LORETTO WINS CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP.

(Prom Our Own Correspondent.)

July 23.

The Loretto-Glenalmond match at Musselburgh was of more than usual interest. By winning it. Loretto de- came the Scottish Schools Champion; their record for the series is no defeats. and no draws They had as good an allround team as they have put in the field for many years, good bowlers.. and no "tall," and the only flaw was an occasional slackness in the field. 1. At the start of the game Loretto got rather a fright by the easy. alter in which their earlier wickets fell-six for 70. But D. G.

Cochran (captain) stopped the rot with the assistance of G. B. Thom- son, raising the total from 92 to 310 for the eighth wicket, Cochran, not out, 138. Glenalmond made a care- ful reply, but only managed 105.

In a two-days' match, Edinburgh Academy had a fine win över Marchiston, an innings and 127 runs. The Academy batted well, par ticularly R. K. Millar, N. J. G. Yooll, and A. J. Stewart, the last-named

Unusual distinctions fell to the sports of George Watson's College by the inclusion of a Scottish Cham- pion among the competitors. L. J.. Duna, who won the hurdle Champion- ship at Parkhead last month, was the most successful competitor in the events open to the school, winning five events, and taking second place in a sixth. It was a great afternoon's work, as both the 100 yards and the burdle race were run in heats To win both jumps, both sprints, and the hurdles in one day is proof of unusual versatility, but when the performer Incidentally breaks three. school

records, the value of the achievement is emphasised. Of the records, that in the hurdles was easily the most; remarkable. Dunn's time was re-

turned at 16, sec, which is seldom touched in scaland. It is a fifth bet. ter than Dunn's Championship time, and only a similar fraction lower than Stronach's record. By com parison his 24 2-5 sec. for the 220 yards appears commonplace, but it is a second and a fifth better than the school record; and Els high jump of 5 ft. 74in. was an excellent per formance.

SALE OF STEAMERS.

The Japan Chronicle says:- Regarding the reported buying of large steamers by the N.Y.K., we are in receipt of further information from which it appears that both the N.Y.K. and the O.S.K. are now endeavouring to purchase numbers of ships of 2,000 to 3,000 tons. The shipowners know in what position they are now and demand high prices. They are said to be reluctant to dispose of their holdings at less than 350 per ton, while the enterprising steamer come panies referred to offer about Y300, This, on a 3,000-ton ship is a difference of:7150.000, It.is, therefore, no wonder to learn that segotiations are now at a standstill We also learn that there are similar proceedings, going on in many parts
