the hole with his fifth. McMurtrie got into the hazard with his second stroke at the seventh hole; Mann into the ditch. The latter lifted and lay on the green in 4. McMurtrie lost three strokes in recovering from the bunker but was successful in getting a half in 7 by reason of weak putting on the part of his opponent. He increased his score to 5 up at the next hole, which he won with a faultless 3. as against Mann's 4. At the ninth hole the home player carried the hazard with his second and got down in 5; Mann landed his second in the ditch and took 6 to hole out. McMurtrie was thus leading by 6 up when the second round began.
At the first green, both lay a yard from the hole for 4. Mann's putt encircled the hole and lay on the lip: McMurtrie holed out in The Hongkong representative was playing a very strong game and now was 7 holes up. The next hole was won by him, too, in 4, as against Man's 5, the match being thus won by 8 up and 7 to play. McMurtrie won the third hole in 4, the fourth and fifth in 3 each, increas- ing his lead to 11 holes. The sixth was balved in 6. At the seventh McMurtrio drove his second stroke—a brassie-out of bounds and gave up the hole, though Mann had taken 3 to get out of the bunker, thus reducing his lead to 10. The eight was halved in 1, the ninth was won in 5 by McMurtrie, who accordingly emerged the winner by 11 holes.
H. E. the Governor was an interested specta- tor and accompanied the players during the whole of the game.

The result of this haphazard selection of players was seen in the variety of colours--- green, red, grey, white and striped-in which they took the field. The Club kicked off, but made nothing of their advantage, the ball being seized up by the Redpoles and taken goalwards. Prospects of early scoring were thrown away, however, by a rash kick nowhere near the mark. The visitors' goalkeeper saved a neat shot from the Club's right, and immediately after- wards the Club's goal was being bombarded. not strongly, however, so that the goalkeeper had little difficulty in returning two well-placed A third topped the net. shots from near in. The interval came after twenty minutes' play without either side having scored.
The Hongkong-Shanghai billiard match took place at the Club on the 19th inst. Before dinner the four-handed game ended in an easy victory for Hongkong (Messrs. A. G. Stokes and E. H. Hinds), who scored 500 to the 268 of Shanghai (Messrs. E. Clarke and J. Mann), Hinds in particular playing a fine game. After dinner the two singles resulted as follows:-Stokes 250, Clark 137; Hinds 250. Mann, 165. The Hongkong representatives were far too strong for their opponents, and Mann was outclassed in the doubles, though he showed up better at night. Hinds exhibited excellent form, es-scoring.
