TIP AND RUN ON THE CLUB GROUND.
Hong Kong's Opinion. Replying on behalf of the Hong Kong team, Mr. T. E. Pearce (the Captain) expressed his gratitude on behalf of the winning team for the hospitality the Hong Kong Club had extended to them that night AN They were honoured by the pre- sonce there of HE the Offer Administering the Government and of H.E. Major-General C. C. Luard, and he also thanked them for the great deal of time they had spent in watching them play cricket. He had heard some people call it waste of time to watch cricket, but he entirely disagreed with those people. They who saw the match finish between Hong Kong and Shanghai last Tuesday must have felt that it was a good tonic; if or something. (Applause.) not, well they wanted galvanising
Mr. Pearce went on to say that it had been the custom of the Cap- tain of the Home side to review the game, and he proposed to follow the usual procedure. Capt. Barrett had said something about luck. Well, what he had seen of the game, it appeared that if it hnd kept a dry wicket the result would have been very different. high tribute to Capt. Barrett's re- markably fine innings, when he scored 116 out of a total of 240. That accomplishment, continued the speaker, was one of the finest or hibitions of cricket he had seen. Capt. Barrett's record was one of the best.
Mr. Pearce went on to pay a
Mr. Pearce expressed congratula. tion to Stokes on his bowling, and said that one of the turning points of the game was Allison's logging. After further congratulating the Shanghai team, Mr. Pearce paid a tribute to the way in which Capt Barrett had allowed, and in fact insisted upon Brace, after his ac cident, returning the side. That action pleased him very much...
Referring to the Malayan side, Mr. Pearce thanked them on behalf of "the local cricket fraternity for
sending a side up to Hong Kong, and said that there was undoubted ly cricket in thier side. If the team had been here a few days longer and able to get used to one another, the result might have been different.

MR.” R.. ABBIT INJURED.
Not having had though cricket in the last eight days enthusiasts along the various interport "teanis and some of their ardent supporters played a match yesterday, the respective teams being captained by Licut, Dale, R., and Captain Congdon.
The match was full of interest
and somewhat unusual. No bowler was allowed to bowl more than three overs in succession; any batx. man who played a mäiden over was out: any batsman who had the temerity to make 50 was also.out.
The result was a very sparkling display of full blooded cricket and it is understood that Captain Cong- don's side wont although no seemed very sure on the point." The scores are omitted by request.

Mr. R. Abbit took part in the game but unfortunately, in endes. vouring to pursue the ball into Queen's Road, he omitted to con- sider the presence of the railings and had to retiro for repairs. This leads us once more to consider the desirability of introducing the elec tric hare into Hong Kong.
GARRISON KNOCK OUT COMPETITION,

Playing in the second round of the Hong Kong Garrison Cricket Knock Out Competition yesterday on the Indian Recreation Club ground, the Queen's Regiment beat the Royal Army Ordnance Corps by 55 ruas,
For the winners, who batted first, Taylor hit out freely for his 62 runs, which was just over half of his side's total score.
The R.A.0.C. were dismissed for 67 runs. Elbourne (Queen's) was the most successful bowler of the day, taking 5 wickets for 17 runs. Laks (R.A.O.C.) had 3 for 25 runs.
