SPORTING NOTES.
To-day fees rather a pause in cricket, as far as the loading players are concerned, before the two great uniches on the 25th and 26th inst. and 1st and 2nd prax. respectively, when the height of the local cricket season is practically reselnd. The Cricket Greund to-day will be ocespied by the H.K.C.C. reservas and the A.O.C, who meet in a League match. The Club reserves are in the unenviable position of having to struggle ta nroid, tha wooden spoon, but it is hard to believe that this is their proper place. Navor yet have they appeared at any. thing liks full strongth-perhaps in their ojning match they were best represented until to-day yet they have not beou beaten by much in any of their thres matches. Last week, with almost an emergency team, they made a very credital struggle against the unbeaten Civil Service C.C., and might have won had all chances been encepted. To-day they have a mach better eleven. Two other League matches are down for decision, both in the Happy Valley, the Craigengewer C.C. menting the Tamar, and the Civil Service the Parsoes.

The fifth club race (of the Royal Hongkong Yacht Club tako place to-day and to-morrow; the championship class sailing to-day, and the one-designers and second cless to-morrow. Of late weather bas boon extremely trancherous, varying from light gales to calms, in almost loss time than it takes to welto. It is to be earnestly hoped that whorever the wind blows from this afternoon, it will have salcient foren to ensure good sport, and be constant.
The splendid victory of the English cricketers in the first Tost match of the present tour in Australia, by five wickota, is a fitting sequal to their previous foor performances. The under rated team, like a few others that have besa dowried both in England and in Australia before starting on their fours, has done better than sides the selection of which gave satisfaction, Not that all under-rated them. For instance. there is A. C. Maclaren.

The game should give mana indieation of the pro- spects of the two clubs in the coming com petition.
The draw for the first round of the Associa tion Shield seems likely to provide some intorest- ng games. Of the six Naval teams untored, two are drawn together-II.M.S. Glory, the holders, and H.M.S. Leviathan. The Albion and Ocean gat hyes, the Tamar moets the V.R.C., and the Creray the Royal Engineers. The
latter, the Sherwood Forasters, and the Royal Artillery have all entered regimental teams, and It is obvious that the military. intend to make a bohl bid for the Shield this year. The alteration in the rules.should make the chance of an Army victory as great as it was in the days of the Welsh Fusiliers, though the latter had only company tons in. Threo civilian entries have been sacured, the H.K.F.C., the V.R.C. F.C., and the Rovera, a new organisation. The II.K.F.C. oughta be able to oust the Naval Yard team, though the latter bag not been seen at its best yota romark which applies to the old Club also. The V.R.C. meet perhaps the weakest naval tomm, in the Tamar, and may got into the second raud; but the Rovers look out of it against the Forsalers. I fancy that the survivors in the fiva ties of the first round will be the Glory, the V.1.C.. the ILK.E.C., the Cressy, and the Sbarwood Forasters. The round, has to be finished by the 30th prox.

COLLA P8:BÈZ BOAT,
A Engelhardt collapsible boat was exhibited ou hard_the_88. Boribut, at Shangbai, o few days ago, Mr. Engelhardt invented this type of boat some two years age, and he claims for it mary points of superiority over ordinary lifeboats. The boat has been approved by the Board of Trade as a life-saving" appliance, suitable for use in accordance with the rules made auder the Merchant Shipping Act, 1:04.
It is practically a raft with collapsible sides. The flat bottom consists of carpartments Allu with kapok, which has been chosen for its special buoyancy. Around it are very strong collapsible canvas sides, protected with a fender of kapok. The appliance is extremely buoyant, At Singapore it was filled with Malays who did their best to upret it. Afterwords it was led with water, the Malays still remaining on board, but it was as huorant as ever, the Engelbardi boat, bwing to the price of kapak, is rather expensive.

Thousands of tired, fretted kooth. ¡ers, of skin-tortured and disfigured bables, of all ages and conditions, have certifed to almost miraculons enres by the Cuticura zemedies when the best medical skill had falled to re- | love, much jess cure.
Caticaca Treatment is local and con- stitutional complete and perfect, pure, sweet and wholesome. Bathe the affected surfaces with Cuticura Soap and hot water to cleanse the skin of crests and scalea and soften the thick. ened cuticle, dry without hard robbing, and apply Cutfcura Olatment freely to allay itching, Irritation and Inflamma tion, and soothe and heal, and lastly take Cuticura Resolvent to cool and cleanse the blood, and put every fuRC- tion in a state of healthy activity.
More great cures of simple, scrofa- lous and hereditary humours are daily made by Caticare remedies than by all other blood and skin remedies com bined, a single set being often sufficient to cure the most distressing cares when all else fails.
