To-day Badu Hongkong sportsmen busy chiefly with-orisket and football, interesting games. being promised both on the Crinket Ground and at the Happy Valley. The team to represent the H.K C.C, ». the Newy, should, judging only by last Saturday's match, render a very good account of itself, though room might possibly with advantage bave been found for Dixon's bowling With Fawcett, France-Hayhurst, Powell, Pearce, and Smith, however, the Club bas a good deal of variety in stack, while the batting shougth on paper looks sufficient for a good score.
