SEVENTH DAY,

HONGKONG v. COMBINED TEAMS.

The seventh day of the meeting was devoted to a match between Hongkong, as interport champions, and combined team drawn from the Stralia and Shanghal. Hongkong were with out the services of Captain Baird, who was suffering from an attack of fever, and his place was taken by R. O. Hutcheson. The combined teams were to have been captain ed by Hubbach, of Singapore, but his in- juries made it insdvisable for him to take the field and his place was filled by Brand, of Shanghai. The visitors won the toss and sent in a Straits pair, Granier and Eddie, to face the bowling of Olivor and Bird. The home team had not their fall complement to start, but Lambe and Brand with a "boy" fielded until the arrival of Tarner, Hutcheson and Edwards. The commencement was not suspicious. Eddie was caught in the second over by Bird, and Barrett, who snooeeded him, was out in the same way after making six. 24-2-6.
