FOXX HITS ANOTHER HOME RUN
Interviewed by a "China Mail" representa- tive on the Empress of Canada early this morning| Capt. E. J. R. Mitchell, the Hong Kong Cricket cap- tain, said: "All that I can say is that the team back- ed me up to the hilt, and even when things were go- ing badly with us a wonderful spirit prevailed, and it was due solely to this magnificent show of deter- mination that we were able to bring off what prob- ably will rank as one of the most sensational vic- tories in the Interport series against Shanghai. The younger members of the side came off, and it was largely due to A. H. Madar, G. C. Burnett and A. R. Minu, all of whom were making their first of to-day's Baseball games: appearance in an Interport game, that we are now in possession of the sixteenth Shanghai flag. Minu was splendid. He has created a favourable impres- sion in the northern port and his success will not be early forgotten.”

Hong Kong won the thirtieth Interport Cricket match at Shanghai on May 24, by 42 runs, after a very anxious period had been reached. Shanghai led by 23 runs on the first innings, and in their second knock Hong Kong had lost, seven wickets for 53 runs, when A. H. Madar and G. C Burnett pulled the game out of the fire by a partnership of 79 runs for the eighth wicket. Madar made 59, the biggest score of the match, while Burnett scored 29. In their second innings, Shanghai could do, little against the attack, of Minu, who captured six wickets for 49 runs. He also bowled well for the first innings, claiming four wickets. A detailed account of the match is published in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Sir Henry spoke of the founding of the University, the expansion of Kowloon, the discovery, of the malarial mosquito, the dis covery and adoption of wireless and the increase in hospital accommodation. His lecture is reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL..
The Shing-Mun water scheme was discussed at a meet- ing of the Legislative Council on May 19, when H.E. the Officer Administering the Government gave assurance that the Government was in entire agreement with the Unofficial members with regard to the necessity of immediately com mencing work on the second section of the scheme.
