CORRESPONDENCE.

A Job Wanted.

[To The Editor of. Hongkong Telegraph.]

Sir, I was rather amused at a paragraph in your paper of this evening regarding the political situation in England under the Labour Government. I read a short time ago an account of the Minister of Unemployment being politely pulled over the coals for

what he had done (sic). In the it was pro- House of Commons posed, but not passed, of course (owing to the majority) to reduce his salary for his conscientious work for the unemployed.

I might have missed further news on the subject, but I now see that another gentleman has taken A good contest should be seen over the position, and that the in the "A" Class June Handicap.first-named gentleman has got an Nationalist II, Christmas Chimes other good job. Is this on account and Carnival Eve will probably of incompetency?. It seems like accept here, in which case we it, doesn't it? Personally, I am shall see a very exciting race, not very surprised, as I was in the middle of the railway strike some years ago and some hard things were said against their leader.

The Novice Race should be a very interesting event with such ponies as Chesapeake Bay, Sar Francisco, Young Pretender and King's Counsel in opposition.

The Sub-Griffins Handicap "A" Class should be another good race

to watch as everal of our very best subs of the 1929-30 season will meet. Some of the best of thesc Are Monk, Thunderbolt, Done Again, Shanghai Bean and Tango.

made a poór batting show, making only 137 in the first innings when six of their ickets were taken by Booth for 49 runs.

Lancashire declared at 403 for seven wickets, Watson and Taylor having made a stand against the Oxford bowling. Watson Scored 135 before he was sent back to the pavillon, but Taylor was undefeat- ed with his score at 107.

Kent v. Essex

Kent beat Essex by 302 runs, Kent batted first and made 179, but Essex also failed to do any thing especially notable in the batting line, the whole team being dismised in the first innings for 113. Freeman took five wickets for only 39 runs. Going in again Kent put up a much better show and they declared at 338 for nine wickets. Hardinge scored 88 and Ames 72.----Essex failed even more miserably than before when they went to the wicket again, the whole team being sent back with only 102 ruris on the board. Freeman was again the most suc- cessful Kent bowler. He took six for 43 runs.

FOUNTAIN PEN. Hongkong, June 6th, 1930.

Water Polo.

Sir, May I, through the cour- tesy of your columns, comment on the complete failure of the Water Polo season which has opened without much signs of any more progress over last season's exhibi- tions. Not only have the teams decreased, but also the spectators. As a keen onlooker and promoter: of the game I think it is really dis graceful to see such a sport knock- ed on the head.

But taking the. fetes which are held at the V.R.C., it would be quite pleasing to see the same amount of onlookers at the Water Polo League games. Surely it would be very unfair to the teams competing if such a happening had to occur as to let the entire game collapse after the previous years of success.

Taking all our sports played in this Colony, we must agree that the above mentioned game in re- gard to general support is com- pletely a failure. Yours etc,

The Very Idea!

An enthusiastic golfer refused to let the yesterday's mist keep him from his game. The golfer had | bought a stock of old balls for the

occasion.

He had lost two balls when he reached the ninth hole and was looking for a third, when he found, not a ball, but a bag of golf clubs. He carried them to the next driving green and finished his round.

At the clubhouse he met a friend, blooking glum and fierce.

"What are you doing here 30 lonely 7" he asked. -

"Waiting till the mist lifts,” snapped the other.

"Come on, and I'll play a couple of holes with you meantime."

"Can't play a single stroke till the mist lifts. I laid down my clubs to look for my ball, and found my ball and lost my clubs."

CINEMA NOTES.

THREE NEW SONG HITS IN "SHANNONS OF BROADWAY.".

Three new song hits; the kind. you hear and remember, were written especially for the all- talking picture production of **The Shannons of Broadway," James Gleason's rollicking, record-break- ing stage comedy which opens on Sunday at the Queen's Theatre.

The songs, written by the famous team of Clages and Greer, were injected into Universal's film production of the "Shannóñs" by Gleason and Emmett Flynn, the director, who added several new features to the film version of the. comedy. One of these features is the singing of one of the songs, "Get Happy," by Gleason himself, something he has never attempted before.

"Get Happy" might be termed the inspirational song of the picture, while the love song is "Someone To Love Me," crooned by the youthful Johnny Breedon to Mary Philbin, the juvenile femin ine lead in the picture, The third. new song is "Living the Life of Riley," played via saxophone by Gleason, and Mrs Gleason.

Others in the cast of the picture are Harry Tyler, Gladys Crollus and Helen Mehraman, of the original New York cast of the "Shannons" when it made a record breaking run of 39 consecutive. weeks at the Martin "Beck theatre, Tom Santsthi, Charles Grapewin, Robert T. Haines, Slim Summer- ville; Tom Kennedy and Walter Brennan.
