INTERPORT CRICKET.

FIFTH DAY.

8TRAITS V. SHANGHAI,

Yesterday, the fifth day of the cricket mest Ing, saw the opening of the match between Shanghai and the Straits, bat. Hongkong, having won the tournament there was not the same sinount of interest manifested in the match. Fine weather conditions prevailed, and some good cricket was witnessed. Shanghai you the tea and batted first. Habbach, having hart his kree, was unable to take the field, and Lt. Paztod filled the breach.

Barrett and Lanning went to the wicket first. They showed themselves in good batting forma and both hit out well, sending both Hennessy nud Clarke all over the field. When Lanning had compiled 22 he hit out at one of Clarke's deliveries, which dropped into the hands of Eddis. The first partnership had produced was again 36. Lambe followed, but he anfortunate, being caught by Hennessy before he had made s run. This was his second duck of the mosting. The score now stood at 42. Shanghai's hopes rose when Anderson joined Barrett, but rans did not come, at all freely, and forty minutes had gone before 50 was registered Other five runs went to the combination, when Barrett was caught by Brown at mid-on after he had com piled a asefal 23. The score now stood at,55 for the lore of three wickets. Hawking succeeded Barrett, but did not keep his and long, being caught in the slips before he had made a run. The fourth wicket fell with the score at 60. Wilson became associated with Anderson, and Mackenzie took over the bowling from Clarke, The batsmen did not get many opportunities, and Anderson, who had been doing well, found himself handicapped through an accident to his finger. He was soon afterwards caught by Eddis in the alips after he had ran up 19. The telegraph now indicated 73 runs for the loss of five lokets. Wilson, who found another partner in Brand, got several good strokes off his bat before he was caught by the bowler. The score had now been osriod to 30 for six wickets. Shackleton was hie successor, and Clarke relieved Hennessy of the bowling. The partnership batted steadily, and the newcomer got the first sizer of the game by lifting one from Meskensie into the Law Courts. The first century was reached at 12.35. After an hour and a half's play Hennessy replaced Mackenzie, and saw Shaokelion make several profitable strokes from his trundling, which caused the figures on the board to be altered to 110 within a couple of minutes. The next decade was reached more slowly, Mackensie bowling a maiden ovor, and the total was raised to 138 when the tiffin interval arrived After the adjournment Brand and Shackleton continued their good stand and brought the register to 190 before they were separated, Brand being stumped by Maartenes after the bowlers had been changed. Wickets tell fairly fant, Shackleton being caught by Eddis after having contributed 82, bat runs came quickly and 101 had been added before Main was bowlod by Clarke.
