The Colony aggregate over the 200 yards, 500 yards and 600 yards was only 888 points, compared with 954 act them by Singapore who fired off earlier this year.

Singapore's total gives them' an average of 95.4 points per man out of a possible 100, a figure which, Shanghai will have to shoot ex tremely well to beat.

(By "Bully-Off"}

There is every prospect of this season marking the inauguration of Ladies Interport hockey between this Colony and Shanghai.

Shanghai have intimated their willingness to sond a team to the Colony at the beginning of next year, and have incorporated in their letter an invitation to the local Association to visit Shanghai.

I understand the Hongkong Ladies Association do not intend considering such a visit this year but will, in all probability, send a team north next season.
