SECOND DAY, DECEMBER 28TH. At the end of the first day the Vi- sitors had scored 104 in their first in- nings, and at their second attempt 129 for seven wickets, the Cricket Club team having been disposed of in their first essay for a grand total of 62 runs..

Play was resumed yesterday shortly after 11, the two not outs of the pre. vious evening, Parr and Newington. facing the bowling of Travers and Stebbing. Both men got woll set, aud rapidly ran up the score, Newington .especially batting in good style. Forbes was at last deputed to relieve Stobbing, and the change had the desired effect, Parr falling a victim to one of the slows after scoring 22. Windhan only scored a single when be was caught at the wicket off Charley, who had taken Travers' place with the ball, and Bullock also fell a victim to the same combination, leaving Nowing. ton to carry out his bat for 32. Tho innings closed for 117, leaving the Club to get 220 to win.

To achieve this seemingly impossible. task Forbes and Bell Irving commenced the second innings for the bome team, Walker and Hillyard again trandling for the visitors. When only 5 bad been registered Forbes was smartly taken by Hillyard in the slips off Walker, and Hyuos took the vacant wicket. A good stand was made until Irving was bowled off his pad for a carefully compiled 9, the score stand- ing at 29 for 2 wickets when play was adjourned for tibin, Hynes being not oat with a rapidly compiled 16.

Both these questions wore evidently too kuotty to be dealt with summarily, and have been shelvel until the spring.

The Rasso-Danish Company will doubtless endeavour to hold on to the arrangement as originally agreed to. which would give them the virtual monopoly of the telegraph communica- tion with China for a period of twenty years; but on the ground of general. expedienoy alone this concession is not likely to be ratified. Morever, it is not possible to congratulate the Com- pany on the expedition shown in the construction of the line between this and Tisutain, for cousidering the extra- ordinary facilities granted and the foot that the material was distributed along the entire track, which is over a per- fectly level country, the mere erection of posts and stretobing of a wire should have been accomplished in far less time, and the line in working order long ero this.
