Chinese use crystal sets, and are able to hear the two local stations.

These local stations are rather a nuisance at present to those wishing fo yet more distant points, in that they monopolize practically the whole of the dial, and it Is very dimeult to punch through, or to hear clearly without having them in the background, The snow has put an end to golf but to-day there is a badminton competition in Victoria Hall. It is possible that by Sunday hockey and football will be possible at the Race Club as the snow has stopped, and a good game is promised by the hockey section who are playing a strong team from HM. Navy. The soccer section have a league match against the Police, but they will have to play better football than they have been doing recently if they are to win, despite the fact that they trounced the International Club last Week. This game was a very poor exhibition, and it was made quite clear that the Club soccer section will have to have a better line up if they are to escape on Sunday. The strange thing is that the Club have some good players, but they do not turn out, and only this week the secretary, who Is very keen has had to issue an appeal to get these players.
