The second question, though not so simple, presents no serious difficulty. A refusal on the part of the Chinese Minister to release his pri- soner would have been sufficient ground for requesting him to leave the country.

HONGKONG ROVERS V. ROYAL ENGINEERS.
This match was played at Happy Valley on Saturday, the Rovers golog in first. They did not appear to appreciate the bowling of Wilde and Bowery, however, and their wickels fell fast, the last man being dismissed for a total of 45. The Engineers then went to the wicket, but Kerr was too much for them, and they retired after putting up a score of 67. The Engineers had, however, big hearts and generously put the Ravers in again, and, before time was up. they managed to put up 36 more runs for three wickets, thus gaining a victory owing to the confidence of their opponents in their superior play. Unless the tims left is exceedingly short, a lead of twenty-two is much too small to allow of the other side being put in agalo, especially when the elevens are moderately well matched, is in this lastacce.
