The honour of scoring the first possible of the season fell to the Talkoo rink of W. Melrose, W. C. Bovaird, T. F Stainton and J. C. Chatmers, who performed the feat aguinst J. S. Howell, E. L. Strange, J. Bench and Dr. J. A. R. Selby, of the Hongkong F. C. Each member of Chalmers' rink deserves his bottle of witisky from Messrs, Gande, Price,
Besides this eight, a seven was re- conded by W. Groves, A.
P. YouWind and T. of F.C., against W. Glen-
the
dinning, N. Fraser, J. R. MeWalter and J. S. Riddell, of the Police R.C., while ten sixes were scored during the afternoon.
