IN Elizabeth, New Jersey, there is a mysterious man known as "Jack the Peeper" who is thought to be a sort of monomaniae on the sub- ject of gazing at women's charms.

In nearly every instance the inmates have been awakened by his entrance, but he always managed to escape, and has eluded the vigilance of the whole police force.

THE "STAY AT HOMES "». SHANGHAI TEAM,

The first match of the senson was played on Saturday, between the team selected to do battle for Hongkong against the Shanghai Cricket Clubs, and an eleven picked from the remainder.burg It was intended to have two days' play, but the heavy rainon Friday necessitated a postponement. and the result had to depend on a one innings game. Although not representing the full strength of the Club, the eleven that will meet the Shaughal players are, taken kil a fairly powerful combination, and notwithstand Ing being out of practice they ought to render a good account of themselves. On Saturday they made an excellent show, their fielding being quite up to the usual standard, the bowling of Sercombe-Smith and E. J. Coxon well on the spot, and although the tundling on 'the other side was doubtless a bit shn't of A, Coxon, F. Maitland, and Smith batted in capital form.

The "Stay at Homes" took first innings, and considering that the wicket played a bit "dead" and was all in favor of the bowlers, they did | uncommonly well in totalling 115. Davidson, of the A. & S. Highlanders, played a capital innings of 31, and it is a pity such a promising dat cannot make the trip to Shanghai. S. L. Darby quickly rattled up 24 before succumbing to a combination of Davies and Maitland, and the only other double-figurer was L. Barff, who carried out his bat for 24-one 4, three 3's, one 2. tc.
