The big race itself was both poor and brilliant. Those who beaten by old Wheatcroft invited trouble, and they got it. Any and ell of the other six could have made the pace fast enough to give thom selves a good chance of winning and of preventing him from winning. In a slow run race, he could be do pended upon to finish as well as, any of them, yet they allowed the distance to be covered in time a third-class pony could do, and Whenteroft, in charge of a veteran who still challenges the best in China for supremacy, thrashed them all, Busy Bee threw up the sponge when he had every chance to win.

I must congratulate M. R. Abbas, the I.R.C. medium-fast bowler, on performing the "hat-trick." He is bowling very well just at the mo ment, and in my opinion, is one of the few bowlers in the junior divi-11.00 sion who "bowls with his head."
On his present form, he is certainly 11.01 worth his place in their, senior
team, and I should not be at all 11.08 surprised to see him promoted in tho vory near future.
