CRICKET NOTES.
The Cricket Season may now definitely be regarded na over and I presume the various remaining League matches may be taken' as Abandoned.

The biggest surprise of Saturday's cricket was the tremen- dous defent experienced by the Club second eleven. Lacey finish od up quite a good senson by taking 6 wickets for 37 runs The Club batting was not at all con- vincing. However, they managed to reach 125, a score which has frequently in the past proved good enough to win a game. Net so. however, in this instance.. I am told that Kermani, for the Rest of the Junior League, played a really beautiful innings, and after play- ing himself in hit with delightful
freedom. I am afraid that I have never seen him bat-but I hope to next season. Mackay got 44 and te is a player who will probably come on a lot. My impression is that with a lot of coaching he might be quite good I trust the K.C.C cracks will take his in hand next

By the way, when last week I selected a side for the Rest of the League casually and by way of in terest, I must admit that I clean forgot the Naval people. Several of the ships had been out and I suppose that was how it slipped my mind. Of course, Commander F. C. Baker would undoubtedly go into any representative side, and so. I

I was interested to see that the Civil Service turned out an "Old Crocks "side. Brawn used to be a jolly useful bat when I first played cricket in the Colony and they tell me his bat is still pretty straight.
A Retrospect.
As this is the last set of Cricket Notes that will appear until next September or so (and here I seem to hear a gasp of relief go round Bome of my friends)-it may not be amias briefly to review the past season. It has been purely domes- tic, if I may use the phrase. The
struggle for the Senior Shield has not been wildly exciting. It early became apparent that the Club could field a side which would swamp all opposition, and they did, Kowloon became but a shadow of their former selves. With Brace unable to bowl through an injury, E. C. Fincher dead out of form, Lyal gone home, and Frank Good. win only striking at intervala his form as a bowler, they could not win their matches though they were a hard side to beat.
The University were good but atterly unexciting. Their felding was hardly up to the level of the previous season. Navy were very disappointing, even when allow ances are made for the difficulty of felding a regular side. Baker and Singleton alone are of the form that would have entitled a man to a place in the big. Navy sides of three
or four years ago.

As should be well known by this time, the Tramway Company op plied on several occasione, dating Hack as long as three or four years ago, for permission to operate buses on the Queen's Road route, and their requests were refused on the grounds that the route was. unsuited for such trafic. It is con- sequently hitle short of amazing that when similar application was put forward by the Hong Kong Hotel Co., the franchise was grant ed immediately, and buses as large. as, if not more bulky than, any others in the Colony are permitted to operate on identically the same route for which the Tramway Co. had applied.
