THE SHANGHAI MATCH.
By defeating the Shanghai XI, by an innings, the Interport team' have delight ed, and perhaps surprised, their sup porters. Indeed, I suspect they may have surprised themselves a little.

There is no doubt that, the luck was a little on our side, all through. With us most things came off, while they did not ter Shanghai; and the mest skilful part of Powell's innings, to my mind, was his electing to get in front of a straight one at four-thirty, and give them twenty The loss of Clifford's wicket before stumps minutes batting at the end of the day.

Five wickets for 15 runs. Evans was next man in, and for a while he and Leach played very carefully, re- gistering only 1121 ocensional single. Leach, however, was rewarded with loud applause for a fine drive off Bowker, the ball being played nicely clear of 'Han-' cock who had no chance to get to it. The batsmen rau four for the stroke, which however did not actually reach the boundary.
The onlookers were glad to see that Webster, for whom More had deputised in the field on Thursday evening, waa folding yesterday morning, the injury to his wrist while batting on the previous day having been apparently remedied.

From the very beginning the great factor in our success was our excellent fielding, I had recently prophesied that, Whatever else we were, we were a good felding side; but I did not venture to hope that such 2 brilliant exhibition would be given. Except, perhaps, en extremely difficult catch to Owen Hughes -(and no one else would have made it even look like a chance) nothing was misfelded or put down. The whole trend of the game would probably been changed if in that first morning's cricket Barrett, Quayle, or Donald Leach had been drop- ped. As it was, thanks to this and a really fine bit of bowling by Bowker and Reed (white sheets in Wyndham Street! and lighted candles, please ()-our side came to tiffin with their tails well up and they never got them down again. Lowker's twelve overs for 15 mas, and Reed's 17:2 for 3f runs were a bit of work which will bear comparison with uny Interport bowling in the past.
Welister came off, to everyone's delight. There is no prettier bat to watch in the Colony, and everyone was glad to see him score so freely. To my mind, the crux of the patch came when we had lost 7 for 199 and Stripp joined Hargreaves. I rather think one or two catches were put down then. Had the eighth wicket fallen almost at once I think we should have been out for under 150, and there might have been a very different tale to tell As it was, the last three wickets put on an invaluable 92 and we never looked back.
It was a sound piece of captaincy to bowl Quick just for that last oves, when they would naturally try and play him. Hie wicket was the crowning mercy of an eventful day's' cricket. Incidentally, his analysis of lever, 1 muiden, 0 runs, 1 wicket is a bit unusual

$1,000 LOAN TO A FRIEND,
Li Sing Ming made a claim for $1,000, which, it was alleged, was borrowed by the defendants, the Tai Yat Lau. Firma, and Yeung Yat Chi, under a Chinese pro- missory note dated September 12, 19.
Mr. T. G. Bennett appeared. for the plaintiff and the defendants were repre- seated by Mr. M. K. Lo.
Mr. Bennett said that on September 12th, 1993, plaintiff was met by a mun named Yeung Yat Chi in a tea shop at 1c3, Des. Vaux Road Central, and the latter asked him to let him have a loun of $1,000. Plaintiff wout to his shop, got the money and returned and handed it ovor to the second defendant, who signed and axed the Tai Yat Lau firm's abop. Yeung Yat Chi told him that he was the manager and owner of the firm, and bet had every reason to believe that this was true, because plaintiff's friends told him that Yeung was the manager and owner. "He had known Yeung for six years. The latter paid bias interest on three occa- sions, but eventually be instructed Sir.

After his Lordship had adjourned the case until the afternoon of Thursday, the 20th plaintiff said that if the manager of the Company was willing to cut off the cock's head" with him on the state- ments made he would be willing to drop the action against the firm. Yuen Kwan agreed to do so.
