FOOTBALL.
71
Three weeks ago the Hongkong Football Club met the Torpedo Depôt and was defeated with two goals against onė. On Thursday afternoon these two teams met a second time and an excel- lent game resulted. Winning the toss the Club elected to play with the wind and from the begin- ning it became evident that a sharp tussle for the victory would take place. The Torpedoes, after some minutes' play, sent in a good shot which grazed the wrong side of the post. The Club in return obtained a corner, which was so well placed that another corner had to be conceded. The ball on this occasion was sent into the goal- keeper's hands, and being fisted out was returned by the Club to a few yards from goal, where it was accidently handled by the sailors. A hot scrimmage resulted from the free kick, one side endeavouring by every legitimate means to push it through, the other exerting themselves to the utmost to preserve the goal intact. After an exciting exchange of kicks the ball WE eventually sent out of danger. Half time was now called, the score then being love all, Hostilities were soon recommenced and the play became very fast. Just in front of the Civilians' goal a shot was taken which was unfortunate in not passing through; it, however, struck the post and bounded into play. It was then well passed to the other goal and after coming very near the desired spot was ultimately sout behind. Despite all endeavours by each side, amidst much excite- ment, nothing was scored.
The usual quarterly competitions for the MacEwen Cup, Optional Sweepstakes, Pool, and Bogey Cup were played on the links at the appy Valley from the 11 to the 14th inst. The Mack wen Cup and Sweepstakes were won with a net score of 84. by Mr. Gershom Stewart, whom we are glad in see amongst us again after an absence of some eighteen months in England, where he had the advantage of. playing on many of the bat known Scotch and English links this gntleman also a cured the first prize in the Pool competition, followed by Messrs.

The Inter-Club match in ̧connection with the Hongkong Football Club was vigorously cop. tested on Monday afternoon. Firth's team was the first to draw blood with an excellent shot by Hughes. This was soon equalised by their op- pouents, Sheldon opening the score. The enn- test was evenly waged for a long time, but a ron up the field by Campbell resulted in his landing the ball under the net, thus giving Mackay's team a point to the good. From a corner-kick- Mackay placed the ball right in the gual-mouth,
was trying hard to run up his score, but although several times near to scoring his team could not get the ball through, The game thus ended in a victory for Mackay's team by three goals to

DEATH OF MR. JOHN HOLLIDAY.
Referring to the death of Mr. John Holliday the N. C Daily News says:-In the death of Mr. John Holliday at a ripe old age has passed away one whose name is intimately connected with British trade in China. The monopoly of the East India Company having ceased to exist in 1835. Mr. Polliday proceeded to Canton from Manila, where he had been for more than a twelve- month, and he remained in Canton, representing the firm of Holliday, Wise & Co., until the tron- bles occurred and the resident foreigners were driven out of Canton at the close of 1839. Mr. Holliday then established his firm at Macao, and remained there until Hongkong was ceded to the British in 1841, when he took up his residence in the colony and built a hong in a very favour- able situation. When Shanghai was opened to foreign trade by the treaty of 1842, Mr. Holli- day was one of the first to open a firm here, and at first owned the piece of land subse- quently occupied by Messrs. Gibb, Livingston & Co., which he disposed of and then erected the bong which up to the present day has been occupied by his firm. Mr. John Holli day was not a resident of Shanghai for any great length of time, as he returned to Hong- kong to take charge of the business there. He left that colony for England in 1855, and took a very active part in the management of the Manchester house until shortly before his death. Mr. Johu Holliday closely identified himself with the important busines: interests of Man- chester, and was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him, but he had not leisure to take part in city affairs other than such as were immediately connected with his business.
A special telegram to the N. C. Daily News, dated Weihaiwei, 14th January, says that a Japanese wan-of-war was hit that day by a 24 cm. shell from the North Fort at a distance of 12,000 metres (P), and many lives must have been lost amongst the crew crowded on her deck.
