In bowling Shangbai it well represented and it speaks well for the strength of the Hongkong batting when such a respectable total of,161 was compiled, Hongkong has reason to be proud of its batting this year, the first 6 wièkets ull realizing double figures. The match is at present in a very in teresting state and though Hongkong has a ose ful lead of 49 runs on the first innlogy the Shanghal team are by no means vanquished yet. The glorious uncertainty of cricket has seldom been better examplified that by the various flickers of fortune this forenoon.

When the score reached 161 Hongkong chances were none tac glorious, as the loss of Turner's wicket, followed by those of Capt.

The advent of Edwards, however, completely profitable partnership between Edwards and Langley was the meats of putting Hongkong" again into the comfortable position they held this moming prior to the start.
