Some facetious individu was heard to remark on the 6th inst., when the rain was falling in torrents and the Shorts," refused til are the field, that Ducks and Drakos would have been a more appropriate title for the above match. And crtainly it is probable that never before has a cricket match been played out in q ita such a downpour. The conduct of the "little mea in fielding

team is much stronger
than the other, tho weaker sido did not have the best of luck and wickets fell with Cismal regularity. Dixon was "c and b,” Turner was bowled off his body, Ward succumbed to an ordinary straight ball, and Hooper neatly placed one of Fawcett's deliveries into the hauds of short leg. By the way, short leg happened to be one of the ground coolios, and by the new bye-laws Heath, the man for whom the substitute was fielding, bas to pay 50 cents for the catch. This is an excellent bye-law, and should Fave some effect upon the unpunctuality so often in evilence, and it is to be hoped that the Com- mittee will sea that it is carried out strictly. but to return to the play. Disaster followed di.aster, and five of the apparently best wickets were dow for a paltry 32. However, as some- times appens, the "tail" wagged fair lyvigor ously, and, thanks to a really good innings of 37 by Simous, us ful scores of 17 by Lampen and Tulleh aud an invaluable 16 not not by Heron, who showed really goed form, the score was eventually taken to 141. Clark was the most successful of the bowlers, taking 5 wickets for 30 runs. Fitch, who only bowled 4alls, ruight well have been put on soone. The filding was fair, though the wetness of the grass prevented any great brilliancy in this re- spect. The ongs" began batting with Broad bent and Falrymple, and they had matters pretty much their own way from the start.
Tho horts had very little bowling, and what they had was rendered quite ineffective by the greasy state of the ball and the lipporiness of the ground. Dixon bowled well under trying circumstances, but Turner was the only bowler to take a wicket, clean bowling Broadbent when hɔ had mada 12. H'cap. Fawcett joined Dalrymple aud between them Hou, F. H.

Meanwhile the rain, which up to then had not I been much more than au uscomfortab'e drizzle, became a perfect deluge. The "Shorts" would, tiring from the field, leaving the match a draw, of course, have been perfectly justified in re-
but they decided to continue and givo the Longs" a chance of winning. It must be said at once that Fawoolt and Dalrymple rose to the occasion brilliautly and hit the unfortunate
· bowlers, who, by this time, could scarcely hold the ball, to all parts of the fild—and out of it. The long and the short of it was that the "Lougs "easily defeated the "Shorts," as written above, by 9 wickets. Some idea of the greasi- ss of the bal may be obtained when it is stated that that usually safe catch, Turner, dropped two catches in the long field. Both Fawcett and Dalrymple hit splendidly and both were not out at the close. The following are the scores and analyzes :-

The Bangkok Times of the 28th ult. say that the local banks were doing no business. A meeting of t'e rice-millers was called. The Borneo Co. shut down their rice mills, aud Msars, Markwald & Co. The Banks submitted. the following claims to the Government:- Hongkong and Shanghai Bank. £150 00. The Chartered Bank, £100,000. The Banque de l'Indo-Chine, 1,500,000 francs. The fi ms are asking the Buuks if they are to be held to contracts made. Nothing, however, is likely to be settled for the next two or three days.

1-3 -ING
match between the Hongkong Football Club and H.M.S. Ocean was played at Happy Valley on the 6th inst. in the midst of a torrential rainfall and in presence of a faithful few specia. tors. The Club played throughout with but te men, Kerr being the absentee. The tennis were as follows:-
H.K.F.C.-C. C. Hickling, goal; 0. T. Barnes and J. W. C. Bonuar, backs; G. H. Gaskell, C. T. Kow, and W. T. Caulfield, halves; W. R. Le marchand, E. J. Libeaud, (). R. S. Coopar, and & A. Cooke, forw.rds.
Ocean-Lewis, goal; Harper aud Mr. Hall, backs; Bates, Mr. Barrett and Richard, halves; Clark, Hus' and, Winerals, Mr. Whitworth and McLean, forwards,
Refere-Mr. H. W. Lo kor.
Tie Club kicked off but did not get für be fore the ball was sent back by the Navy, who followed up wall and continued to press without giving the club much opportunity of breaking away. For the first fifteen minutes of the game their attack upon the hom.sters' goal was incessant. and repeatedly it narrowly escaped. Then from a well-placed corner kick Whitworth bauged the ball into the net in a way that entirely precluded the possibility of Hickling saving. Five minutes later the Ocean. a ain scored, Clark doing the veelful with a soft slanting shot which might have beeu saved under ordinary circumstances.

worse than in the first. There were no more goals scored, but the superior stamina of the Navy was apparent in the continuous stand they made in their opponents' territory. Hickling bad a lot to do and did it well, while Bonuar worked hard in repelling the Oc an's frequent attacks. Of the forwards Cooper and Cooke showed up best; Kow was most prominent of the halves. The Navy goal-keeper. Lewis, had little or nothing to do during the whole game. Harper and Hall kept the Cl b forwards well in check. Barrett placed unerringly and tackled overy- thing that came his way. All the forward line were good. On the whole, the severe weather made it difficult to assess the respective abilities
