The latest call-over is as and the Schools' sports led up to the grand finals -the three-day Meet just concluded at Caroline Hill-and the figures that have emerged are of a high standard, and together with the enthusiasm give indication of very healthy support to any As- sociation that would be organised in Hongkong.

I HAD NOT THOUGHT that I should be writing any more cricket this season, but the L.R.C. Second XI and the Police are most anxious not to let the Junior Shield be shared. I turned up shortly before 2 p.m. on Saturday last, as I was advised that the match would be played if at all possible. I had promised to umpire!

The teams turned up gallantly, but the heavy drizzle stendily Upersisted, and playing under
