Thresher and Saunderson were both got rid of by Elliott and Knox and Travers by Gillett, without adding materially to the score. 8 wicketa for 104. With 25 runs to tie and only two wickets to go down it looked like a 6 to 4 chance for the Navy. The ninth wicket was T. S. Smith, and it was thought he must have a few runs up his sleeve, as for such a good batsman he has ben been particularly unfortunate this season. The surmise proved correct, as the necessary runs were speedily knocked off between himself and Maitland. Maitland was finely caught by Mor com for a sturdy 52, compiled by ouutious cricket and judicious hitting. Garde kept wicket well and smartly for the Navy. The Navy were of course the weaker team, but they played a thoroughly good sporting game.

FOOTBALL.
CLUB v. ROYAL ARTILLERY.
Nowi standing the unpropitions weather of yest rday afternoon an early start, was made in the match between the Hongkong Football Club From beginning to and the Royal Artillery end the game was very fast and exciting and of an extremely pleasant character. The military commenced hostilities and after a few minutes play one of their forwards sent in a stinger, which struck the post and rebound d into play.
