CRICKET,
HONGKONG C. C, V. THE GARRISON, This interesting match, which introduced us to several first class cricketers belonging to The Bas, was commenced late on satuislay forenoon, and terminated in the usual draw, The weather was cold and raw, and not at all adapted for enjoyable cricket, The Club, winning toss, elected to assume the defensive, and scored the large total of 225 before the fall of the last wicket, Travers and Whyte showing best with 46 and 47 respectively, procured in both instances by sterling cricket. Dormer played well for 29 before. being run out; Forher, Stebbing, Darby, Deane, and Hughes als getting into, double figures. The bowling of the Garrison was rather weak, and when Travers and Whyle get well sel, it became thoroughly demoralised.
Charley and Aeth opened the Garrison's innings, Travers and Stebbing leathing off the attack. A good ball from Travers' scufed the stranger before he had scored, but a long stand was made when Private White, of The Buffs, bè- came associated with Charley, the Fusilier even- tually being unfortunately run out when he had totalled 19. Hedley played in his usual slashing style for 19 before succumbing to Travers, and then Private White and Captain Howarth kept up their wickets until the call of time, the former carrying out his bat for a rather lucky innings of
wickets, made the matchs a very open one. Full scores are appended:--

Crown in this Colony, ask permission to approach Your Excellency on the eve of your departure from Hongkong to offer you our most grateful ac knowledgements, our most hearty thanks, for the very many favours, we, as a class and as in- dividuals, have received from your hands.
Your Excellency has at all times recognized and admitted the service rendered to the Colony by the many Portuguese who have been from time to time employed in the various Depart- ments of the public service.
Your Excellency has laid down and enforced, the rule that the Portugese ses vants of the Crown stand an a footing of the most perfect equality with every other class of Her Majesty's subjects, and that they are entitled, irrespective of nationality, to pay and promotion in their respec- tive Departments according to length of service and special qualifications.
Your Excellency has rendered those substantial favours more grateful and more acceptable by extending to us at all times the graceful hospitality of Overnment House, by participating as the kaest of the Portugese Community in our national festivities on more than one occasion, by the unvarying courtesy and kindness with which Your Excellency has treated us in- dividually, the patience with which you have listened our grievances, the promptness with which you have investigated and remedied them, and the sympathy felt anal expressed for us when eircumstances left you powerless to aid us.
We thank Your Excellency from our hearts. We recognize and admire Your Excellency's coin- manding abilities, your activity, promptitude, zeal, and admirable method; but we place above and beyond all your other qualifications for government your sense of equity, justice, fair play, your determination that, in fact as Wins in thico; y, all the subjects of the Crown shall participate equally in its recognitions and rewards.
