SPORTING NOTES,
The past work has been mide memorable in the history of Hongkong sport by W. C. D. Turner's score of 1998 against the United Services on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is said that Turner really cache:l the coveted Begond century," runs off his bat being wrongly credited by an Hapir- to the byes; but I cannot vouch for this. Twe reus, however, make no difference to so fine a performano, which conphal with his two provions hundreds and his 88 against Shanghai-not to mention his record last sa-mark him out as one of the best bats the Far East has ever seen. It is with great regret that Hongkong will see him depart next work. He is always an intrasting playor to water, for ho joins au ability to scor at a good pace to fluixad atyle. R. Hononak's 130 in the satno moh was overladowed by Turner, but was nòverthelyssa sterling inuings. He took longer than Turner to pat his eye in, most and never serred as Esst, but ho is a valuablo balsmus; in bowling he did not meet with so mual saccess as of late. But for these two men, to H.KC,C. would have done poorly; 71 was the total combination of the other din Scoring on the part of the Services was much more level; bat Heath's 75 in the first innings stood out by a lot As ho sis, tok G wickets for ouly 49 rats (in an innings of 437, he is ontítol to rank with tho two Club babes as a hero of the match. There ។ is no better all-round athlete in the Colony
than the Muhratta lieutenant.
To-day the central Cricket Ground is taken for a game between the II.K.C. and a Horkey Club team optained by T. C. Gray, Hon. Sec. of the H.K.H.C. As H. Hancock, Capt. P. G. Davies, and other prominent cricketers figure in the ranks of the Hockey Club, the match should bo interesting. Other Extures to-day includs the Loagus matches between the Cirit Servies C.C, and R.AMC, and the Craigen- gowor C.C. and the RE. Neither the H.K.C.C. Reserves nor the Parsnes take the field in the competition, and H.M.S. Tamar has scratched. Unless the Club Reserves can overtake the Royal Engineers in the fow remaining fixtures thers is not likely to be any change in the pro- sent ardur.
A very interesting Association football match comes on for decision to day on the Club ground, the H.K.F.C. and U.M.8. Ocean meeting in the second round of the Challonge Shield. The Club bas a full team now, Danby having gons forward again and C. T. Kew coming in at half-back. Judging by tho por formances of the two teams against the Cressy this week, the civilians should havo a fair chance of vistory, for whereas they drew with the Cressy team on Monday in a friendly game, the score being I all, on Thursday the Greasy inflicted a 4-1 dofest on the Ocean, the game being a Chica (Naval) Leaguo fixture. When I wrote last week I was aaaware of the Albion's defeat of the Tamar sud the Cressy's victory over the Sherwood Foresters in the second round of the Shield. This ignorance was shared by the general public, as both matches were played off without the previous advertisement custom ary in other seasons. This is a pity, for both matobes seem to have been worth watching.

"A good win," he commented, "All was fair from start to finish and the wickol just as good when the last bull was bowled as on Friday morning. The auccess of Gregory and Hopkins was very gratifying, not only to the selectors but to all the players. who know what they can do. I think our fielding in the Englishma's first faringe was equal to anything over done by the Australings. It was not even excelled by the work accomplished at Manchester, whop wo won by 3 runs. The match was played in the most friendly spirit bronghout. Warner sad Hayward played fine cricket on Tuesday after noon, and gave their side a good start against the big total they had to face." It was really a most enjoyable geme." Warner, the English captain, did not attempt to minimise the opponents' success. "It was a capital match," Le said, "fought out under absolutely even conditions. The wicket is na good now us at the start, and it made absolutely no difference who won the toss. Our fielding and bowling' were all right, but our batting failed."
After the last match the English teata visited Tusmonis and mat the Colony's representatives: Warner's men scored 185 in first innings, and closed their second innings with four wickets down for 351.
