May Queen Another long tack brought the fleet to the Kowloon pier, where Erica was caught by Meteor and after taking the lead in turns Meteor went into first place. At this point Princess was third boat and She, which had been going remarkably well in the light wind, was in front of Ladybird, with Payne and Petrel some distance behind. The wind increased considerably on the beat up to Channel Rocks, and Meteor gave quite an exhibition in the way she went through the water, beating the Erica by quite two minutes. The Rocks were passed by the

HONGKONG FOOTBALL CLUB E. THE NAVY. As was expected this match turned out to be one in whiell it was doubtful right to the end as to which would be declared the victor. It was decided to play twenty-five minutes each
menced with the wind in their favour. The Club at first seebied heavy in the scrum and managed to get into their opponents' ground. Blunt relieved by a good run, but was forced into touch. From a scrum Greenfield obtained the ball and restored his side to its lost position between the centre and the twenty- five. Here a scrum was formed and the ball having been passed out to Townend was carried right up despite severe opposition. When it was seen that only Powlett was left to bar his progress a breathless silence reigned, but when it was seen that this last obstacle was past lusty cheers were given us running in by the flag he veered round and touched down near the centre. The try was converted by Green- field. The Club seemed now to have the better share in the game and after another few minutes' play Townend again put in a splendid run, but was ultimately forced into touch. Feeling amongst the naval supporters then became very intense as it was seen that Arbuthnot had managed to elude several opponents and was proceeding at full speed to the uprights. But Davies had, however, to be reckoned with and a fine tackle prevented further progress. Half time was now called and after a rest of five minutes the contest was once more renewed, and, more especially by the Navy, with renewed vigour. Down to the present the play amongst the Naval three-quarters had been but of a moderate description, but in this half a noticeable improvement commenced, the ball being passed much more correctly and quickly. For a few minutes the Navy beheld
menced and gradually ther the other direction. The Navy

more powerful in the scrum give the Club adherents considerab Shelford was continually on and excellent passing began right throngh the three-quarter pack. By a good dribble Skelton left the ball in the Club's twenty five: Here Powlett made several good attempts to get in and at one time he was within ten yards of the goal-line and there he was brought to rest. However, a serum. was formed a little later in the twenty-five, Shelford rapidly passed after a short run to Arbuthnot, who on being tackled passed out to Blunt, who ran in and scored for the Navy. The try was not con
verted.
The Club now had plenty to do, with the Navy playing a determined for and pressing game all efforts had to be put forth in order to restrain their progress. Shelford when throwing in from touch required to be carefully watched, as the ball usually fell to the right man. Kew stopped the progress of the Navy towards the end by kicking well down the field, a result hailed with joy by the Club, who began to feel that in order to save the game they must obstruct their opponents to the fullest extent. Wood, a few minutes later, repeated a similar action and finally when the whistle blew the contending teams were in the centre of the field. Thus the Club won this, the first match against the Navy, by five points to three.

THE PASS AND LIGHT ORDINANCE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY FEE88. SIR-The impartial attitude assumed by you with reference to this question in your leading article of the 23rd instant must be my exeuse for asking you to insert a few words in the Daily Press explanatory of the remarks made by me at the meeting of Chinese held at the Tung Wah Hospital on Sunday, the 22nd în- stant, and to the tone of which exception was taken by you.
I would, with your permission, preface my remarks by saying that it is extremely difficult to judge from an English résumé of speeches delivered in Chinese as to the tone of those speeches, but I can conscientiously aver that neither I nor my friends had the faintest inten tion or wish to act the part of agitators, using the word in its offensive sense, i.e., as-persons desiring to incite others to break the law or to make out that a grievance existed where there was no bona fide feeling that a hard ship was being inflicted by the Ordinance com plained of.
The whole object of the meeting referred to was to demonstrate clearly to the Government what were the real feelings of the Hongkong Chinese on the subject. As I am reported to have said by one of your evening contemporaries, my object in addressing the meeting was to point out to those present "that if a thing is unreasonable we can always appeal to the Government to have it modified or repealed, otherwise the Government is not in a position to know our hardships," and, to quote from the same report further on, "We should always bring our grievances to the notice of the Government in order to have them remedied, and I have no doubt they will receive due con- sideration from the Government."

Rifle Brigade It was a run down to the Green Island mark. which was rounded about noon by:Dart, about a minute in front of Princess and Erica, which rounded together, followed closely by Ladybird, She, Petrel, Meteor, and Pay no, with May Queen some distance astern. Most of the boats made the Cosmopolitan Dock buoy in one tack, but Payne, Petrel, and May Queen went about and stood over to the Hongkong shore and then had a free reach across the harbour. This put them some 10 minutes behind, and as events proved lost them all chance of scoring. When off the east end of Stonecutters Island, Dart, which was then third boat, sprung her mast and had to retire. In the beat across Erica had gained two or three minutes and the Club slowly making its way into their in the western part of the town. It may b

The objection of the Chinese to the Ordinance is not an imaginary or fanciful oné, for the great majority consider it wholly ineffective. in affording protection to the respectable mem- bers of the community, while on the other hand it puts all respectable people going out at night. to considerable inconvenience, and at the same time greatly interferes with eating-house keepers and others, whose profits very greatly depend on the patronage of customers after seven- p.m., and I feel sure that if the Ordinance. is to be rigidly enforced in the future the result will be a diminution in the value of property that the references to the legislation being wholly aimed at Chinese would convey an im-
