R. ABBIT'S WEEKLY REVIEW..
Two whole Lengue Matches in one Saturday are' a' most welcome currence for the poor scribe who has to turn out a weekly article. One of them indred was a very tamo uffair and went very muchas had been expected, but there were ataru and excursions in the other where a bit better ground fielding might well have changed the issue. There is no duulit that the Gun- gave the Indian Recreation Club the very devil of a fright. This does not necessarily mean that I the Indians are a worse side than I have maintained them to be.

By the courtesy of the H.K.C.C. the local University match took place yesterday on the Club ground, and after some years the Dark Bloos, who were favourites, won pretty comfortably. Wood won the toss and, after Bayer had hand a life in the slips carly on, he and Griffiths settled down to play at tractive cricket.
