The most notable feat of the Jaxt week-end was, of course, the rap- ture of four wickets in four balls by Goodwin Mr. R. E. Lindzell ia his speech after the match re- marked that I might be able to atate whether it was a record or pot. I'll admit right off that I cannot give chapter or verAO,.. I am quite sure it was done, be tween 1013-1019. It was either on the Civil Service ground or the Club ground, but I cannot for the lile of me remember which. I rather think it was done twice. I feel pretty sure of the general correct- Dess of my statement even it “a. voice did insist it was a record. I know he's a bigger fellow than I, but I'll risk it and say it's not a record. Anyway it must have happened since 1860 here; but I'm not going through the files to hunt it up.

Do You Live In Kowloon? And that reminds mo; there are two points in which I am deeply interested. The first is the question as to whether, if I came and lived or the mainland, I should be able: to play cricket on Thursday. The second is the regret voiced by the Fresident of the K.C.C. that he Always boa make a speech there. Noted as he is for dear-headed acumen, I am terrified that some day he will get his fourth dimen sion or bumps of locality, dis- located. It would be an awful thing to blow over to E.C.C. tor an elevense on Sunday and find the whole cheerful party had got six weeks hard the night before.
Well, well, my Editor gets fed up if there's too much airy persi- flage (and its so much easier to write than stupid facts) so we bad better alap it about.
Last Week's Matches.
In the First Division the Navy match was, as I anticipated, an interesting game. I gather that the batting order of HK.C.C. was not. the one originally written in the score-book, and consequently print- e in the papers. The Club bad 6 down for 25 when. Hinton came to the rescue. Lightfoot hung ca gamely too and the Club finished up with quite a fair total. The Navy lost 2 wickets for one run and then Sturgess came off again with Armitage, and the side made a gallant effort to pull it off but failed they never really looked like getting them, I am told. Cantrell with 4 for thirty-five in 1 overs was the only bowler to do auch good..
The score hardly reveals how very nearly Civil Service went down to Iniversity There was a bad glare, and that ground is worth about 200 rans the home side. The ball comes of the matting very much slower than ordinarily. This is raining the University batting for saything but that ona ground. Rumjaho excepted there was not a single batsman"to hit the ball hard on the off for runs. I don't mean they were playing crooked becausSEI they were not. But they have no scoring shots on the off because they have learned that it is easier on the matting to wait for the short 'un and sweep it away to leg. It comes off alow enough to wareb. Gittins especially played this shot excellently-but bath he and. Ng were content to play forward to cff-balls, that might well have been driven through the covers, and pat them to mid-off. Lawrence and Sayer were both caught in playing too soon and Wood bowled in try ing to hook a short one for which he was miles too early. De Rome and Hamilton hung on, and after
Ling came in to play very plucky and bright "innings. But the C.S.C.C. team, sadly depleted as it was, were not at their best. Luckily for them they have only a friendly next week and may get their team together. after that I hear Sutherland is turning out Again though whether for the first or second I don't know.

The Indians were für too good for the Recreio" and I am inclined to think they are going to win com fortably. I seem to remember some of the names of the side in the Erst, last season, and the Club is to be congratulated in having arw youngsters to make their way into the first eleven, slik du
The Police, or perhaps I should May Lacey, beat the R.A.0.0. in a very low-scoring game. They have as many points as the Indians but have played one match more, and they are far too collapsible to be really dangerous aspirants to the first position I am afraid.

"BATTING AND BOWLING AVERAGES.
NAVE APPEAR.
Several new names appear in the First Division averages. There are no less than ten in the batting and among them is H. R. B. Hancock who played his second innings, last Saturday. He has an average of 80 runs, being once not out. The Royal Navy played their second match inst Saturday and their third on Tuesday. Three of their representatives are now included, headed by Lieut.-Condr, Armitage with an average of 42,50 runa In the bowling, EW. Hamilton (C.8.0.C.) and-Sergt. Gilford (RA) figure for the first time, while Goodwin (E.C.C) who was left out last week reappears (again."
*
A. A. Rumjahn, the University captain, is the first bata- man this season to reach 200 runs. He has the fine average of 60.60 and now stands fourth in this list. He has also taken 13 wickets in five matchs, although his average is not good enough for him to be included in the bowling list
There is little change in the Second Division, except that E. de Sousa (Recreio) has jumped to the head of the batting Tish and A. S. Sufiad (I.R.C.) has regained his position in the same list.

There is acute tension at Hankow and Shanghai and very neccesary preparations are being made by the Foreign Powers to protect their interests.
In Canton the Shameen Consular Body are enter- tained by the Government officials, Music by a Chinese military band heralds the arrival of the guests of honour and cordial after- dinner speeches mark a pleasant social gathering.
