A word or two to Seth and Så er before the next match might be us-ful; for, with two good men in the centre of the field waiting for the ball it is a sad mistake on the part of these two outside forwards in persist in keeping it to thenuelves so much. The result is that the ball either goes be- | bind or is taken away and driven half way up the field. The R. A. played a very defensive kame from the time ibe goal was scored against them. They, however, put the hall into touch rather too frequently, and especially when it was getting near goal. Their left forward showed to advantage, as did the right back, while the play of the goalkeeper was irreproachable.

were occasionally cheered by the anlookers on the opposite side of the ground. The number of visitors occupying sea's in the mat bed was larger than usual, and from there one could distinguish quite a number of Smartly dressed

ladies sprinkled around the touch iné, eri- dently keen on the sport. The weather was beautiful, and it was an ideal afternoon for foot- ball, the air being crisp, the sky bright, and not too much wnd. After the kick-off, at 4 o'clock, and the subsequent minutes over, one could see that the match would be keenly

contested to the finish. The V. RC vigorously attacked their opponent's goal, but were repulsed each time by the able defence of laughran and Boyle, the two stalwart backs, while Spindlay, the tall-soldier in qual, did his work admirably.

The Garrison men had several very good runs up the field, but were stopped by the opportune interference of 1 apsley, the left back of the V. R. C Throughout the first half the attack. ing was done by the Recreation Club, who, if their other three forwards had been of the. same calibre as Herton and Holmes, should have proved almost irresistible. Unfortunately their outside forwards preferred playing too much with the ball in the corners of the field instead of centering before it was taken from them. The R. A. goal keeper was very handy with his feel, "ot missing a kick, unt by some very smart work on the part of Herton and lielmes, the ball had arrived about eight or ten

Accord ng, to the Chugai Shegye, the China Merchants' Steam Navigatta Company, ex- pecting that the business of the Hunan Steam ship Company will prosper in the future, has applied to the promoters of the latter company

for permission to subscribe to its shares. Sheng Hsuan-huai is also said to have in-

timated to the authorities of the new company his intention to bec me a shareholder. This noted Chinese official has opened communi. cions with the Hunan Steamship Company with a view to making a contract for the iransportation of coal and coke from 1ing hsiang by the ca pany's vessels. Before accepting the proposal, the company despatch ed its representative to South China for the purpose of investigating the actual condition of affairs bere. The proposed contract is for carrying coal to the amount of 60,000 tons a year from the place of their production to the market in Shanghai for a period of five years, In Shanghai they will be sold at four taels per ton. In fact they cost only two taels at

inglisiang but the charge for freight is just two tacis. The appearance of the new kind of coal in Shanghai will no doubt have some effect on the price of the coal fron japan.- Japan Times,
