BRILLIANT CATCHES.
Minu was not quite so impressive as yester- day. Richardson took two brilliant catches, taking Coward in the slips and Mansel-Smith in the out- field.
Hamilton bowled a splendid length, swerving in deadly fashion.
Mansel-Smith and Isaacs both hit sixes off Minu. To-day's play lasted only 25 minutes
GREAT OVATION.
The Hong Kong team was given a great ova- tion, cheers being called for the winners amid great excitement.
Minu wins the Hancock bat for taking over 5 wickets. He was unfortunate not to do so in the first innings, He is considered one of the best bowlers to ever visit Shanghai,
The Interport Dinner was held last night, The game with the Rest of Shanghai will be started this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The weather is threatening.
VICTORY ALMOST ASSURED,
Play will resume at noon to-day in the Inter- port Cricket Match, with Shanghai facing the stupendous (on such a bumpy and fading worn wicket) task of making 76 runs with only three wickets in hand.
Hong Kong are almost certain winners, and nothing but a sensational recovery can save Shang- hai who were in such a strong position before the brilliant partnership of A. H. Madar and G. C. Burnett which produced 79 runs after the score had read-53 for 7 wickets.
A. R. Minu bowled splendidly, his low deli veries, perplexing all the batsmen, His spot of bowling was brilliant throughout, and as in the first innings he was always dangerous. He and Burnett will probably open the bowling to day and Hamilton is the most likely first change for Burnett
