THE FOOTBALL SHIELD.

FINAL.

The fact that the final tie of the Hongkong Football Shield was down for decision on Saturday attracted a great crowd to Happy Valley where the spectators were treated to an excellent game, the Albion's performance of beating the Cressy by three goals to nil being a great one. On their lengue achievements there appeared little to choose between the two teams, although it was thought that the Albion would just about get through. This, however, they more than succeeded in accom- plishing, and when the elevens entered upos the second balf of the game with the Albion's leading by a goal to nil it soon became apparent that they would carry off the trophy. By the time the whistle sounded at the finish of the game they had put on another two goals, and Foreman, their captain, was escorted to the grand stand where Mrs. Atkinson presented him with the shield and handed medals to the players, Speeches were made, and the com- petition for this season's shield ended amid the hearty cheers of players and spectators.
