THE CRICKET WEEK.
HONGKONG versus SHANGHAL "The first day of the second week's play opened with glorious weather and, asthe wicket had worn well, it was a batsmans day out. The -Iwo-Majors were due to open the contest, Dyson with 13 and Dorchil! with 1, to the bowling of Potter and Mann. At a few minutes after 10 am, the Shanghai valiants appeared in the field, the umpires being Sergt. Jones and Licut, Edmonston and Mr. Hooper was scoring until the arrival of the Rev. Mr. Dexter.

The next man in was Ilird, who was looked to to help up the total. Mann went on but was evidently not on the wicket, and Dorchill got him away to leg for one and Bird drove him to the off for three. But disaster was in store, as Dorebill was bowled off his pads with Mann's next. Score 221——2.

Preedy was next and took his first ball from Mann and booked by hiting Potter, in his next over, to the off for one. Ireedy was shaping well and his late cats were exceedingly pretty. Both batsmen were taking chances in stealing short runs, but, as both are proverbially sharp on their pins, they managed to get home each
time. But they did it here too often and Cox was run out. "Score 230-10-6.. It was great want of judgment that pai Cox out and was unfortunate for his side, as both Preedy and he were getting set and the last wicket promised to be productive of many runs.
At 11 am. Hongkong appeared in the field and A. D. Lanning and K. J. McEwen came out to bat for Shanghai. Bird started bowling from the top end and McEwen snicked his second past Hancock in the slips to the boundary. Bird, contrary to precedent, started dead on the wicket and beat McEwen with his fourth and fifth balls, but no wicket resulted Franklin commenced with the leather from the lower end and Lanning diove him to the rail. ings for four. Hongkong's fielding generally was right, up to their well known form but Beresford Ash at the wickets had not got into his stride and was not taking them as cleanly as Arthur did in the last in nings. Franklin was bowling in his tricky manner but, as usual, was expensive, as every now and again, ones, twos and fours were for thcoming. Cox was at mid of ostensibly, but more often than not he was wherever the ball happened to be. McEwen drove Franklin twice to the boundary and 20 came up on the telegraph Franklin was pitching them well up and McEwen, with his, long reach, was sending them away with hard drives. Preedy was, we were glad to see, placed in the out field as it was a great mistake of judgment on Dorehill's part to station this fine handler of the ball a squate or long leg all day, as he did in the first iunings. Grauix let one pass him at leg, and four by Lanning brought 30 up for 22 minutes play. Bird was bowling splendidly but Lanning's defence was too good and it was hard luck for him when Bird's last of his 'overstruck him in a dangerous' place, causing his retirement and Turnbull appeared in his place. Hancock replaced Franklin and slung his first down to McEwen and with his fourth, disposed of Turnbull, who snicked a fast jone, into the hands of Bird is the slips. Score 3

Price next came out to join McEwen and Bird sent down an ugly one, tut Price parried it well and cut him for one. Freedy saved 2 boundary from a hard drive from McEwen off Hancock that, strange to say just got past Cox at mid of, and Bird's next over was a maiden. One of the ground boys was fielding on the off side in place of one of the team retired, and brought applause out by the way he took a straight drive. The long kong's fielding was a bit above the average and it needed to be. Hancock's bowling was being slogged all over the place and Price again cut

Franklin was goue along very steadily, as the importance of keeping the wicket up was apparent, and runs would come in their own good time. Ash managed to grub of Power's nut of his wicket and stored his OL. Maan's first was a bye for two and the remainder of the over produced nothing. Ash scored two by fast one off his pads, and neatly drove Potter for one and Franklin drove Maûn to square leg for four, and

Maan would occasionally get one past Franklin that caused a murmer of relief to go round the ground, when it was seen his, stumps were still intact. Ash was batting better than we have yet seen him and surprising onlookers by his clean driving. Mann clean bowled Franklin with his third in his next over, as the batsman never saw it and played all round it as well as being late. Score 47-3-3-
Things were looking bad for Hongkong when Arthur went in, but he got Mann away for four and so went up. Beresford. Ash ha l'otter's right into Mann's hands, who dropped it, and the two batsmen stole a smart run from his next drive. The home side had been in for fifty-three minutes for 60 runs and Ash was fairly set, but the light was getting bad and Mann clean bowled Anher with bis next. previously having stopped a throw in with the most prominent part of his person. Score 63~1~3.
llyson was next to join Ash, who drove Potter for one and the latest
mani snicked another for a single. Mann was tiring and Dyson cut bim for two, and 70 went up. Dyson was batting more free- ly than in the first innings and reaching well forward, was scoring as he never would have done had he confined himself to his former rather cramped action. Ash got Mann away to the stand for four and finished what would otherwise have been a maiden.'
Stanion now relieved Potter at the lower end and Dyson seemed to take to him at once, and put his third hall to leg for two bringing yo to view on the Telegraph. V. H. Lanning went on in place of Mann at the top and to Beres- ford Ash and was right off the wicket, his third and fourth being wides and Ash not getting a bit at any of them. Stanion appeared to be bowling equally as widely, and Dyson cut him for two and ran a third on the overthrow. But achange was coming, as Ash hit the next ball to Rose, who held it and closed a most meritorious innings fna 36-Score 84-5-36-Beresford Ash, stand had been of great valere he had stopped what had looked suspiciously like a rot setting in and had played dashing cricket right from his first over. Dorchill followed and played to Stanion, put him neatly away to square leg for one, and Dyson repeated to the curiously the twa not out men, Dyson and off for a single. The bell rang for a finish and Dorchill were exactly on the same footing as in the first innings viz., 13 and 1 respectively.
