GRAND-RECEPTION.
MR. BROWN'S XI V. MR. HANSON'S. XI. This match was played-to-day on the Club. Cricket Ground. Lieut. Ross, and Smyth Having been handed a complimentary ticket started batting for Mr. Hanson's XI at 11.30. with no suggestive hieroglyphics, inscribed The latter was easily disposed of by Davies upon it I betook myself to the City Hall last- who bowled him first ball. The batting was of evening with the full intention of enjoying a rather slack nature and with the exception of a few hours of mirth and music, and Lt. Ross and Edwards nobody played a really emigrating in mind to the dear old Pai- good game. By tiffin time Mr. Haprop'AXI was ace-in-Shaftesbury Avenue. There was no disposed of för tiz. Wild had the best bowl-long procession of weary waiters outside of the ing average obtaining 4 wicket for 28 runs.
Burnie and Wood opened for Brown's team and their scoring was very fast. Wood put up. a ball off Grimble which was held by Ross. Capt. Rotherham followed, but, was soon dis- posed of and made way for Sheward. Burnie here had got his eye in and was slogging the bowling all over the ground, but taking a ball from Ross too easily he was clean bowled with the creditable total of 67 to his name.
Hooper now joined Sheward and 200 was 1000 up on the board, and only after one hour and forty minutes play which must he nearly a record for the ground. Showard having bowled by Woodgates and Hooper disposed of by Koss the game now became very slow. Wickets fell in fairly quick succession and finally all were out for 262. Hay and Gray, for the losing team, distinguish themselves by their bad fielding.
The scores were as follows

QUILL
MOURNING FOR THE DECEASED
STATESMAN.
The Tientsin haftk—Sin-win-states- tha!~ when news was received of the death of the late Viceroy Li Hung-ching at Tientsin, H.E's" sudden demise came upon his friends and parti- sans in that city like the shock of acute personal bereavement. H.E. had been so often reported seriously ill and had as often revived that his partisans felt almost certain that there was still left to their powerful Patron another lease of, at least, ten more years of life. Hence, near as Tientsin was to Peking people in the former place were just as much surprised to hear of the fate Viceroy's demise as those in the furthest confines of the Empire approachable by the tele: graph. There was aniversal mourning amongst the late Viceroy's friends and partisans, mer chants and officials, at Tientsin and so great was his influence over them that trade was sus.
doars, for thanks to good management on the part of those concemed and to common sense shown by most of the audience the seats were rapidly filling half an hour before the entertainment commenced, so that by nine thinly the house was full with the excep- tion of a few blank seats in the dress circle. It was the first night in Hongkong of the Empire Comedy and Vandeville Company, and the sole proprietors, Messrs. Harper and Thompson, should be gratified at the enthusiastic reception accorded them. The services of a capital orchestra had been ob tained and, I fancy, I am not wrong in stating that among the musicians were many familiar faces from H..S. Ocean. They opened with a lively march, and everybody was soon in apended amongst the former for three days, splendid humour, greeting the rising of the curtain on "Our social gathering" with a good round of applause. Now, at the outset, let me confess that I am not a connoisseur of
female beauty, and consequently am not in a 23 position to enticise the lacks of the dozen "young and beautiful ladies. Nevertheless, I was fascinated, and shall be in my seat at 21nine this evening. They were quite up to 20 reputation, and looked a smart company, a fact in which I was not afterwards deceived. "Caoui Cakelels" was the opening chorus and the company gained the confidence of all not Sunly by their excellent singing, but by tricky and finished dancing. The mezzo soprano, Miss 6 Maud Albert contributed the ballad "t trust 13thee still," and was called upon for att encore
