INTERFORT TRIAL CONTINUED.
In spite of all the rain a start was made about 11.30 am, yesterday, though the ground was very much on the soft: side, Sayer had made 19 when he was bowled by Yallack, though he was lucky to survive an appeal for a catch at the wicket, of Goodwin earlier. After a slight stoppage caused by a shower, the game proceeded, and Remjaha was run out. He called for a very short one to cover and was properly sent back by his partner. He appeared to have recovered his ground but the umpire ruled against him, his bat apparently being in the air. Staudage did not shape confidently and was shortly after smartly stumped by Jex. The rain had been falling heavily for some time and just before 13.30 play was stopped and an early tillin taken.
At 1,30 the weather improved and play was possible, though the wicket was very dead and the towlers could not get proper foothold. It is surprising there- fore that except Fincher, nearly every- one failed on what was an easy batsman's wicket. Fincher played his usual steady game to start with and opened up very well when Bridgeland went on with his slows. He might have been caught at the wicket after fifty but otherwise gare no chance. Goodwin was easily the best of the bowlers.

In the second innings, Lightfoot played a nice forcing game and was well taken". Sually in the deep feld off an off drive, which he slightly mistimed. Lammert and Brownjoha both paid. the penalty for going after Bowker's off ball, both catches being remarkably nice Parker was lucky not to touch a few of the first balls he got, but went on to make a hard-hit 27. He does not, how- ever, impress one as being at all safe, Bridgeland again played very attractive cricket for 43, and, save for a tendency to put his left leg down the wicket in- stead of across to the pitch of the ball, he batted uncommonly well.
With 8 down for 11 the innings, was declared closed, and rather a dull forty minutes cricket followed., Ramsay who played freer cricket, than his partner was brilliantly caught by Mitchell in the deep, though how he saw the ball in the semi-darkness is hard to understand, Rumjahn played steadily.

Of the bowlers Bowker, Goodwin, Wales and Parker scem the pick while Sayer bowled very well for his few overs. At present it seems possible to narrow things, down to about a couple of dozen possibles -Hancock, Pearce, Bowker, Owen Hughes, Reed, Ramsay, Bayer, Hayward, Lightfoot, Ismail, Goodwin, Wales, Briugeland, Fincher, Brace, Rumjahn, Mitchell, Parker, Brownjohn, Summers and Lyal. I hardly think Vallack and Standage are up to the Interport form unless they improve.
The question of a wicket-keeper is going to be a vexed one. It is possible that Pearce may keep, if ft, but Ismail' is uncommonly good. It puts at least ten per cent on to Bowker's dangerousness if he has a stumper just behind the bails ready to whip them off if a bateman drags his foot or starts "taking a bit. of the pitch to him. Pearce stands right back, though he stops them all right.

A RUSE WHICH FAILED.
EURASIAN SENTENCED FOR
THEFT
Visiting the premises of Messrs. Don- Kelly & Whyte one day last week, George Clayson, an Eurasian, from Shanghai, represented himself as being from one of the ships in the harbour, and asked for 1,000. Kensitas cigarettes. After receiv--- ing the package, the customer gave an- other order and, while the shop assistant was attending to it, he bolted with the cigarettes. A hue-and-ery was raised, and he was pursued and caught by Chinese constable.
Before Major C. Willson at the Central 237 Magistracy yesterday, Clayson pleaded guilty. It was stated that he had been previously convicted for a similar ofence, and he was sentenced to a "month's im- prisonment with hard, labour.
