CLUBS (23)
Continuation.
the well-known Yorkshire County captain, took a place on the Club side. Play opened before fitting and the Hongkong team went in to bat, Lord Hawke and T. E. Pearce being first batsmen.

"It was a little disappointing to see the central figure of the match dismissed very early for the small score of two runs by R. Hancock. Lord Hawke had evidently not got his eye in, and it is to be hoped another match will be arranged before his departure so that local cricket enthusiasts may see him in better form.
"Of the other batsmen for the Club side de Paris and Daniels contributed a serviceable 54 and 52 respectively, the team putting up the respectable total of 243.
"The L. R. C. Score fell only twenty short of that of their opponents. H. Hancock was in good trim and contributed 93 of this while the score of the two representatives of the newly-arrived Indian regiments Colonel Aitken and Major Lowis showed that the Colony has been favoured with two further acquisitions to its ranks of cricketers.
"Lord Hawke leaves here on Wednesday and will hasten home across America in order to sit on the Committee to select the English team for Australia.
