CRICKET NOTES.

After three days of the Races, with the excitement and hopes en- gendered in most of us by the chances in the Sport of Kings, it is somewhat refreshing to return to the contemplation of, the sport of ordinary people. I cannot, bow. ever, omit a reference to the great pleasure which all cricketers Eave received owing to the recent auc- ress of Mr. Dynasty in winning the Champions. He brings to aid hin in the difficult job of ownership that sportsmanship and cheerful acceptance of bad luck with which we are so well acquainted on the cricket held, and there is not one of us who does not wish as many wins to the owner of the red and gold colours as future centuries,

To all intents and purposes the interest in the First Division of the League ended last Saturday. The victory of Kowloon and the draw between the Civil Service and the Borderers have more or less decided the issur, sbort of miracles happening.

Last Week's Matches, Kowloon sou on their merita.d They started atrociously, as Brace was caught at the wicket from a poor stroke off the first ball of the match while E. F. Fischer was bowled neck and crop. with the RECORD. Ramsay ran himself out, I gather, shortly after but Goodwin, after a life improved things with Lyal who had kept up the other end and finally got a nice 13.

Macaskill, however, I am toki gave the best exhibition,, hitting the ball very hard and very cleanly. The only reason I can find for the utter collapse of the Indian batting is that they have not played a League game for some time and must bave lost their grip!" Lyal
