CRICKET,
ARMY V. NAVY? A match between teams selected from the officers of the Army and Navy respectively, was played on the Cricket Ground yesterday, and ended in an unsatisfactory draw, the soldiers owing their salvation from a crushing defeat to the "old scythe bearer" The Navy batted first and amassed the very respectable total of 331--Hodder (71) and Newington (40) heading the list before being disposed of. Against this the representatives of the garrison could only total 99 runs, of which Dauglish contributed 24 and D'Acth 11 by good cricket.

One of the principal factors in North Borneo's success must be the introduction of Chinese emigrants as settlers and laborers. These emigrants can best be obtained from the ports of Hongkong and Macao, a recent edict having removed the ban placed on Chinese emigration from the Holy City by the Lisbon Government
