CRICKET NOTES.

We are now within thinking distance of the Interport matches and no official programme has been issued. In the "Sporting. Annual," which has created so favourable an impression everywhere, a programme had been published, but owing to the inadvertent arrival of the latest typhoon, that has alt bean knocked on

the head. Now that the powers that bo know fairly accurately when the visitors arrive, it is to be regretted that an official programme Ins not been issued. Why is it that they do not recognize the event as something that sects the Colony-at sayrate the sporting

P

section, instead of an event of interest only to themselves ? It is always painful task criticising other people, but here there appears to be a concrete reason for it. Seore. tarios who have the arranging of other matolos do not know, figuratively speaking, whether they are on their head or their heels; as a matter of fact, cricketing fixtures had all been postponed anticipating the opening mastch on the Club Ground, Knowing this, as Boon as those concerned were aware of any deviation from the original programme, it would, have been an not of courtesy appreciated by everybody to have published the foot. At last the final selection has been mado, and the team is one that should give a good account of them- selves in the triangular contest, It might give rise to unpleasantness to criticise the personnel of the team, so one will be pardoned for refraining. One thing is certain, and that is, that they carry the best wishes of all in the tourney, and may the best team win.

THE TEST MATCH.

The test matek on Saturday was a fair demonstration of the abilities of our side. R. E. H. Oliver has once again shown his usefulness with both but and ball, Harry Hancock has lost none of his form and did well with the willow and behind the stumps. It is a pity that wo are without his services for the Interport match. Capt. Baird played a delightful in- nings, and all cricketers will be disappointed if he does not do well next week. Turner lifted one of Hutchison's deliveries rather short and was caught before getting set, but there is no doubt he will play more cate fully against the visitors, and his average a hould be a good one. Edwards played mere onreful. cricket, and although he gave a chance to cover point before retiring his innings was most attractive. Elborough is in good form, and played a useful innings, and he also retired;

.he was very sound behind the stumps. Pearce did not do well, but he, too, will probably play more carefully and score better against the visitors. It is a pity that the Rev. W. H Manndrell got out at such an early stagà. Ono remembers well his last year's centuries, doubled on one occasion, to the writer's recollection. Capt, Garnett was top scorer for the afternoons and bowled with his usual success. Hatchison. came off well with the ball and appeared to bo the only trandier to trouble the Probables; in addition to soaring three wickets, he was missed twice. Considering the remarkable success of the Singapore team against au Australidu XI. containing five of the international team, it will not be strange if local wisklers of the willow feel concerned as to their prospects against thia redoubtable combination.

In every instance witnesses were found who by their evidence brought about the collages of the presention.

INTERPORT CRICKET.

COMMENCEMENT, DELAYED.

Owing to the late arrrival of both Shanghai and Singapore teams the series of interport ericket and tennis matches will be dolayed.

Instead of commencing to-day (Friday) with the evntest between Hongkong and Shanghai at cricket, the tournament will open with a tonnis match between Hongkong and Singapore. At present it is not known whether the Shang- hai contingent includes any tennis players In this connection it is interesting to note, from the book on In'erport Cricket published by Mr. J. W. Baims that of the fifteen matches played between Shanghai and Hongkong, seven have been won by the northern port, soyon by Hongkong and one match drawn. In like manner hours are even between Singapore and Hongkong, each having wou three, but

between the Straits and Shanghai the honours rest with the southern men, who have earned two victories as against one by the northern

men.

The Programme for the Interport meeting is as follows: Friday, Nov. 19-Straits team due to arrive 8 m. per 8. B. Palawan'; Shanghai-team due to arrive 5 p.m. per R.M.S. Empress of India.
