And, as often happens, the question of the welfare. of cricket in the Colony came up the other day at a discussion-ht which I was present. The old quee tion, are we as keen as we used to be? Or perhaps, it would better be cricketers As koen 1. they used to be. It is a difficult question. Those of us who have been here thirty, or twenty years, however fairly we try to judge, are bound in some way to be influenced by the glamour of the past, and to become “Laudator temporis acți.” The only way is to arrivo nt what one thinks is a true idea of things and then discount the goodness of the old days about eighty per cent In my personal viow, there was a great decline in the keen interest, in the Colony's cricket a few years after the War. Before the war the percentage of married men," who wore crickotera, was very small ba Compared with the numbers of bachelors,

It was no donbt partially due to the war and partially to the fact that the pernicious gaure of tennis had been recognised at our public schools. (When I say per

nicious I mean in the sense that it is not a team game. Hundreds of people can get tennis, when they cannot get cricket and it is excel lent exercise and good fun. But I maintain that it should only be allowed in schools to boys who clearly have no aptitude for cricket. Blindly rubbing a fellow's hose into agama ho obviously will never be able to play at all is shere balder- dash.) Anyway, be that as it may, I do think that things were not well with the Colony's cricket in the mid and later twenties.

Last Week-end's Cricket, I have already dealt with thỏ Club-Naty match, and the outstand. ing fixture remaining was the Saturday and Sunday game between K.O.C, and the Army. It was, as usual, a most delightful match and was fought out in the most sport ing spirit possible On Saturday tho Army, who had quite a useful side, did well to get a hundred and seventy-eight. There was nothing outstanding, as Wilkinson, Garthwaite, Stocker, and Mirehouse all got twenties and there were several other useful, contributions Mirehouse, who was not out, should in the Kowloon Cricket Club. They definitely have gone in three places have developed, a series of most higher, if not four, and I fancy ho enjoyable game and to my mind is wont to underrats his own scor- cricket has never been so flourishing capabilities.
