CRICKET.

RACQUET COURT v. HONGKONG CRICKET CLUB.

The above match was commenced shortly aftero o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The club went to the wickets first and were despatched for a score of 111, 40 of which were contributed by Mr. F. H. O. Wilson, who hit in a very deter mined manner. His score included a five and 6 threes. Mr. A. K. Travers carried out his bat for a well played 29, obtained by free and hard hitting, Mr. G. Coxon, the only other "clubist " who got into double figures, hadanade 14 when a scorcher" from Darby demolished his sticks. The fielding of the racqueters was not altogether faultless. Darby was most destructive with the ball, securing, 6 wickets at a cost of 49 runs.

Shepherd and 'Darby each bowled a wide. For the Racquet Cour, Hare made 26 in good style, including a fine hit for 5, off Wilson, before he was caught by Travers at point. Willum made 17, Shepherd 16 and Leigh 10. When time was called the "Court" were 14 runs short of the Club's total, with three wickets to fall. It looked olds on the "racqueters" but you can't always sometimes tell; however, it was a pity that this interesting match was not played out for the satis "faction ofall concemed.

AMOY.

An exciting chase after five thieves on Ku- langseu took place on Sunday night, the 22nd inst. The alarm was first raised at the house of Mr. Michelsen, in the Valley, where the thieves had apparently attempted a robbery. The black watchman and some Chinese gave chase up the hill past Wirreanda Lodge. By this time the noise had attracted others to the scene and a general rush occurred up the hill towards the Consulate. Here, however, the thieves swerved into the Rev. Mr. Rapalje's garden. One man was seen to escape through the Hillside com- pound. A move was then made to the Consulate, but a diligent search through the garden revealed nothing, and so the thieves made good their

escape.

The house belonging to Mr. Pasedag was tob- bed on the night of the 23rd, but we believe the thieves did not succeed in securing much plunder. Sport dees not seem to be confined to the Googe ground. An extraordinary animal is said to frequent the ravine between H.B.M. Consulate and Marine House. One of the community kept

a close watch from 9 p.m. one evening till an early hour next morning, with a gun, but the beast, like the thieves, evaded the eye of the. sportsman.

Our sporting friends will be glad to hear that the shooting season has been favourably inaugu. rated by the young Shikarru and his party, who have brought down some hundred head of wild- fowl, Ducks, Teal, Plover, and Curlew abound up river, and a very mixed bag is the result of the opening trip to Goose Island. The feature of the trip appears to have been a brilliant night and left at duck by the Y, S.-Gazelle.

After a couple of breaks-away, owing to Rouco being fractious, the lot got off on capital terms, Dutch Oven showing the way from Actress and Fenclon, they being followed by Sacite, Sweet bread, and Marden, while Romeo and the Hygeia colt brought up the rear. When, however, less than a furlong had been covered Dutch Oven was steadied, and Actress soon took a clear lead, Batial singling himself out in pursuit, the pair soon being clear of Fénelon, while next in a cluster came Marden, Sache, and Dutch Oven, with Geheimniss at their heels. As they went up the hill the pace was very fast, Actress going on two lengths ahead of Baliol, who in turn was clear of Fénelon, and Gebein niss now had run into fourth place, Marden, Sweetbread, Laureate, and Shotover comprising thenext lot. When in full view again Actress and Baliol were still showing the way, with some three or four lengths lead of Fénelon, Geheimniss being at the quarters of the last-nanied, with Quicklime and Sachem now in advance of Shotover, Sweetbread, Marden, and Laurente, Dutch Oven lying handy with this lot. The four leaders-viz., Actress, Baliol, Fénelon and Geheimniss-look dieser order as they inade the sweep past the site of the old Red House. Rather less than half a mile from home Actress and Balio were done with, and Geheimniss, racing past Fénelon, took up fie running, she being at the distance attended by Sweetbread, Fénelon, Laureate, and Shotover. Here Dutch Oven joined them, Geheimniss going on with a clear lend to the Stand, where all her followers were dead beaten except Shotover and Dutch Oven, the latter of whom, passing the Duke of Westminster's filly, got on terms with Geheimniss. about 100 yards from home, had her soon in trouble, and, going on, wan easily by a length and a half; four lengths off Shotover was third, just clear of Sweetbread, fourth, Sache fifth, Quicklime sixth, Marden seventh, Battlefield eighth, Laureate next, with Actress last.

ATTACKED BY MOSQUITOES.

The average Jersey mosquito, is acknowledged by all with whom he has come in contact to be an exceedingly bloodthirsty wretch; but of all the stories related concoming his vicious ways in all probability none can equal the tale told by Captain J. W. Anderson of the British bark Emmanuel Swedenborg. When questioned the Captain said: "I was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when fifteen miles off Cape May, that we saw toward the north a great cloud of insects bearing directly down on us. Three minutes. after we sighted the moving mass our ship was encircled by hordes of mosquitoes: They must have been wearied by their long flight from land, for they immediately took up positions on, the deck, on the sails and among the rigging At this juncture we picked up a pilot, whom we cagerly besought to explain where the visitors came from, but he was too dumb-founded to make any reply. After they begar their feast on the exposed parts of us helpless souls it was terrible. Some of the men cried out in agony at the way they were bitten. Go where they would it was all the same. Down in the cabin many fed for relief, but it was of no avail, for it seemed as 'though there were as many below decke as there were above. I noticed that all that attacked me weTO thin and mean-looking Some had bills a half an inch in length, which they inserted in one's face and arms with marked viciousness. It took. but a second or two for them to eat enough to fatten them beyond all belief. It took all our time to kill the critters as they alighted on us. At the end of the first half hour they began piercing our clothes. When I found that the devilish fellows were crawling up my legs 1 hastily went to the cabin and put on a pair of big boots and climbed into a heavy winter overcoat. When I sallied out on the deck ugain I thought. I was proof against the bites of the mosquitoes. Not so, however. They managed to bother me almost as much as before. By this time many of the crew hud swathed their faces and necks with shirts, leaving only space enough to see.
