The Play.
Starting just after half-past ten the not-outs, Mitchell and Pearce resumed in beautiful sunny weather. The position was fairly oven as the Club were sixty-seven runs behind with five wickets in band, Williams and Thorp rowled, and the former continued to keep too much on the leg, The decisivé' manner in which

Club Start Woll.
The Club had about an hour and half-or rather more to get one hundred and thirty-one to win. Stamps were to be drawn at five thirty. Pearce and Sayer gave them an excellent start. The latter should have been stumped off the sixth ball of Thorp's first over, but after that he played bright cricket. hitting Museon for four fours off consecutive balls, Fry then went. on at the Law Courts end and Williams bowlod round the wicket at the other, he had dug a tremen- side of the dous pit on the "over" sticks.

Generally Speaking.
The Army woro a much better balanced batting side, Duckitt and Griffiths, both had a bad match and de Rome would have been useful to the Club batting. It is quite clear that with the exception of Pearce the Club bats don't like and can't play fast bowling. The fact. in that with Beck and Bowker on their side they never meet it. Moro. never did like it, and ho Boems wore than evor at it now! Williams, as I have said, was very lucky not to be no-balled at all, I had a look at his scrape after the innings and it is impossible that he did not deliver some ball over the crease.

The Indian Recreation juniors, leaders in the second divi- xion,received something of a shock when they entertained the Queen's College eleven on Saturday.
The Collego batted first, and with A. R. Suhad, who by the way is one of the I.R.C.'s best bats, play- ing A nolished knock for 41 runa, reached 101. A. K. Sufind was not out for 12 while O. el Arculli mado 11. For the Indians, A. 8. Suffad took four wickets for: 20 runs and. F. M. el Arculli 3. for 25.
Losing their early batsmen vory cheaply, the Indians wore at one- stage threatened with defeat, but going in number eight, B. R. Abbas, who is essentially a bowler, used the long-handle to good purpose, and in making 44 not out, sent the ball to the ropes on no less than nine occasions, thus giving the home team victory by three wickets
For the school boys, M. of Arcamp balwed excellently, taking five wick- ets for only seven runs.
