Through the courtesy of the Shanghai Golf Club, the annual match between St. Andrew's Society and the Royal Society of St. George was played over the Kiangwan course on Sunday in ideal weather, and resulted in a rather easy win for the Scots by 21} points to 12.
Mr. E. F. Goodale, in the absence of the President of St. George's Society, and the donor, Mr. EH. F. Bateman, presented the cup to Mr. C. J. Scott, President of St. Andrew's Society, and remarked that all Englishmen present must agree that the Scots, through winning the match three years in succession, thoroughly deserved to become its possessors outright.
Mr. C. J. Scott, in a neat little speech, said that it was.ather hard on the Englishmen that the Scots should have beaten them the three first years since the cup was presented, adding that he felt sure Mr, Bateman would have liked to see it competed for during many years before either Society won it outright. The cup would be added to the treasures held by St. Andrew's Society and would be on view annually on the night of the Caledonian Ball, displayed along with Scottish regalia, thereby keeping Mr. Bateman's name for ever green in the memory of members of the society. Mr. Scott had pleasure in announcing that one of St. Andrew's oldest and most prominent members had kindly promised, in the event of the cup being that day won outright, to present another cup to be competed for by the two societies in an annual golf match under similar conditions, such conditions to be left to the committee of the society.
This annual match is a very pleasant event, bringing-out as it does that spirit of friendly rivalry which has existed since the union of the nations. Details St, ANDREW's Sr, Gronce's.
