342 A COLONY IN THE MAKING chap. 



There are a good many tournaments throughout the 

 country, the principal naturally being at Nairobi. The 

 best players in the country are probably Messrs. E. D. 

 Rutherford and G. Lushington, past and present 

 champions. 



Hockey, though not so generally popular as football, 

 has a busy season in Nairobi, and there is a League 

 competition for a shield presented by the merchants of 

 the town. The winners in 191 1 were the Gymkhana 

 H.C. who were a very fine side and did not lose a 

 game. Probably the standard of play provided by this 

 team was comparatively superior to anything provided 

 by the football clubs.
