SHANGHAI,

WEDNESDAY, 28th September.
The heat in the early part of the day was simply stifling, but shortly after the interval for tiffin a brief but very welcome squall came down which cooled off things considerably. The attendance was even larger than yesterday and the sport was followed with the utmost enthusiasm. The arrangements were again admirable, everything was well managed and everybody concerned was loudly praised. Play was pretty fair, the fielding, particularly of the Shanghai eleven, being simply perfect. Details are appendert:-
At 1110 this morning the match was resumed, Veitch (4) and Jackson (0) the two not-outs taking up play where they left off last evening, against the bowling of Lethbridge and Lowson. It will be remembered that when stumps were drawn yesterday Shanghai had made 134 for 7 wickets, and Hongkong 179. At the outset this morning play was slow and wary, the first over sent down by Lethbridge being a maiden, but in the next over (Lowson's) Veitch got one

Lowson then joined Campbell and distinguished himself by making three off the second ball sent down to him by Dew, But runs came slowly for some time after this for a while, and it was quite a spell after Lowson's arrival before 110 was posted. At 113 Mann went on once more at the Pavilion end. Lowson soou maunged to get him away for two and Campbell (who had been playing a regular stonewall game since the be- ginning of the innings) for a single. Directly afterwards, however, Lowson was caught be- hind the wickets off Jackson, 119.6.9 Leth- bridge joined Campbell, who at once made a single off Mann, bringing the score to 120, but two balls later this fine batsman retired clean bowled for 43, which was knocked together in magnificent style.

Davies, the last man to go in, made 4 and was clean bowled by Jackson, when the innings closed for 126, Vallings not out being 2. During the innings not a single Extra was recorded, a fact of

At 12.25 p.m. the Hongkong second innings opened, Campbell and Dyson starting the play to the bowling of Mann (Pavilion end) and Jackson. The ground had been rolled in the interval and scoring was started almost at once, by Captain Dyson snicking a run off Mann in When half-a-dozen runs had the first over. been made Campbell had a very narrow escape of being run out, and immediately after the lucky batsman took the score up to 10 by a clever cut for 3 off Manu. Dyson followed up with a four off Jackson, and in the same bowler's next over (Mann having sent down a in the meantime) Dyson sent the leather away

peated the performance for off Lethbridge, bringing the Shanghai score up to 14). In the next over Jackson broke his duck with a 3 off the Doctor, which Veitch supplemented by driving the succeeding ball finely for a similar number of ruus. The same batsman then took the score to 150 by sending Lethbridge's delivery to the boundary, and then four "byes" made a welcome little addition to the Shanghai score, which was further increased on the next ball by a single scored by Veitch off Lethbridge. Nothing further was done worth recording au- til at 158 a change of bowlers was tried. Langhorne went on at the Pavilion end aud with his first ball overcame Veitch's defence and took his stumps. 158.8.21 G. F. Lanning succeeded, and

Lanning then got Lethbridge under control and sent him away for a two and a four in succession, and in the next over Jackson scored a three off Langhorne At 171 Davies took over the attack from Leth bridge and Jackson snicked a single off the newcomer's second ball. At 174 Jackson gare an easy chance in the long field, which however, the man stationed there (Ward) politely de- clined to accept, and the same batsman soon afterward scored a third off Davies after which a couple by Lanning, also off Davies, brought the Shanghai total up to the level of Hong kong, namely 179, Shanghai being still two wickets to the good. Directly after Jackson made a single off Laughorn taking the score to 180. which was posted amidst the hearty applause of the supporters of Shanghai, the time being 11.40 a.m. Scoring still continued until at 190 Lanning was missed by Moberly (third man) off Davies, but the chance was rather a difficult one. Captain Dyson then took over the bowling from the Pavilion end, but there was no cassation in the ran-getting and the spectators applauded enthusiastically when, at 11.55 8.m., 200 runs were posted on the board. Lethbridge then replaced Davies at the far end
Maun then bowled a second "maiden," after which the score was taken by means of a few singles to 23. at which point Dyson retired, I. b. w., for 16. Langhorne succeeding, treated Mann's delivery so cautiously that this bowler was credited with a third “ maiden,” and on the third ball of the next over (Jackson's) Laughorne was run out without having scored, the total still being 23. The man who threw the ball in, Dew, whose position in the field was mid off, was heartily applanded for the smart piece of work which dismissed Captain Langhorne. Moberly was the next man in and shortly after his arrival Mann was replaced by Dew, off whose first ball Campbell scored a run. Moberly had not been long at the wichst when he had a narrow sacape of being run out; bat be did not survive long, for the first or second ball after his let-off, he was beautifully caught by Dow in the slip off Jackson. 26.3.1 Arthur then joined Campbell, but nothing remarkable was done until 1 o'clock at which hour play was suspended for tiffin, the score standing at 29 and the not-outs being Campbell (11) and Arthur (1)
On resuming at 2.05 p.m., Arthur scored a run off the very first ball he received from Dew, which brought the total up to 30, and the last ball of the over was negotiated by Compbell for three. Jackson was punished in the next over for 10 runs, Arthur making a 4 and a 3 and a single, and Campbell a couple of singles, bring
Arthar then got Dew ing the score up to 40. away for 3, and then Jackson for a similar number, and a few singles coming in to sell the total, the score was taken quickly up to the half-hundred, at which stage Wallace took over the attack at the far end from Jackson.

Matters went rather slowly for a while but at last Moule got the measure of Valling's delivery and sent him away for a four and then for a single, and then for another single and another four, bringing the score up to 10. Run getting continued uninterrupted for some time longer, until at 16 Moule was clean bowled by Lethbridge for 13. Wallace then went in but speedily went out again, dismissed by Lethbridge without scoring. 16-2-0. Tyack suceeded, but was caught almost immediatedly by Moberly off Lethbridge, 16-3-0. Mann then joined Cumming, but with 3 added to the score, Cumming retired, caught in the slips by Ward off Vallings, 19.4.4. Dew succeeded, and soon after, when the in-
