A match between H.M.S. Pique and H.M.S. Ocean was played at Happy Valley on 4th inst. in the second round of the Hongkong Football Shield competition. There was a large crowd of spectators. As regards the physique of the respective teams there could be no two opinions, the Oceans" bing much the taller and speedier-looking lot as a whole. In the first half the Ocean representatives were almost continuously jo their pponents' territory. They pressed hard and maurged to secure oue goal in spite of u stab. born defence, while the Pique failed to score. The second half was hardly contested and each s de scored once, the game thus ending i. a win for the Ocem by two goals to one, for the excellent form shown by the Pique goal. keeper, the score against his side wonld doubi- less have been larger.

Between the two days, and despite the extremely unfavourable veath r. there were about a thon-and- visitors. and amongst them I none were more int rested in the birds than H.E. the Governor aud Lady Blake.

The prizes on the present occasion were
awarded as follows:

The Portuguese Envoy has asked for au ext - sion of his Government's authority from Macao to some of the adjacent islanda, but this request has met with no success. 1oth the Portuguese and the French have sppl'el for the Macao- Canton Railway Concession. It is a very pretty picture of the mixing up of prie ts and politics. The latest act of the Portuguese authorities has been to establish a Press censorship, a cure sign of a failing constitution.

SEQUEL TO A SHANGHAI NEWSPAPER CASE,
Tu H.B.M.'s Supreme Court, Shanghai, ou the 22nd January, before Mr. F. S. A. Bourne, Acting Chief Justice, the case H. D. O'Shea r. T. D Cowen was heard. This was a judgment summo's, H. D. O'Shea being the plaintiff and
T. D. Cowen te defndant.
The plaintiff said that he had a judgment given in his favour against the defendaut for Ils. 100, and $1,080 ecsts.
The defendant, who was placed in the witness. box and examined as to his means, said that he had had no hanking acccunts since June, 1902. Documents in connection with those accountstad been handed over to Mr. Broweft. On the 1st
the New July last he was re-engaged on Prex at a salary of $200 a mouth and com- mission on the profits of the business. There had been no profits to draw upon. During the last part of the engagement he had been allowed quarters. The two judgments ag-inst him might have been satisfied, but not to his know- ledge. In 1901 the China Times was assigned to his brother, 'lefore the libel case was heard of against him. He had no money or property in Shanghai. Tientsin, or elsewhere. If the Shanghai Times paid for the money which had been put into it 1:0 wou'd receive 11 certain amount, but the paper never would pay this. If he had an opportu- nity of employment he would go to Japan, where take up work on the Japan Gazette, at Yoko- be was led to understand by a friend he could
hama.
He did not know what position he would, had no been doing ou ́side journalistic work, and occupy, or what salary he would receive. He
there were no cutstanding aerounts due to him. The plaintiff ubmitted that the defendant could pay him by instalments.
+
His Lordship said that he did not see how the defendant could pay instalments, if his salary was $20 a month. There was nothin e for the plaintiff to do but wait for the money nutil the d fendant could pay it.
Soon after the launching from the no val yard at Yokohama of the Japanese 3rd-e'r s cruiser Niitaka in November last, the keel was laid of another cruiser of 2 900 tops displaci zent. She is expected to be launched from the yurd in the course of the present year, and is to be christened Otonica.
