Once more the weather was propitious and the trial match was played on a good wicket. Hancock was not yet fid again, Pearce had a braised haud and Owen Hughes and Hamilton were off with minor injuries. I regret to hear that A. A. Rumjaha will be unable to turn out again for some time as he is suffering from concussion owing to his recent motor-bicycle accident.
Ramsay and Mitchell opened to Har- greaves (Law Courts end) and Powell. In the former's frat over Mitchell was cleanly bw and shortly after Ramsay got his leg in front of one from Powell. Webster and Quick came in and the. former settled down to play good cricket, after a chancey one through the slips: which Pendered failed to get, to? Quick was lucky early on as there was a con." fident appeal for a catch at the wicket, and he was making tracks for the pavilion, when the umpire decided fa his favour. After this both played good cricket watch.

| MATTY” SMITH TO COMPLETE
TRAINING · HERE.
We understand that the Hongkong Boxing dssociation has received notion from "Matty Smith that he will arriva in the Celany on Wednesday by the sa Empress of Canada, ¿
Smith is scheduled to fight 3.P.0. Jim Cartlidge (Imperial Services Champion) over fifteen rounds at the Theatre Royal on the night of November 15th.
If Smith arrives on Wednesday be will have a fortnight in which to train for the contest, and it is probable that Mr. R. G. Hunt will take him in hand, as it is most unlikely that Smith will have made 'nny
gard to, bis sudden decision to proceed."

Omar and Arculli came on but it made no difference to the rate of scoring, 70. going up in just under the hour. About this time either (or both) should have been run out from a fast shot to cover, but Stripp failed to gather a rather wide return. Webster was primarily at fault as he had not. backed up enough. Stripp however made amends later by 'stumping Webster neatly off Omar, the batsman lifting his foot at the wrong moment. Three balls later Omar bowled Wood who was late in playing back. Evans, who came in, was nearly out at slip to a poor shot off Arculli. He never seemed ground. to time the left-handed properly, and, after a big off drive to the boundary, was nicely caught by More running from square third man almost to Arculli really was bowling better than Omar who was a bit on the short side, and, on a good wicket, this does not pay against clasa batting, -
cover.
Pendered then went on at the Law Courts end and Reed at the other. Quick got the latter beautifully past point to the boundary and then to leg for three; but next over he had a go at Pendered and was well taken at cover by Stewart. A watchful innings, though not as bril. liant as Webster's.
Bowker drove the same bowler hard for four and Holdman also got him to long leg for similar number. Bowker then got a shortish one from Reed to the boundary but he was lucky that the ball fell clear of third man and in attempting a big on drive he was caught at mid-on in the same over. Young put Pendered on to the tram-lines and Balhatchet came on for him. He bowled rather wildly and Holdman got him to long leg for four and then nicely to the off boundary past cover. The next hall, un atrocious long hop, he managed to sky to first slip and two good balls finished the innings Balhatchet did the hat trick but his analysis Batters him.
The less said about the baiting of Pearce's side the better. Bowker, from the Naval Yard end, took Wellington's off stump with a beauty in his first over. More was out at short leg, cocking up a shortish one and Stewart who succeed. ed should have been stumped off his first ball, but it got up very awkwardly." He was afterwards dropped by Jacob at second slip but a few balls later was nicely taken as the wicket off Jacob. Shortly after Bowker bowled Kent's leg stump down

Cannion is well known, in the Manila ring and is a clever lightweight with a whirlwind nation. It is. years younger than Smith.
It appears the Oriental Boxing Asso ociation stipulated that. Smith's other
