CRICKET.

HONGKONG CRICKET OLUB. V. ARMY & NAVY.

A one innings match between the above named terms was played yester. day, and resulted in the defeat of the Army and Navy by 80 runs. The Club was represented by a rather weak tonia of local players, but with the assistanco of Mr. I. D. Walker, the famous Middlesex cricketer, and Lord Harris, late captain of the Kont eleven, two of the finest batsmen of the age, they proved, as might have been expected, more than a match for their opponents. The Club took the first innings, and before being disposed of amassed the very respectable total of 335 cans, of which Lord Harris contribute 102, and Mossrs. Waiker, Travers, and New. combe, 38, 82, and 22 rospectively. The Kentish "crack" played splendilly, punishing the bowling in a fashion soldom seen put here, while Mr. I. D. Walker, showed all the well known attributes which have fairly placed him amongst the most distinguished bats- men of the century. Stebbing was the most successful bowler for the officers, taking six wickets for 66 runs.

Lieut. Holley, R.E. played a good innings of 41 for the Army and Navy, Henderson (33) and Stebbing (26) of the others alone making any stand; the innings closing for 149 runs, inclu ling 10 extras. Walker's lobs. were very successful, his five wickets being obtained at a cost of 31 runs, Lord Harris also trandled in god form, his analysis reading-65 balls, 6 maiden overs, 25 rans, 2 wickets.

The wind was hardly so favorable for boat sailing as could have been desired, still. both yachts and sailing boats managed to get over the bourse, which was so far satisfactory. The attendance at the Grand Stand was again of the most mengre description, even the youth and beauty conspicuous on the first day boing unavoidably absent.

The sport was again quite up to the average, several of the contests-proving close and exciting.

The race for gigs pulled by naval officers proved a most interesting event, and the victory of HMS.

A clergyman past middle age, after having united a loving couple in the holy bonds of matrimony, was asked by sama prosent at the marriage foast how ha, a bachelor, could consistently en- gage in such ceremonies. The good man's answer was significant. “In à man's life there are two periods when he is likely to marry-one when he is young and has no senso, the other when he is old and lost his sense. He was glad to inform them that he was past one, and had not yet reached the other.
