In beautiful weather " match was played on Saturday afternoon at the Recreation Ground, between a team of past and pr boys of the Chefoo Protestant Collegiate School and a second eleven of the Shanghai Marine Engineers' F.C. There was a good attendance of spectators of both sexes. Chefoo won the toss and elected to play with the wind, having the sun in their eyes, which choice was a mistake to start with, as the wind was only very slightly in Chefoo's favour. The ball was started at 3.45, and for the first few minutes it was kept near the Engineers' backs, but Long, who undoubtedly was the mainstay of the Engineers, got the ball away to his forwards, who rushed it down to the Chefoo goal, but Cooper returned it, and the Engineers made another ran, which was stopped by Courtenay. After a corner kick in favour of Chefoo, the ball was promptly taken out of the Engineers' quartera and after some pretty passing by their forwards Logan had a good that at goal but did not score. After this, Murray ran the ball down te the Engineers' goal and made a very good shot, but the ball unfortunately hit the ross bar, and Angus very cleverly saved his side by a quick kick before the Chefoo forwards could get close enough to put the ball through. Up to half time nothing had been scored. On resuming, after some good passing by the Engineers' forwards, 4 shot was nade at the goal, and was sto ped by the goal-keeper, but lo was too in getting the ball away, and Williamson, following up, scored the first goal. A claim for "off side" was made by the Chefoo captain, but he was not heard by the referee until too late. From this point the Chefoo boys did not play so well as before, huddling together and not keeping their places. There were several good shots at the Chefoo goal, but nothing was scored until shortly before time, when Donald scored the second and last point for the Engineers, who won by two goals to none. The winners played x slow but good passing game, while Long's kicking at back was one of the best features of the afternoon's play. Cooper xnd Courtenay were best on the other side,
