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 1911 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.
