INTERPORT GOLF.

HONGKONG WIN IN A POOR COMPETITION,

Shanghai, Received May 24, The Interport Golf contest was sensational for the poor diaplaya given to-day.

Captain Gardner (Hongkong) was the best in the card "competition, but he was 14 over" bogey."

The Kiangwan links were in fine condition following the recent heavy rains. It was a day of sunshine, tat ä cross wind was blowing. Hongkong failed to keep to the fairway, and it was obvious that the light puzzled them in approaching. The scores were :-

Hongkong......518. Tientsin..............5.1. Shanghai........... 534. Shanghai Juniors.....585.

Hongkong's score was made up as follows:

Capt. Gardner.........168.

Mr. K.M. Camming...173. Mr. J. Clark........

Mr. T.. Hill (Hongkong), 179; and Mr. T.S. For- rest (Hongkong), 190: were counted out.

INTERPORT SHOOTING.

SINGAPORE TIES WITH SHANGHAI,

Romarkable Shooting by a Lady.

The Interport Shoot has been fired off and Singapore has made a score of 042. The weather was most brilli- ant and the conditions perfect for the event.

Miss Kerr, the first lady to be included in the team, was the best shot; she scored 34 at the 800 yards.

Penang fires off on Tuesday.

The Singapore score is identical with that of Shanghai. Hongkong's total was 927. Shanghai won last year with a score of 952).

These mines, too, are actually starved to the extent of lack of even a sufficiency of the most simple tools to work them! Little wonder that the annual revenue derived from their out- put is returned at the absurd figure of £10,000!

But if we turn from the pro- spects of investors in Chinese securities to those of British finance and enterprise, there we find that if these are to recover the importance which up to recent years they have always maintained, it must be through our bankers, contractors, and merchanta' prompt and

Native Co-operation. As to any lingering feeling of hostility to foreign enterprises, some of the most solid men in Southern China, backed by numer. ous wealthy native firms of bigh standing in Canton, Hongkong, Singapore, and elsewhere, are about to negotiate for financial co-operation in London in order to secure some of the profitable undertakinge for which there is cow so good an opportunity. This would be highly desirable if only because it would put an end to the practice of German, Japanese, and other foreign firms borrow ing money at a moderate rate in
