SPLENDID PROSPECTS.

One of the finest boxing, pro- grammes of recent years is promis- ed for the opening tournament of the Hongkong Boxing Association, a fortnight hence..

There will be two champions- ship bouts, both of which would be good-class top-liners judging by past standards, and the "fans" may look forward confl. dently to an evening, of really good sport.

The Borderers were responsible for all the gund football in a hard fought contest, but their story was one of missed chances, not just ordinary chances, but absolute Gitters. The only players not guilty of wild shooting were Stock, and the half-back, Everest. Everest put in more good shots than any player in the forward line, apart from Stock. In one exciting spell he put in four successive drives, all of which were charged down, while soon afterwards he hit the cross-bar, with a magni- geat shot. From the rebound, Alexander was presented with an open goal from ve yards' range and missed the ball altogether.
