The Recreio Indians Game. This match was played on the Recreio ground and was full of thrills. Dome Fortune's poadulum swung first one way and then to other but on the day's play, the Indians fully deserved" their win.

Carvalho called right in the spin' and on whas appeared to be a bowler's wicket, he decided to send the Indians in. As usual Madar and Barma. opened the innings for the Bookunpoo side, but with, only six runs on the board, the latter had the misfortune to play one from, Alves on to his. wicket. From this point nothing soemed to go right for the Indians and their wickets fell with monotonous regularity un- til he score beard read 9 for 78. Thon 8.

With their last wicket stand, nowej ever, fortune favoured the Indiana Ho much so that when Recreio went in to bat they found themselves in sorry plight. As with the case of the Sookunpco, team earlier on in the afternoon, the. King'a Park batsman found it difficult to keep their wickets intact and almost be fore they realised it, they were all out for 88 runs.
