A detailed account of the match between Hong Kong and The Shanghai appeared.in the Daily Press yesterday morning. Hong Kong team returned by the Empress of Canada yesterday afternoon and our correspondent discussing the game remarked. "In the last innings Shanghai were aided by wind and wicket.

2 fine inauspicious. They were too much for us, but it was eporting game and that's all that matters. That Shanghai won instead of Hong Kong is of secondary importance. They were- taking it all round-a better team than we, especially in bowling since their attack was considerably more varied than ours. We had to rely too much on Erskine and Musson. If it was any one individual's match it was Dr. O'Hara's. On the first day he got 19 'not out and then bowled 91 overs (14 maidens) for 16 runs and 3 wirketi; on the second he bowled 14 more overs and then helped himself to 96 in just over hours, and on the third be bowled 19 overs for 11 'runs-a wonderful feat for a man of nearly 50 and one of the Doctor's weight and build.
Two small incidents, the one amazing, the other curious, are left to be recorded. During his 80 Donald Leach hit one hard to leg and all along the carpet. On its way to the boundary the ball surprised an unsuspecting sparrow which was too much interested in its own affairs to bother about the cricket.
The second occurred in connection with the running out of Divecha. There was an easy run for the ball had gone past Sayer. - Melsome called and rag, but Divecha hesitated. It is whispered that under the uncontrollable impulse of the moment the umpire » muttered at Divecha" Run, you little devil."
One other episode. We were considerably braced on the way up to Shanghai to find that we had on board a wizard left-hand bowler, qualified to play for Hong Kong, whom we named Woolley. She would probably have been included in the side instead of. Erskine, whom she bowled at the nets, but unfortunately it was then discovered owing to her pronunciation of "Foch" (a regular Shibboleth) that her birth-place was not in Kent but somewhere across the North Sea. This deception was fatal to her chances..
