'The conditions under which the: interport cup. was originally pre-ented have already been revised once, Tt was first of all Inid down that' the cup should be played for on the course of the winning team, and so when Hongkong carried it ff from Shanghai, Shanghai had to ko on shout four occasions to Hong-Kong to compete for it before it wns finally brought back. In these days of strenuous business competition people cannot afford every year to travel 800 miles to play a golfing competition and then 800 miles back, and so as the organization which' presented the trophy, the Shanghai Golf Club, after having. won it back, made it an additional condition that it should be played: annually on alternate courses. This is a much more interesting arrangement, more workable, and more satisfactory to all concerned, and, it now only remains to bring the competition into line with other interport events in eliminating the purely club character.
