Moriaen sonced a splendid on drive for a boundary. Lanning also had a good hit to leg for 8 off Mackensie, but was caught out by the latter at the end of half-an- hour's play with a ball which rose softly off his glore. Score, 48-1-26. Ross, who was ext anun in, anicked Mackenzie in the slips for 4 with the first ball He was caught off the third, however, by Whitby at square leg. Score $2-2-4. Price took up the partnership with McBuen, who in the next ever put Billings through the slips for and to the screen for but when ends were reversed was caught smartly by Mactaggart in the slips of a snickod bill. Score 59-3-25, The wickete were falling with a frequency which must have -given uneasy qualtus to the batting tenn. Less than 40 minutes had been played and already three good bats had retired. True, they only required something like 30 runs to win, but the "rot" that had set in would require to be nipped in the bud if even that modest figure were to be reached. Tupheil now joined Price. He had not been many minutes at the wicket and had scored nil when he hit a medion paced ball from Mackenzie directly to that bowler, who unde magnificent catch of it after a sprint. Score, 68.4.0. Farbridge filled the vacancy at the wicket. But the "ret" continued. Only 4 had been added to the score between these batsmen when Price was caught at point by Barkshire off Billings, Score, 67-5-5. No less than 42 maidens had already been bowled that morning. This gives some fica of the effective character of the bowling. The felding also was excellent, far superior to what it had been during the first innings of the Shanghai team. Potter, who fol- lowed Price at the wicket, broke the monotony of the game by driving Billings to the or for & honndary and in the next over hitting Mackenzie to leg for 4. At the end of an hour, the storing board showed that 30 runs had been registered. The batsmen in coups tion of the wicket looked like beccusing sel. Farbridge had two good bits-one off McBuon to the on boundary. But Fats spemed to be against the North. When the total had been run up to 97, Potter was caught by the wicker keeper Foules off a sacked bal seat down from McEnen's end. Score 6 6-10. Mann joined Farbridge and several singles off both bats wore hailed as a welcome addition to the some, The wicket was obviously lampy. One ball from Mackenzies and rose sharply and hit Aisan on the head. Under such conditions is was not to be wondered at that so far catches had been responsible for the dismissal of the bats. Billings added to his record of maideas by sending down another against Farbridge. In the ensuing over Mann got away a kit to leg for a single and Fashridge followed up by securing a brandary off the same and, but was clean bowled with the nest ball.

H.M. Dockyard, 15th November. SIE, Commencing in the same way as "One who Knows," I was particularly struck by a portion of his last paragraph, in which he states "If the coolio sometimes tries to make a good thing out of a maudlin 'klusjasket he is only paying back old scores. Your correspondent bridently thinks that two wrongs make a right, and that because the ricksha-ooolie is fleeced (and I may state that with twenty months residence ashore here--the civilian element are greater sinnors in this respect than Jack) he is perfectly free to make up his definit out of the pockets of a drunken sailor.
