CRICKET NOTES. KAST WEEK-END MATCHES.
[CONTRIBUTED.]
The win scored by the Royal Engineers ngainst the Craigonguwer C.C. was not such a great serprise to those who were aware that the Engineers, having no football xture, would be able to have. their best or nearly their beat -team out. Lawrence, Heath, Townsend and Pascall- have never before this year all been able to help the cricket team, with the result that the Engineers sportingly kept their fix turca by including four men quite new to the game.
Lawrence and Pancall were especially missed in the batting and bow). ing departments respectively, and from the shape which these two men had in last Saturday's victory. I hope that they may
induced to give cricket a chance, nowi that they have so enthusiastically, aup ported football for the first half of the
Beason.
When all is said and done, Craigen- fighting stubbornly gower, though throughout the League, have been lucky in that its tail end has done the trick " or more than one occasion, and as that aame luck may not hold good, the Club will be wise to nok around for леду Lalent. There are, I should say, at least Lwo members of the Indian Recreation Clab, who are worthy of a place in the Craigengower cleven. In their last two | matches, Caigengower have been without) the services of 1. E. Lammert, who has proved himself one of the best all round men in the tean.
It was the Royal Engineers' first vic tury, and I am hoping for more, as they thoroughly deserte all the success which key gain. Lieut-Col. Coles, the now O.C. is a keen cricketer, and may be de pended upon to make an effort to have: the R. E. represented as strongly as pos sible in future League matches.

The Manchester Regiment, who opened their League season some weeks ago with a match against the University, met that Learn for the second time and scored what must be accounted a surprising win. If it was not hurprising that the University bowlers allowed the infantrymen to score 105 rans in their first innings, it certam ly was surprising that the University could not score more than 61 themselvica Of the Bye matches the University have played at home they have lost two and drawn three. On the last occasion thy Manchesters met the University, the former scored 202, while the University, with insufficient time, collected 131 for the loss of 5 wickets. Playing against the R.G.A. the University scored 176 for the loss of 9 wickets; against the R.E. they scored 108 for 5 wickets, against the Navy they totalled 190. Their score on Satur day last, therefore, was the smallest they have nude this season on their dwi ground. Indeed, excluding their recept match with Craigeugower, it is the smal Lest score which they have put up for a long time
A fenture of the game was the splendid fielding on both sides. The wicket-keeping of Ponsonby Fane was particularly good, He stumped three of the Manchester mes in their recond innings, in which there was not a single extra." The University are certain to do better as the sonson progresses, if they are able to main- tain their full strength, for a side which bas euch all-round men as Marley, Wright, Redmond and Rumjahn and such u splendid wicket-keeper as Ponsonby Fane must sooner or later come into its

OUR GREAT WAR MACHINE. WONDERFUL ARMY MADE IN FOUR YEARS,
BY LORD DENBIGH.]
WAT
Well may the British nation look with pride on what has been accomplished by our race, helped by the willing support of other races of our Empire, who, accord. ing to the Germans, "groaned under the tyranny of the Union Jack," and were ready to seize the moment of war au ik favourable one for revolt and freedom. We have made a more efficient machine in four years than the energy hud made in forty but the making of it bas taught us many a bitter lesson, which we shall do well to lay to heart. Chiefy has it taught us the uumeessary expendi ture of lives and money involved in the creation of a great army and war machine in actual war time.
In the first week of war, when I was mobilising my command, a well-known and distinguished goneral whom I inter- viewed the War Office said to me: Please remember we are playing a gazce we have never played before, and for which no rules exist, so we have to make thom as we go along "--a terse and home- ly way of accurately describing the silan
tion.
#NLY FIFTEEN-POUNDERS. Three weeks later I was told to see Lord Kitchener, who offered me an artil. lery command, in which batteries of my regiment were to be included. When Lold him that we were armed with fifteen- pounders, he jumped from his chair, and stamping round the room exclaimed bit- No terly,
What, fifteen-pounders ! guns, no munition, no rifles, no boots, no anything and we call this an Em- pire!
He added as he turned round sharply, "But don't go and say I said 80."

There is no harm in saying so now.
is only by realising bow hopelessly un- prepared we were for a great war that we can possibly appreciate the extraor- dinary military achievements of this decadept and played-out nation of shop keepers, 20 contemptuously regarded by an arrogant and ruthless enemy.
The development of our artillery in a way never thought possible; the marvel- lous improvements in our #ying service and the daring skill of its men; the in- vention of tanks and the part they played in amashing the Hindenburg line; all these, with the marvels of sound ranging, neroplane, wireless, and photography, and the scientific discoveries of the medical service, will form subjects for many books.
But all these would have been useless without the men of all services, especially the infantry. Nowhero has the British it character emerged so triumphantly
has in all the mud and swamp, the heat and cold, the sand and dust, in which the British infantry have had to "atick it" under shell fre and conditions un- paralleled in war.
Men from civilian life, with gà military knowledge or experience, bave shown what training with grit can do. Stu.born and dogged in defence, brave and akilful in attack, chofal under circumstances of utancat discomfort, the trained British soldier has no equal when properly, lod and addquately provided-as he has been -by the wonderful staff organimation bo- hind the linen and at home. The term British soldier embraces these splendid men from the Dominions, who, more than any, bave left their mark on the Boche..
