CRICKET REPORTS.
• Tour Euston oF THE "Hongkong Telegrar,” 518-From the standpoint of a non-technical reader, your reports on some of the late matches' at Cricket are viewed in a comical, rather than a serious light.
It may be noticed from one report that the first lot of players went to the wickets and made a
pour show, and that though there were many who were well supported, a bad beginning was made, and one player was compelled to retire 'leg before, through being clean bowled by the
scorers.
Then the field assumed a different complexion, and a vacant wicket was struck out, but

Owing to the moon. light and faintness of the comet through haze, I could not get complete measuresofthespectrum. It is satisfactory, so far, that the comet is simply composed of gas; how attenuated it must be will be obvious from the fact that on June 18th the nucleus passed close to two small stars, do that the tail passed between us and them, and I could not detect any difference in the light of the star when seen throught the comet's tail and without any intervening cometary matter. The comet will probably be visible with a telescope until September; but, although it in a very fine comet, it has not attained the magnificence that the early observers anticipated. Like the great 'comet of 1880-1843, its perihelion is made very close to the sun, and a much finer display was expected than has been made, and it must now decrease in brilliance, although the tail may get longer.
