There were two games played during the. Easter Holidays in which several members of the Interport Eleven were taking place. On Saturday the K.C.C. were at

The sailors carried the taking a large part in local cricket day, winning six fights out of next year. K.C.C. started badly eleven. but F. Zimmers. E. F. Fincher, Goodwin and A. T. Les all played nseful knocks. The Argylls' attack is not very strong perhaps, but in Black they have a useful slow bowler, who will. I fancy, get good many wickets in Incal cricket. Yeonun also bowled well. For the regiment, Dewar Durie played a nice innings. He is a useful and steady bat for the first twenty or thirty, and then he opens out a bit. Pto. Taylor and Major-Connel- Rowan also added materially to the Acore, but they failed to reach the K.C.C. score of 201 for nine wickets

GOLF NOTES.

Warm weather during the last fortnight had livened up the Course considerably, but the rainstorm made the greens very difficult on Sunday, and they would have been improved considerably by cutting Bt any rate in the immediace vicinity of the hole, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

D. J. Gilmore is to be congratu- Inted on his consistent scoring in the Shanghai Visitors' Cup, and his score of 93 less 11-72 also took the First Prize for the Medal Round.
