The saving in time effected by shipping via Seattle means quicker deliveries, less "in transit" time and proportionate savings in insurance and interest charges. Are YOU enjoying these advantages?

His club form is such as to offer no reasonable alternative, and it is my opinion, for what it la worth, that the selectors should concen- trate on club form in making their final decisions.

Another trial team has been chosen for next Wednesday, and there can be little doubt that this constitutes the best eleven chosen so far.

It is as follows:

Clark (Police); Wynne (Police),

Bishop (Club);

Everest (K.0.9.B.),

McKelvio (Kowloon), Lam. Yuk-ying (Chinese Ath.); Barkham (Navy),

Fung King-cheong (8. China), Gosano (Recreio),

Suen Kom-shun (Chinese Ath.) Chan Kwong-ul (Chinose Ath.).
