer from H.M;S, Humber, who is an inde pendent witness, and who was in a boat and watched the whole thing. It is quite possible bis ideas of distance are not quite correct, but I see no reason to doubt the main facts of his story. The question of narrow does not arise in the case, as lam of opinion that the 'Skram- stad was not on the wrong side of the channel, but was at a point considerably north of the point indicated by the Captain of the Tal Cheong Although this is a question of fact, I may say that my assessors agree with me entirely that being so I now find", that even - sup- posing it to be a narrow channel, a point which i do not decide, the Strausted cannot

It has been written that A Co., were looked upon as favourites. I think, not. The Glory after accounting for the Club were very strong. ly fancied; and the dollars were there to sup port them.
-
A Co. were, decidedly the heavier team and even int. But it is patent to any follower of the game that a cup tie will always upset the trest of teams, for I think that Glory were by far smarter as a team than A Co, but with extra weight the A Co. adopted the hustling kick and rush game.
After the struggle Mrs Stewart Lockhart, wife of the future Commissioner of Wei Hai Wai; presented the shield and gold badges to the winners. The skipper of the eleven in return presented a very handsome bouquet.
The Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart replied on behalf of Mrs. Lockhart.
Whilst sympathising with the lasers he warmly congratulated the winners and also referred to Mr. Frank Browne' in the most glowing terms for the very competent way the arrangements had been carried out.

Of course having come to the con clusion that the account of the Tui Cheong as to the place of collision is incorrect, I have to examine closely the evidence on her behalf As to her manœuvres. According to the Tai Cheong, the red light of the Skram- stad was frit sighted, 14 miles of, about three points on the starboard bow. The Fat Cheong then ported and the Skramstad opened her green light.. The Tai Cheong blew one blast and then went full speed astern and hard apart.
