A resolute innings by G. Gosano, and a somewhat speculative, though enterprising knock by R. Soares, who between them added 67 for the seventh wicket, not only pulled Club de Recreio juniors out of queer street in their friendly cricket match against the K.C.C., at Cox's Road on Saturday, but with J. Gosano, another school boy member of the huge family of cricketers, bowling effectively late in the game, the visitors all but pulled off victory, the K.C.C. having the worst of a draw, with scores of 169 for 7 declared against 107
for 8.
The rest of the seven batsman made small contributions, and one or two were fortunate to score what they did. Nevertheless K.C.C, had runs conceded, ground felding now và again being very ragged.

Distance 45 miles. As a preliminary to the annual Macao Raco it was an excellent one, with light and strong breezes and one's patience as well as sailing ability had to be exercised, especially during the calm yesterday morning-and patience is a very neces sary commodity in a yatchaman's makeup.
