HONGKONG C,C. v.
"AN ARMY XI."
As the King's Regiment was not able to put a full team in the field, the match arranged for Mar. 18th was compromised as indicated above. An unexciting game resulted. The civilians were all out for 98 but the Army could not succeed in reaching that not very high water mark of achievement by nearly 20 runs. The fol- lowing were the scores:-
