Besides himself, he had A. el Arculli, Donald Anderson, H. R. B. Hancock, R. H. Grits, R. E. Lee, D. McLellan, Alec Pearce, A. E. Perry, A. Warr d F. Zimmern.

On the Club ground at King's Park last evening, the Hongkong Hockey Cimb defeated a strong II.K.S.R.A. combination by 2-1. As usual the Club commenced, with a depleted team, being three men short when the game started yesterday; and though they were at full strength after 10 minutes, by this time the Brigade had already taken the lead through Khuda Bar; off
