CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT. ¡few succeeding minutes Widdows's cl
arge was no sinecure. Several times he was called upon to save. The expected happened when at last the Fusiliers scored the equalisi.g goal. Shields got away with a splendid ran solus. He wriggled his way through the defonce and when a few yards from goal sent in a lightning shot. The ball hit the goal post and rebounded into play, but in doing so it struck Thornhill, the left back, and slipped into the net. Soon Shields got away with another rush, but he sent the ball too far in front in approaching the goal and Widdows managed to clear.
Half-time result-R. W. F., 1 goal.; R. E., 1 goal.
The opening passages in the second half were very fast. Caulfield, the R. E. left half, kept his wing well fed and at the end of a few minutes play Walker and Nolan forced corner. The corner-kick was wide, however, and the ball was very quickly transferred to the other end of the field. Dobbs got well away on the run towards the Engineers' goal 1but he palpably fouled the ball and play was 12 again carried to centre. Rutter now got the leather nicely at his foot and sent in a

mistake, and saved by punting out. Smart at right back was putting in some some excellent 9 work; he stopped several ugly rushes. Pagh had another try at the R.E. goal, but Widdows was all there.
In fact he had need to be in the next ten minutes, for his charge was again and 24 again assailed. But he cleared every time, and showed admirable goal-keeping powers. Play continued to be fast right nutil the end. In the last five minutes the game was most pluckily contested. But despite their redoubled 3 efforts neither side could secure the all-desired 10 winning point. Each end was visited several times, but when the whistle blow the score 15 remained unchanged, 1 goal each. In these 9 circumstances it was decided to play extra 930 minutes. Before a couple of these had gone both goal-keepers had been called upon to handle the leather; before the third 6) had passed, the Fusiliers had scored. The honour for this goal belonged to Pugh. He fought his way pluckily up the wing past half-backs and backs, right to the goal-mouth, and slipped the ball neatly past Widdows. Ends were changed without any further goals having been scored. Whou the change did come, however, the Fusiliers returned to the attack and were successful in again adding a point, Williams doing the needful with a long swift shot. It was now too dark to allow the game to proceed and Referee Russell applied the closure when about 7 minutes remained to be played.

Frequent brushes with the insurgents are reported from the Philippines. Noir Santa Cruz, Laguna, three U.S. privates were wounded. We still continue to hear of a number of renegades with the Filipinos.
The Engineers won the toss, but failed to get away from the centre kick and very soon The Fusiliers invaded their territory. Pugh inst. between a H.K.F.C. team and the R.E. finishing up a nice run with a stinging shot ended in a victory for the latter by 2 gols which almost beat Widdows. The R.E. had a to wil. The game was of a holiday nature. look-iu before many minutes had elapsed but only a bye resulted. In the opening stages of the game play was very fast and an exciting match was confidently looked for by the specta- ters. The heavy defence of the Engineers stopped many likely-looking rushes. Walker and Nolan on the Engineers' left wing put in some splendid work, evincing both speed and trickiness. When the game was ten minutes The Resident-Superior at Pnompenh has gone Whitney cleared in first-class manner in informed the Chamber of Commerce there that an attack at close quarters resulting from a he hopes to obtain, in the next general budget, free kick. Soon afterwards the Engineers' provision for a powerful dredger, which, with goal had an almost miraculous escape. Williams the one already in the possession of the local assisted by Pugh carried the ball right down Government, will render all the waterways the wing, outdistanced the whole field and shot navigable. He also supports the Chamber in hard when only a few yards from goal. But his their desire to see Pnompenh created a free shot went right into Widdows's hands, and he port.

At 8.30 on Friday morning, he says, there was a fight in Elgin Street, in which there were about eight chair coolies beating one. The man was severely beaten and bleeding. A lukong walked up just in time, the c.owd dispersed, and that was the end of it. He saw the man bleeding but paid no attention, as far as I saw, to his complaint.
