This game on the Cricket Ground on the 20th inst. was not treated very seriously, an anxiety to get away to see the hield tie in the Happy Valley being very noticeable as the afternoon wore on. The Hockey Club went in first on a poor wicket and could do little with the bowling.. H. Hancock at the beginning of the innings and T. C. Gray toward the end did fairly well, but the whole team (which included one Chinese substitute) could only total 87. It was just after half-past two when the Cricket Club went in, Pearce and Chichester being the first pair of batsmen. Pearce was soon out, but when Turner, whose las match this is, and who was captaining the team, joined Chichester, runs came pretty fast. Chichester left at 35 and Ward at 43, but Turner and Walter Dixon passed the Hockey Club's total before the latter was out. Turner ultimately made 70, but his innings was by no means faultless. Mackenzie did best of the remaining men, and finally a total of 191 was attained, Piper failing to turu up. Scores and analysis :-

FOOTBALL.
[February 22, 1904.
The game might fairly have been a draw, though the first half was distinctly in favour of the Ocean. The Club were rather lifeless for the greater part of the game before the interval and courted their defeat. In the second half they played a very good game generally, but their backs were very poor. This disorganised the half-back line, for. Bonnar was coutinaally running back to supply the deficiencies of the men immediately behind him.
He played a good hard game throughout and was absolutely everywhere. Toward the end he seemed to tire and his foot-work fell off; but as may be imagined, he was heavily handicapp d, since he could rely only on F. H. Kew (who was excellent as usual in goal) if the ball passed the half-backs. C. T. Kew and Gray were both good, the former being especially neat in his stopping of the opposing forwards. That Hancock was the best forward on the field was universally admitted. He has evidently not lost his Carthusian skill in the management of the ball. Williams and Cooper played admirably together on the right wing, but Cooper showed a tendency to hamper Hancock by keeping too close to him. Whita- more was fast and offective, and Danby, though his pace is not so great as it used to be, put in soms good work. The Ocean men were a heavier lot, but they played a clean game, and in the first half beat the Club on their merit. Their for wards made light of the opposing fall-backs, and but for the excellence of the Club halves would have had matters their own way, Spinuer perhaps distinguished himself most among them; but Holt, the centre half, was the main- stay of the whole team. The backs too were s rong Hall's accident of course weakened him a lot at the end-and the goal-keeper did his work quite adequately, though he seemed to infringe the law about the number of steps allowed while handling the ball.
The teams were : —
H.M.S. Ocean-McDiarmid, goal; McIntyre and Hall, backs; Wright, Holt, and Schwann, halves; Spinner, Cornabe, Downie, Walmsley; and Vaughan, forwards.
H.K.F.C.-F. H. Kow, goal; H. C. Austen and V. F. Aucott, backs; H. C. Gray, J. W. C. Bonnar, and C. T. Kew, halves; W. H. Williams, C. R. S. Cooper, R. Hancook, R. A. Whitamore, and J. D. Danby, forwards.
H.K.F.C. v H.M.8. "' OCEAN,” The above, a match in the second round of the Shield competition, was played on the 20th inst., resulting in a win for the Ocean by 3 goals to 2. it was a bright afternoon when the respective teams met on the parched-up lappy Valley ground. The Oceans wore dark green shirts; the Club wore white, That the game was of more than ordinary interest was shown by the large attendance. It is very doubtful whether there has been such a turn-out in the Happy Valley this season. The pavilion was filled, while three sides of th field itself were com. pletely lined by a mixed gathering in which, of course, patches of red and of blue were frequent. As is always the 1980 on such occasions, the Service men regeivel far more encourage- ment by way of cheering, applause, etc., than the other side. There is little doubt that mani. festations of good wishes from without have a material effect on the play. There seeined a slight tendency to barracking" in one part of the field, but the individual who made himself discriminating. The Ocean kicked off with a prominent was obviously good-tempered, if un- strong sun in their eyes, and got a foul-kick in centre field awarded them within a minute from thes! :rt. After some rather wild kicking the Club press up towards the Navy goal, and Cooper his kick and the ball went by. The homesters sent nice pass out to Williams, who missed retur ed to the a tack shortly, and Whitamore kicked past. The Ocean now had their first look-in. Downe and Walmsley piloted the ball the wing and Hancock cleared. down the centre; Vaughan finished badly from Another promising opening for the sailors was spoiled by Bonnar, at the expense of a fruitless By a foul which was given against Bonnar for charging Walmsley, the Navy got into close quarters with Kew. After a scrimmage Walmsley seat in a stinger which the Club goal-keeper caught and threw out; but the referee decided that the ball had been over the goal-line, and awarded a point to the Ocean. Vaughan had other two flus tries within the next few minutes, missing by only a bair's-breadth. Hancock with Bonnar's as- sistance got play transferred to the Ocean end, and Cooper and Williams had both unsuccessful shots at McDiarmid's charge. Danby also had a fine long shot after a brilliant run up the wing with equally ineffective results. A dangerous run by Hancock was stopped by Mo.utyre when the Club wan looked like scoring. Then the Ocean got away on the Although there were not so many sporting when uearing the Club goal Cornabe passed events taking place in the Colony as is usual ou into centre and Downie headed the ball through, a Saturday, a larg and fashionable crowd giving Kew no chance to save. Just before half-assembled at Causeway Bay on the 13th inst. time Vaughan sent in a beauty which struck the to witness the first match for a side of the net.

Then Spinner had a try from the right, followed up by another good attempt by Vaughan. From the goal-kick the Club took, up the running. Hancock guided the ball down the centre and passed to Whitamore, who made a plucky attempt, but shot past. A couple of minutes afterwards Whitamore got hold of the ball again, and after contriving to dribble past both Hall and McIntyre he shot at close quar- ters and scored the first point for the Club. Whitamore followed up his success by another try that was ineffective and Williams also had a long shot at goal that struck the side of the net. But play did not remain long in the Navy end of the field; the whole forward line of the Ocean attacked the Club territory, and from a pass by Downie Spinner again beat Kew with a stinging shot. The Club showed no signs of being dis- heartened; Williams and Cooper carried the ball down the wing and a fine centre which struck the crossbar and bounded into the mouth of the goal was banged into the net by Danby. During the last part of the game play shifted about rapidly from one end to the other, first one goal and then another being assailed.

The teams consisted of the following: Civilians.-H.E. Mr. May (1), Mr. J. John- stone (2), Mr. Hastings (3), Mr. C. H. Ross (back).
93rd Burmas --Mr. Simpson (1), Capt. Carle- ton (2), Major Strickland, I. M. S. (3), Major Radcliff (back).
Two quarters were played, and in each the 93rd played a very well fought game, being mounted on much slower and smaller ponies than their opponents. No very exciting play was witnessed in the first quarter, and although the Civilians managed to score two subsidiary goals to the 93rd's one before the bell rang the latter had much the better of it, pressing their opponents hard. On the game being resumed some much faster and more brilliant play was to be seen than in the first quarter, and the 93rd managed to score a goal soon after recommencing. After this the Civilians scored in goals, and pressed very hard. However the 93rd nearly got the better of them, Simpson placing the ball right in the centre of the Civilians' goal within a few inches of the line. His own No. 2. thinking the ball was over the line, did not back him up, and the goal was brilliantly saved by Mr. C. H. Ross, who all through played a very defensive and strong game, especially in the first quarter. The bad luck of the 93rd continued, and by it they lost their chance of the cup
