HOLIDAY CRICKET. HONGKONG C.C.*. GÄRRISON.
On a plumb batting wicket, the Arst match was commenced yesterday in the triangular cricket matches organised by the Hongkong C.C.-the Club meiting a strong Garrison claven The Club had several changes from the published, the absenters being R. A Brand A. B. Raworth and C. W. S. Johnstone. The absence of Brand and Johnstone some what weakened the bowling, but the Garrison ware such a strong batting side that it is a moot question whether, on that wicket, the soldiers would have made less runs than they did. Place might, however, have been found in the team for Stalker, who i docidedly more useful man than Paravičini.
MacPhail came
into the team as wicket-keeper, and was nota glaring success.
He has yet to learn to gather halls on the leg aide. Blaker deserved to come into the team, if only on account of his smart felding at point.
The Garrison, though strong, wore not as formidable's side as they might have been. Lieut Co. Wyndham, of the Wilt-
xhires, was rightly included in the team after all, Lieut. Bryson, the R.G.A. bowler, was unable to play owing to ill- acas. and in his absence there was no question but that Gunner Baines should have been put into the team.
Capt.
Wahl, originally selected, could not play, and his place behind the wickets was taken by Lieut. Clauson. The Garrison been posible to include Lieut. Col. Coles team would have been stronger if it had
Capt. Gray.
