--November 9th, 1885.

Wet, thick and dirty, miscrabic weather has prevailed all this month, which does not promise overlooked one important point which, I can. But it's an ill wind that blaws nachbody guid," verlookedir Play" in your issue of yesterday, well for our Karen on the 12th and 14th-instant, ceive, tells strongly against the members of "A" and a wet, heavy course will probably bring battery having been allowed to vote at the re-hitherto despised ponies to the front, cent election of officers for "B" battery. Both equality as regards rights and privileges, but batteries, presume, are supposed to be on an this equality has been entirely destroyed by the exceptional privilege accorded to "A" battery, by its members having had two chances of clec- tion to the commissioned ranks, while the ment alone is, in my opinion, sufficient, in equity, to bers of "B" battery have had only one. This damn the whole proceedings. Equality can, therefore, be only restored by a complete onnul- ment of the late elections, or by cancelling all bers of "A" battery and having a new general the commissions previously granted to the mem election for officers by both batteries, As, how- ever, this latter course would present grave diffi- culties, there is nothing for it now, I consider, but to annul the recent election and have a new should be allowed to vote. one at which only the members of "B" battery.

On enquiry I find that the soldiers, numbering 80, are the body-guard police, who was lately in charge at Yoh-chow: of General Le Lun-shen, of the Yangtose river foo. The soldiers are fine robust men, but I cannot speak favourably of the arms-old rusty "Tower muskets," which look neither ornamen- tal nor useful.

IRELAND V. THE WORLD. What was expected to prove an interesting match between tearns representing Ireland and "The World" respectively, was commenced on the Cricket Ground yesterday afternoon, in fine cricketing weather and on a first rate wicket. Hynes, who captained the representatives of the Emerald Isle, won the toss for choice of innings, and very discreetly elected to assume the defen sive. It was a regular batsmens' day, and "the World" having a most feeble contingent of bowling talent, besides failing to shine cor- spicuously in the field, were treated to an afternoon's outing which must have taxed their palience and endurance considerably. As the ground is at present arranged, with a fence running, rodnd the entire circle, fielding, as generally understood at home, is only to a very slight extent exhibited in a Hongkong cricket match. All hits, big or little, unless driven straight to the fielders' hands, become boundary hits; the fielder has no running to do, and the, batsmen, the merest trifle, of pedestrian work, This systent-may-be-very-convenient-for-our-Fair Play" is quite right as to the dissatis-, local cricketers, but it is really like playing. faction existing, especially amongst the Portu cricket in a racquet court-and it is not legitimate che members of "B" battery, who, however, cricket.
