CRICKET.
ÖVER 25 2. UNDER 25.
This match was played on the Cricket Ground yesterday and resulted in a decisive victory fur the "old 'uns" by ten wickets. Assuming the defensive the "Over 25" made a bad com mencement and looked like falling short of the century until Sercombe-Smith and Barff got together, the former compiling 46 in his usual slashing style, whilst "Charlie" contributed a very useful 20. Scanlan with 15 was the only other "double figurer," and the innings closed for 124, of which 13 were extras. E. O. Smith was, the most successful trundler for the rising cricketers, taking 4 wickets at a cost of 36 runs; F. Maitland was credited with 2 for 8, and Darby, Blair and Johnstone had one each for 16, 24 and 25 respectively.
Higginbotham ond Blair, started for the Under 25" Dr. Lowson a very promising griffin from Edinburgh University-and. Coxon leading off the attack. Blair quickly suc- cumbed to the deadly left-hander, and F. Maitland, who took the vacant wicket, was at once stumped by Churchill off the same bowler. After scoring 14 Higginbotham was caught by Coxon off Lowson and with the exception of Crichton, whose sa was top score, nobody else did Anything, the score-sheet showing ng fewer than air ducks." The tenth wicket fell for 57, or a minority of 67, necessitating a follow on. The second innings of the youthful cricketers was a. repetition of their first. Crichton's zo and Higginbotham's 15 were the only double figures, all were out for a paltry 79. Coxon had 5 wickets for 73 runs, Lowson 3 for 10, and Barff 2 for 16,
Coxon and Churchill knocked off the requisite "13" rune, the "over 25 " thus winning the match by to wickets.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.),,
Chemilpn, zoth Dec, 1888. There is a rumnar in Sout that Port Hamilton had been re-occupied by the British. This, however, I consider utterly unlikely on account that the British actually had taken it without much ado about it, during the Russian, wAT scare; they built a lonk-out tower, a breakwater, barracks for a company of marine Infantry, telegraph.office, and laid down a sub-marine cable between Fort Hamilton and the North Saddle Island, off Shanghai.
Not long since everything connected with Port Hamilton belonging to the British Government was brought under the auctioneer's hammer,, and I think it very unlikely that they should intend to take the place back again. But that much is certain that the Korean steamer Hairiong is laying under steam while I am writing, with orders to proceed to Port Hamilton, What about it? Surely that unfortunate old rattle-trap, fntended to represent the Korean navy, can hardly be relied upon to save the
