will agree that the results of the year are very satisfactory (bearing in mind the vicissitudes through which we have pass- d), and that the Company is to be con- gratudared on the fact of being able to show an increased pruit over the previous 18 year. It is at all times a difficult matter to attempt to prophesy as to the future.
I have no hesitation in enying, however, that there is every, indication of an im- prevrat in general business conditions during the coming year, from which I am confident that this Company will receive its 15 duo share of benefit, specially as no effort
is being spared to bring the various de partments up to date in order to place us, in the position of being able to cope with the increased volume of business which wo auticipat

This Hongkong brings hack the Inter- port cricket honour to the Colony, and the side is to be congratulated on its splendid victory. It is hoped that this is the turn of the tide and, that our fast year's failures in various sections of inter. port sport-cricket, swimming, football, Towing golf, bowls, ite--will, during the year, be turned to success.
Coming to the actual results of the match, thesesiring throughout has been very high. In all four innings no fewer than 1,211 ruus were knocked up on the pitch. which shows that it was a batsman's wicket.. All the bowlers on both sides. appear to have been severely knocked about, and the fielders must have had. a great time leather hunting. The sum marised scores for the match

"Hongkong won by three wickets.
T. E. Pearce's effort in scoring 145 not out in the second innings, thus ranking the match safe for Hongkong, can only be described as a very fine display of batting. It more than counteracted any little disappointment that may have been fel in Hongkong when it was learned that he had been dismissed for five in the first inninge. In fine style be car- ried his bat right to the winning hit and came back to the pavilion undefeated. He does not hold the record for the big- gest individan seure in the Shanghai- Hongkong interport matches This is held by Captain F. 1. M. Barrett-the Hampshire veteran cricketer. In 1921 ho scored 165 against Hongkong, ni Shung- hai. The Hongkong skipper's most recent. ffort is a good second. But, even if he don not hold the record for the highest score, he holds the record for the number of centuries scored. He has three to his
redit. They are:--
120-Against Shanghai." 122 at Hong-
kong.
1920-Against the combined teams (Shanghai and Singapore), 111– not cut. Against Shanghai, 145--not "out, at Shanghai
1923
It is also interesting to note that Pearce bas also another big score to his credit. Playing against the United Services in 1981 (February) he scored 01 not out.
A word of praise must also be added. for the other players of the Hongkong side. In the first innings right of our mon turned over gocú average, schres whilst G. R. Sayer and R. H, Wild wern done extraordinarily well, considering that this is his rat Interport match. In: the sceong innings he helped considerably this is his first Interport match. In the second imings he helped considerably with a useful 34. Owen Hughes, also, has done well with the bat and the ball. In the first innings he made 30; whilst his bowling met with some success. In the Erst innings he took four wickets for 92 and in the second he improved on this average by securing six wickets for 74 rune &
