HONGKONG CRICKET LEAGUE.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE HONGKONG DAILY PHESS."
DEAR SIR, I note in your report of the inceting of the Hongkong Cricket Leaguð that it was decided, on the motion of Mr. Bird, seconded by Mr. Thursfield, to re- fuse the Kowloon Cricket Club permis- sion to run a second team in the lengre. It appears to me that the gentlemen who carried this motion were too hasty in their judgment. I will not say that they showed a want of sport, as it looks more like ignorance than malice, Tho Kow- loon Cricket Club has a membership of 180 members, and several cricketers were likely to join if this proposal had gone through. Why should the Hongkong Cricket Club be allowed to enter. two teams when the Kowloon Cricket Club is refused 1
In some people's opinion the Kowloon Cricket Club ground is supe- rior to the Hongkong ground... This may not be, but certainly the surroundings are superior for a cricket ground. Be cause the Kowloon Cricket Club 2nd team last year was very weak it is no reason why this year they would not be able to put in a stronger team. Last year they had great difficulty in arrang ing any matches at all, and, I believe they played the Civil Service 2nd about ten times. Naturally, the members were not enthusiastic and did not turn up to prac tice. I consider that the decision of the Hongkong Cricket League has cost the Kowloon Cricket Club the certainty of adding several good cricketers (Service man and Civilians) to its membership, and that some of its present members who would have been willing to take up the game with more enthusiast will now give it up for good.-I am, etc.

Miss F. Hunter Watts took no part in The Dells," which is essentially a one- man play, and certainly would never have, had the long life it has enjoyed but for the masterly handling Mathias receiv ed as the hands of the late Sir Henry Irving. The principal part was played by Mr. Ailan Wilkie in a manner which indicated that he had made a careful study of the dead master. In the dreami scene Mr. Allan Wilkie was effective, but it was not in this scene that he showed the true rellection of Sir Henry Irving as Mathias. He reached the crowning point in the second act, when previous to the marriage of his daughter Annette (Miss K. Clanchy) to Christian (Mr. Arthur Goodsall), he is, in a moment of hysteria, about to confess his crise to Christian, bus turns the shrieking confes- sion into a fiendish mockery of laughter that held the audience speelhound. For his portrayal of Mathias, Mr. Allaa Wilkie must be congratutated, and Miss Mathias K. Clanchy, as Annette, the daughter of
Miss G. Littlewood, special mention. Katherine, Mathias' wife, were worthy of Mr. Sibley Hicks, as Walter and Mr. Stafford Dawson as the Mesmerist, performed creditably, but Mr. Arthur Goodsall rather overplayed the part of Christian,
