MAGNIFICENT CENTURY BY CAPT.! BARRETT.
The cricket yesterday was optirely dominated by the splendid display of Chpt, E. I. M. Barrett who went in first wicket down with the score at. 18 and was second out at 173. Barring a lucky shot or two in the seventies and eighties he gave only ons real chance as far as could be seen, and scored his runs in just about two hours. It is his first century down here-indeed he tells me that he has only once before made fifty on the ground. Doubtless the "softish wicket, so like the one he is used to at Shanghai, was a factor in his success.
It was beautiful weather when the Services, won the toss yesterday morning and elected to bat. The wicket was on the soft side and clearly was not easy. The ball hung a good deal 'at tines.
Until the fifth wicket fell at 84 pothing particularly exciting happened. Every- one got a few and no one very many. A bad collapse was only stayed at the end by a fine last wicket partnership be- tweep Col. Cantrell and Major Lightfoot. In Shanghai's innings, as has been said, Barrett overshadowed everyone. Divecha was in over two hours for 28, a dreadfully slow performance. Appar catly he cannot hit, but one wonders if they ples three day cricket in Shanghai. At the close, with a falling light wickets full quickly, but Shanghai's game is of course, now to get runs or get out, if they are going to have any chance of forcing a decision.
THE PLAY
Mansel-Smith and Isaacs started the bowling in the morning but the former proved expensive and was relieved by O'Hara after four overs. Isaacs was on at the Law Courts end and bowled very fairly for an hour, though there were rather too many loose ones among his deliveries. He bowled Armitage with a beauty,
Leach relieved him at noon and off him Debbie was missed by Divecha at short cover, while Sturgess was in consider- able difculties. The batsmen managed to get a few fours, and the wicket secm- ed to be playing well enough. At 84, however, disaster befel the Services a Dobbie tried to pull O'Hara and was Just easily taken by Burn at mid-on. after Sturgess was taken as cover off the same bowler, and Leach bowled Venn for duck. Both bowlers were putting down good stuff and the batsmen geemed all at sen until with 97 for 9 wickets on the board a stand after lunch was put up by Lightfoot and Cantrell. The latter, espe cially, hit out gallantly, but he was badly dropped by Divecha in the deep gif Leach. At last at 124, Mansel-Smith who had relieved the Doctor, bowled, Can- trell with one that kept very low indeed. The Services batting-for a side, which was said to be stronger in that depart ment than our Interport side-was very disappointing and they will have to do better to day to avoid deleat.
With a large portion of the hill removed it has been possible to construct a road joining the two parts of Nathan Road, thus making Kowlera's main through fare a straight road of some two miles in length. This new portion was opened to trafic for the first time on Wednesday.
There was a difficult turning in Nathan Road, just beyond the Po Hing Theatre, and during rainy weather, it had always to be negotiated with great care by motorists.
..
It is therefore a relief to drivers that the corner has been eliminated by the roadway being straightened. Work has been going on for a considerable time, but removing a large portion of the hill
ns not an easy task.
It will be remembered that Coronation was the name of the continuation of Nathan Road North of Waterloo Road.

ALLEGED RECRUITING FRAUD.
MEN TRICKED BY ALLURING PROMISES.
Cheung Lok appeared at the Central Magistracy yesterday morning, before Mr. R. E. Lindsell, charged on remand, with unlawfully detaining Wong Ping against his will and with intent to put him aboard an emigrant ship.
The complainant's evidence and that of two other witnesses was to the effect that while working at a bridge near their native village in Kwangsi, the defendant approached them and offered to enlist them as soldiers in Canton. The pro- thém were very apects held out to alluring.
They put themselves under his guidance and came down to Hongkong. They were kept one night in a local emigrant's hotel, and the next day they learned that they were be taken to Java.

Questioned by his Worship, defendant said that his intentions were bona-fide. He wanted the men to join as labourer emigrants to Java, and that he had never dereived them into thinking otherwise.
Saying that he wanted to consider several legal points involved, his Worship remanded the case till Tuesday next

BOXING.
EWIN AND MORRIS MATCHED. ·
FIGHT TO TAKE PLACE ON DECEMBER 4th.
The big fight at the Hongkang Boxing Association's next tournament, to be held at the City Hall on December 4th will be a 15-round bout for the Welterweight Championship of the Colony between A.B. Ewin, of H.M.S. Hermes the holder) and Stoker Morris, of the same vessel.
The matching of these men is certainly an excellent idea, and Hongkong boxing enthusiasts have long been waiting for it. Both men are fine fighters and clever boxers. Each of them has also met and defeated Jim Cartlidge.
..
Such a 6ght will certainly attract a full house to the City Hall when the tournament is held.
Leach and Livecha opened to Cantrell and. Debbie and the former batsman after playing one or two fine shots was bowled by Dobbie with the same ball as in the first innings of Shanghai in the Interport, or so it appeared Barrett then came in and hit the bowling all over the ground. He hit two big sixes of Cantrell in one over, one pitching over the tram-lines in Des Vaur Road, and the other above the first floor of the Law Courta. He should have been caught in the deep by Hussey once, and perhaps by Evers from a skier at mid-on.
