facts about hich she says have been gathered first hand, from Chinese anthorities; the Ber. C. Bone has an article on the Kwanguga | University at Canton, with especial reference to the impending radical changes in the car- riculum. Mr Theodor Metzelthin's second character sketch from Chinese History deals with Kublai Khan, whom he describes as "at once an ambitious, cold-blooded conqueror and a friend and patron of learning and all the arts of peace." Not the least interesting of the articles in the current issue of the magazine is that on the Sicawei Observatory by Mr. C. Hink, and a very readable contribution is that by the Rev. C. E. Darwent on the T'ai Ho, “the great Lake, the Lake of Lakes, the very Father of Waters of all the creeks, lakes and lakelsts that lie between Shanghai and Wuhh." We have sufficiently indicated that the current issue maintains the highly favourable impression created by the previous numbers of the magazine, and we need only add that all the articles are illustrated by capital reproductions from photo- graphs.

R.K.C.C. ('A TAM) . ARMY OR INANCE C.C. In this match, which wasp ayed on the 21st iust. in perfect cricket weather, the Army men made an unexpectedly good fight of it, with a rather strong "A" team of the H.K.C.C. Indeed, if their fielding had only been up to the level of their batting and bowling, it is quite possible that they would have won. As it was, however, their slackness in this department of the game robbed them of any chance of victory, at: e Club batsmen, profitting by th many mistakes in the field, ran up a score which it was unlikely that the Army men would ever be able to exceed. Through a variety of circumstances, three of the originally selected Club toam were unable to play anil their places had to be filled at the last moment. The Army men wou the toss, but, as only six of the home eleven were on the ground at 11.45, they sportingly put their opponents in. Radcliffe and Bar.ett were the first pair of batsmen, and so well did they hit that, helped by some m stakes in the field, they put on 79 runs in about 40 minutes before Barrett was bowled for in useful 27. Va Fawcett joining Radcliffe another stand was made and the score was taken to 97 b.fore Radcliffe was bowled for a well hit, if some- what lacky. 54. Carter and Fawcett also gave a good deal of trouble to the Army men, aud with the aid of some luck added 55 runs to the score, when Fawcett was howled for a hard hit 32. Gray, who followed, Was twice badly missed early in lis innings, but he also hit well and h Iped Carter to add 63 runs for the fourth wicket before he, too, was clean bowled. Lamble did not stay long, and with the fall of his wicket Ward declared the innings closed-the score than being 227 for 5 wickets down. Carter carried out his bat for a capital 54. As stated abore, it was the fielding of the Army men that enabled the Club tasu to make such a formidable score, as each of the batsmen gavo one or more chances, most of which were simple ones. The ground fielding, too, was poor, and many ruus lost through this fault.

With two hours left for play, there seemed to be every chance of the Club team getting their opponents out, especially as Dixon, Faw- cett and Lamble were available for bowling. For once, however, these usually dependable trundlers failed, and the dismissal of the Army ba'smen was brought about by less famous bowlers. Lillywhite and Tillman started well and took the score to 46 before Tillman was bowled for an useful 16. Lillywhite con. tinued to play well, and was not got rid of until he had scored a very creditable 53. Anscombe also hit well and contributed a very useful 38. Rutter too, gave trouble and refused to be tempted to hit. At length, however, ha ran out to one of Ward's insinuating slows and mis- sing it, was well stumped by Goldring. None of the others gave much trouble, but the last. man was only disposed of on the stroke of time, the score then being 174. The match thus ended in an easy win for the Club by 5 wickets and 53' ruos. Elborough was very successful with the ball, taking 5 wickets for 39 runs, and Ward's 3 Mr. W. B.

SHIELD TIE—Y.RO. 9. E.KA "ARGONAUT...
At Happy Valley on the 21st inst., in fine weather and before a good turn-out of spectators, the above teams met to play their tie in the second round of the Shield competi» tion. The sides were 1---
V.B.C.: Goal-Fittook; baoks --- Lapsley - (capt.) and Dancan; halves-Austin, J. Wit- chell, and Henderson ; forwarda-H. A. Bat! Humphreys, Berton, Helmen and Bayer.si
H.M.8. Argonaut : Goal-Robinson ;, backi - Morrison and Taylor; halven --Climold, Hodge, and Perry; forwards-Brown, Gogle, Paton, Callaghan, and Stevens
Referee-Sergeant Harper, H.M.8. Ocsani
The V.R.C. set the ball in motion, and both teams at onos nettled down. tb a hard game. Neither had any puticular advan- tage for the first five minutes or so, but the Argo auts thereafter adopted aggressive tacties that brought them frequently in clore proximity to Fittock's position. Itwas during one of these sieges that the first and only goal of the matol was scored, Paton defeating Fittock and finding the net with a fast shot. The V.R.C. responded with a ran up the field, but got a bye only, and from the goal kick the 'Blues again came away to the front. Gogle, who had charge of the leather, outwitted" Henderson easily, and centred. Duncan cleared, and Berton, supported by Holmes and Bayer, took up the pass and transferred play to the other end. Robinson had an anxious time for A space, the V.R.C. pressing hard with the determination to notch the equ liser. Horton had two shots at goal, but each went past. The give-and-take character of the game kept the spectators continually on the qui vive, B.B well as the respective custodians, and exci ement often ran high. The Club wore awarded a free kick in Argonaut territory, but Henderson topped the net with it, and there followed a dangerous rush by the sailors which the Club's halves turned splondidly, 4 repetition of the attack saw the ball travel across the goal-mouth and over the line. Henderson, who was never conspicuous, gave sway a free kick at centre, but the "Bluen failed to turn the advantage to account. Herton, who alternated ornamental with useful work, made a placky bid to put his side én even terms, but though he mucceeded in getting behind the defences he lost the ball by dribbling it too hard. à pass beauti- fully centred from the Argonauts 1. ft wing was badly accounted for by Brown, who captured close in but through bastinem sent the tall to the outside of the post. The V.1.C. were playing a defensive game, and had to sacrifice a couple of corners on their left, neither of which was improved, although the first looked very dangerous. The Argonauta potted, time and again, but could never quite reach the net, Duncan and Fittook playing a sterling game and keeping their goal inviolate. The "Bines "' were in V.R.U. territory when half-time was called, the score then standing-
H.M.8. Argonaut, 1; V.R.C., 0.
The Club invaded on the resumption, Herton in charge. He sent in a hard ground shot and missed the sticks by inches only. The sailors played a cautions game, and contented them- selves with negotiating the attacks of the opposing forwards. When these had, bacons less spirited they broke away on a visit to Fitlook. Lapsley mis ed the ball, but the watchful custodian filled in the breach manfully and kicked clear. Another couple of corners fell to the "Blues" on their left, but again, neither was improved, the woond being badly taken. Morrison, the Argonante' right back, pus în most useful work, and gained repeated for the magnificent way in which: he every bail that came in, his direction. w's alightly hurt, and the gaine for a short time till he got on Offside against their opponents: gay an opportunity to clear their ground, did it without material disadvanie sailors, Morrison proving ons too tricky Herton.
