gave any chances for he was "so absolutely elevated by O'Bryen's hectic hitting-75 in half-an-hour, my word!" that he "almost for- got Donald had made a century!" confess I am lacking in detalls of O'Bryen's innings also, but it must have been a very hard-hit plece of work, rivalling Pearce's of the day before. Kenneth Bax- ter of the Second Eleven opened the innings with Anderson in the absence of Teddy Fincher, and batted well for his 33, Kowloon declared at 256 for three wickets and had no difficulty in winning the game.
The third bit of hefty scoring was in the game between Civil Service and the Indians at Soo- kunpoo, when 350 runs were made for 13 wickets. The Civil Servants batted first and declared at just
short of the second hundred with eight wickets down. "Dicky" Richardson opened the innings to and distributed ten four's various parts of the ground in the course of making 60, but F. Baker. going in as late as No. 9, was even more forceful and three sixes and eight four's made up 50 of his 61
runs.
The Indians were not daunted when they went in and the first four men all made runs, A. R. Abbas' 37 being the most at- tractive of the lot. No real effort to go for the runs was made but they had no difficulty in earning a creditable draw.

ART EXHIBITION

Three Hundred Pictures On View
The Exhibition of Chinese paint- ings by Mr, Pau Shin Yau which opened yesterday on the 8th floor of China Building is worth a visit. There are about 300 pictures, the result of over ten years' work.
Mr. Pau is a versatile artist. He paints not only a great range of subjects such 88 Ash, animals, flowers, plants and figures, but also in a great variety of treatment, such as decorative, academic and revolutionistic. Although his ver satility has enabled him to work in any manner he likes, he prefers the academic treatment, holding that young art students
and artists nowadays are too revolu- tionistic and out of discipline. And
this is based on sound knowledge gained as a result of over 20 years' continuous practice in the art of painting.
Perhaps the most decorative and westernised picture is one titled "The Pond with Gold, Fish," the
