.M. W. Turner, left and 2. c. Mittar, right two-former members of the Club rugby fifteen who are away from the Colony at present, the former being un leave and the latter having recently been transferred.

FULL programme of cricket matches has been arranged for this afternoon; but chief interest will be centred on the First Division TWO EXCELLENT league match between the Indian Recreation, Club and the Army on the former's ground at Sookunpoo. Both teams are at full strength and a good match is likely to result in a division of the spoils.

After their fine victory over the HKC.C. last week, the Kow- loon Cricket Club, will start favourites in their friendly against the Club on the latter's ground, where there is bound to be a large number of people to watch Arthur Lay, the Kowloon open- ing batsman, who has shown such good form to date.-

There are a number of other friendly fixtures, but as far] as can be ascertained, the Indian v. Army match is the only league enragement for the afternoon.
