- CRICKET.
H.K.C.C.E. THE NAVY.
The above match, which was played on the 7th inst. in dull weather, was the fourth that the B.K.C.C. have played against the Navy this season. The first match resulted in a draw in favour of the Club, the second ended in a draw in favour of the Navy, in the third the Club gained a decisive victory, and in the fourth-the one under review-the Navy equalised matters by winning by 22 runs. Thus, during the present season, superiority cannot be c'aimed 'by either side and it is perhaps a pity that it is now too late to arrange a deciding match. It was known that the Navy would perhaps be alle to put their strongest eleven into the field, as nearly all the oricket-playing ships happen to be in the harbour just at this time. The Club, too, had a fairly representative side, though it might undoubtedly have been strongthened, especially in batting, and, as a matter of fact, it weakness in this department that lost them the game.

The record for nopunctuality was eclipsed on this occasion, as it was 12.20 before a start made exactly 80 minutes after the advertised time! This state of affairs was mainly due to ti e members of the Club team, only five of whom had appeared on the ground at 12 o'clock! Unpanetnality has been a very prom. inent feature of the present season, and taong h in some cases unavoidable to a great extent, it is undoubtedly due to the lack of koopness and enthus.asm that has been so apparent. It is to be hoped that before next season comes round the Committee will devise some
means of remedying this growing evil.
Ward was once again anccessful in the spin of the coin and decided that his side should bat first. He accordingly sent in Lamble and Rimington to face the bowling of MacKinlay and Carter. With 18 scored, Rimington made a fame stroke and was caught at mid-on. Ward followed and a good stand was made, both bats men playing carefully. They were still together at one o'clock when the tiffin ball rang, the score then being 56 for one`wicket.
After tiffin,
as so frequently happens, wickets full rapidly. Ward was the first to go, being bowled for a useful 29—he had helped Lamble to add 4-4 runs for the second wicket-than Dixon was bowled for 9 and soon afterwards Lamble's invalnable innings was brought to a close-he had made 32 in excellent style. Hancock and Elbɔrongh made a bit of a stand, but, after scoring 15, the former was also bowled. Fawcett still

pursued by his ill-luck – Bird, Hooper and Gray all failed; meanwhile Elborough played sound cricket, and, by his skill and confidence, showed that, after all, the bowling was not unplayable.. Woodgates came in place of Fanshawe, who, though olosen to play, never turned up at all, and, with Elborongh, added 18 ruus for the last wicket. With the downfall of his wicket the innings terminated for the moderate score of 148. Elborengh carried ont his bat for an inestimable 45, and too much praise cannot be given to him for his plucky effort. general weakness of balting may be judged from the fact that between them four men. made 129 out of the 148 runs scored and no less than seven men were clean bowled, and that on a comparatively easy wicket! True, the light was bad, but it is to be feared that lack of 'practice was the chief cause of the weakness of defence. Garde was in excellent form "behind the sticks” and, as will be seen, gare away no extras. The fielding was good, though at least one catch was missed. Toulmin bowled uncommonly well and took 5 wickets for 34 runs. Allenby and Ga de started the batting for the Navy, and Dixon and Bird bowled. Allenby gave little trouble, as also did Cooke, but, on Moore joining Garde, a determined stand was made, and, despite tover 1 changes of bowling, the score was taken to 83 before Garde was well caught in the long-field by Gray for an excellent í Civil Servios O.Ů, v.
