SPORTING NOTES.

There have been rumours during the wook of possible alterations in the composition of the Interport team, bat there is now no idea of change. Fossibly, had W. Dixon boon able to join the team, one of the first choices might have fallen to twelfth place, for Dixon's 25 wickets for 14 runs upiwe last season and his general good play arp a bigh recommendation. But he is not available, and so the team stands --unless, as is possible, it is to be feared, que

of the eleven playere may have to decline at the lest moment. The twelfth man has now been chosen in the person of A. P. Lawe, a very capable all-round cricketer.. Had there are ether left-hand player in the selected XI ivany would have preferred to see J. E. Loo as reserve, as there is no harder working cricketer in Hongkong than he is. But the discrimina

tion between the two was a difficult task.

The Interport men will have another good text to-day, when they meet a strong eleven of the Rest, including seven of the team which was no soundly defeated by them last Saturday. After that game it is impossible not to feel confidence in our chosen XI. to bast any team which can be raised in the Colony and the Harbour. By the way, if it be permissible to mention betting (aud this is not the London Daily News), it is said that Shanghai men havo confidently been offering 3 to 1 ou the chances of their victory; and in Hongkong to 1 has been given against our success. May a surprise turn up! is the wish of this Island. After all, such surprises do occur in cricket, and they have not been unknowa in Hougkong Shanghai Interport games.

We cannot

those who are in sympathy with the adventurous traveller onu but follow bis story with vivid interest. Dr. Stein started with long experience of marching and camping on Indian ground. He speaks a great number of languages and dialects familiar in the Punjab and the Northorn Indian frontiers, and thus, though ignorant of Chinese, he was well equipped otherwise for intercourse with the inhabitants of the ado- Chineso regions. The Survey of India Dapart- ment gave him liberal assistance, and he repeatedly acknowledges bisgratif adoto the Indian Govern- mant,inspired by the Viceroy's personalinterestin the history and autinuities of the East. He found for the Chinese officials, courteous and helpful to

bin. The result has been a remarkable cour tribution to the knowledge of Central Asian history during a period about which the incitern world has hitherto been almost entirely in the dark.

The principal batting and bowling averages of the H.K.C.C. were published (at last) on Monday; but there were a few figures of interest Also in the list of those who played in less than eight innings each, which was not published in the papers. The batting averages of Liont. France-Hayhurst (110 in 3 completed innings) and A. C. Elborough (102 in 2 such inninge) are of contse artificial, fine bots though both may have been. The following averages are worthy of note: C. R.S. Cooper, 42 for 4 completed

29 Radatiffe, innings; Copt. Trent, Allenby, 29 for 6; Lients. Blair and Gouldemith, 24 for 5 and 7 inningsrespec- tively. Among the bowlers, E."W. Fitch took 19 wiekota for undor 9 ans each; T.-E. Pearce, 11 for 19,95; Francs-Haj hurat, 15 for 12; A. W. McKinlay, 13 for 12: and S. Powell, 11 for 13.

After all, the Hongkong Boat Club finds itself unable to end up a four to the Shanghai Regatta, the failure to get away of one of the hoped-for men making it impossibio to get together a crew to uphold the fome of Hong kong. This is a great disappointment to the rest of the row (if one can say the crew, soding how often it had to be changed, and to the Beat Club generally. Next year better luck may be experienced, but it is unfortunate that now, when Hongkong rowing is above the average, we are not able to give worthy proof of

It would be extremely difficult in the course of a short review to give any adequate idea of Dr. Stein's discoveries and contributions to

What stands out in the book is the early spread of Buddhist teaching from India into Central Asia and China, probably the most remarkable contribution made by Indis to the general development of makind." The origin and history of the culture that once flourished in Baddhist Khotan, says the sather, are faithfully reflected in the remarkable series of sculptures and paintings which the ancient shrines and dwelling-places, after la ng centuries of burial beneath the sands, hore şi olded up.
