With a view to promoting the friendly rivalry which has exist- ed in various forms of sport for many years past between Canton and Hongkong, it has been decided to Issue invitations to various Hongkong Clubs to visit. Canton during the season to play hockey and soccer.
Although the total number of playing members of the Shamcen Sports Club does not exceed twenty, it is really gratifying to note that for several years past the little island has always been able to give a good account of itself against visitors, and it is to be hoped that this year will not prove an exception. The great difficulty for the best players is to get sufficient practice, and it has
in this direction been
that Shameen's weakness has lain, ground facilities are also limited, and it is dimeult for any in- dividual to get more than one game of each branch of sport in any week,
SOCCER PROSPECTS.
Shameen League Soccer will be starting shortly, and from what has been whispered, the present holders of the Shield, the Shameen Sports Club, will have a stiff fight to hold it again this year against one or two. of the Navy teams, which are in process of getting together.
The Portuguese will not be ontoring a team again, owing to the difficulty in getting together a sufficiently strong side.
The feeling is that Shamben will be able to fold a
stronger hockey team that last year, with „the addition of one or two now players, and it is folt that the season will be a brisk one for all concerned. It is a pity that the Chinese Clubs in the city do not take to the game, which should be admirably suited to the Chiese, who could take up for their lack

The report inter alia reads: The working account shows a balance of | incomo_ever expenditure of
about $200 less than Inat year. The $1,821.41, decrease is due to the considerably larger allowance that has had to be ande for depreciation, in particular of gear. With this item taken into account, the position may be consider od very satisfactory.
Our naacts now include the amount expended on the New Club House up to the end of the Club year, July 31st. 350,813.56, and also the cost of the two Billiard Tables, $3,040.80, but in respect of one of the tables there is of a set-off of $1,635.00 made up private subscriptions. This amount has been considered as a Depreciation Reserve.
