INVITATION TO HONGKONG.
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 Boccer,
Although the total number of playing members of the Shameen Sports Club does not exceed twenty, It la 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 dimculty for the best players is to get suficient practice, and it has been in this direction that Shameen's weakness has lain, ground facilities are also limited, and it is difficult for any in dividual to get more than game of each branch of sport in any week.
SOCCER PROSPECTS.
one
Shameen League Soccer will bo 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 entering a team again, owing to the difficulty in getting together a. aumclently strong side.
The feeling is that Shamcen will be able to field a stronger hockey team than last year, with the addition of one or two new players, and it is felt that the Bonson will be a brisk one for all concorned. It is a pity that the Chinese Clubs in the city do not take to the game, which should bo admirably suited to the Chinese, who could make up for their lack', of wolght in speed and quickness It has been takeŋk up
