Miss Marah, at inside right, was not her usunt dashing self; the absence of Miss M. Smalley on the right wing sadly affected her play. Miss Purves, newly introduced on the left wing, demonstrated a good turn of speed but never used the reverse stick, hence she was constantly robbed of the ball.

Had Mrs. Perrin and Miss Smalley been avallah's, the Hongkong Ladles, I am positive, would have given a better account of themselves. At the
