good and Fitch bowled with great success, taking 5 wickets for 20 runs.
Rimington and Pringle were seat in to make the necessary 28 runs, and J. T. Dixon and Pearce bowled. When he had made 11 out of 22, Rimington was stumped. The batsman did not appear to understand the decision, but there is no doubt that it was a correct one as he raised his right foot just as the ball fell from the wicket-keeper's hands on to the wicket. Moore joined Pringle, and between them they 6 had no difficulty in knocking off the necessary runs. The match thus ended in a hollow victo:y for the United Services by 9 wicke's. following are the full scores and analyses:-

As the match was finished so carly - about 2.45 —and the band of the Sherwood Foresters was on the ground, it was decided to play a scratch Ward and Fawcett therefore picked game. sides, and it was arranged that the time left for play should be equally divided and the side that made most ruus in their time should win, This proved to be quite a successful arrangement. and an exciting game was the result. Rain delayed the start until 3.30, which left an hour and a half for play-three quarters of an hour's batting for each side. Fawcett's side batted first and ran up a total of 88 in the 45 minutes, but the whole side were out in the time, W. Dixon bowling with great effect and taking 5 wickets for 35. Ward's side succeeded in making 97 for only 6 wickets in their 45 minutes, 80 they won the game quite comfortably. Only ten men played on either side in this match,
By kind permission of the Admiral and Officers, the massed bands of the fleet played an excellent selection on Friday afternoon and, by the kindness of Colonel Wylley and Officers, the band of the Ist Sherwood Foresters, under

H.K.F.C. v. H.M.8. "GLORY "---SHIELD MATCH. The opening match of the Shield series was played ou the 27th ult. by the above teams on the H.K.F.C.'s ground. Rain fell heavily about 3.30, but at the time of starting there was not much more than a drizzlo. The Clab had the side that played H. S. Ocean the previous Saturday, the only change being that Clarke went outside and Cooke inside left. The stand was comfortably filled with spectators, and a fair crowd lined the ropes-principally Service people. The team lined up as follows:— HK.F.C.-C. C. Hickling, goal; 'T'. E. Pearce and J. W. C. Bnnar, backs; G. B. Macdonald, C. T. Kew, and R. Kerr, halves; W. R. Lemarchand, F. J. Liboand, C. R. 8. Cooper, G. A. Cooke, and W. W. Clarke, forwards.
H.M.S. Glory. Morgan, goal; Urquhart and Sherbrook, backs; Wade, Crossman, and Wataou, halves; Lane, Booth, Milford, Moore, and Cottell, forwards,
Referee Mr. Triggs.

The Glory, having lost the toss, kicked off towards the pavilion end. The Club were the first to press and secured a corner, which Morgan cleared. A dangerous raid by Footh, Milford and Moore was cleared by Bonnar. The slippery state of the ground was against close pasting, and the kick-and-rush style was followed. For pushing by the Navy men, the Club were Awarded a foul, which was kicked out. civilians had very hard lines in their next attempt, only managing a corner, wh`oh Clark made” a mess of. The Club were having more than their share of the game at this period, and kept the Navy defending. A foul well up against Bonnar was kicked past by Urquhart. A bit of tricky play by the Glory left wing caused some fun bu did not do the side any good. Bonnar, when hard pressed, kicked into the corner; the kick w.s cleared, and, the Club rushing up. Cooper sent hard into Morgan's hands. From this narrow shave, the Gtory attacked, and, Bonnar mis-kicking, Milford gained possession olose in and scored. Hickling got his hands on the ball but could not hold it owing to its greasy state. The Club, however, were not long a goal down. They were awarded a foul, and Urquhart in trying to clear kicked the ball through his own goal. Club had a splendid opportunity of gain. ing the lead a moment after, as from a foul charge they were awarded a penalty. Lemarchand took the kiok but shot weakly past. The centre-half of the Glory, Crossman, again and again drew up the Club, and his placing was well judged. Pearce was laid out through a collison with an opponent, but was able to resume. A foul against Kew was not of much advantage to the Navy. At this period Morgan was the saviour of his side ; three times in succession he cleared brilliantly. Milford in his eagerness handled, but the kick was not of material advantage. Lane and Booth carried the ball right down the wing; Lane centred and Mil. ford sent into the ourner of the net. The Club thereafter pressed and gained a oɔrner, which was cleared. The Glory right wing then tried to repeat their previous performance. The centre kick went right across the goalmouth, Cottell rushed to meet it and kioked the ball against Hickling, from whom it rebounded to Moore, who kicked past. A brilliant run along the line and centre by Lemarchand proved abortive owing to the Club forwards not following up A perfect bombardment of the home team's goal followed, the Glory having the worst of hard lines in not increasing their lead. They were playing the game best suited to the state of the ground, the forwards shooting for goil at every Clark again kicked by from a carner, chance. and immediately thereafter half-time was called, the scores standing :-

After a short interval, without the players leaving the field, the Cub kicked off, but were immediately put on the defensive. Breaking away, the Club forwards were soon in the Navy territory: Cooper hot into goal, but put the ball into the goalkeeper's hands, whọ threw well out. A second attempt shortly afterwards was sent past The third occasion produced a corner, which Lemarchand kicked by. Cross- man was feeding his forwards splendidly, and occasionally having a try at goal “on his own.” Libeaud dribbled up the wing and shot
