It is also made use of in speaking of the scores made at our popular game of cricket. A man makes his "Century" in the cricket field. It means that he has made one hundred complete runs for his aide. He makes two centuries three, four, five, six centuries during the season. That means that he has recorded to his credit, two thiree, four, five, or six complete groups of one hundreds runs. A Century, when dealing with time is a complete period of one hundred years, complete to the last day and hour and minute of the last month of the year.. A hundred dollars is incomplete until the last cent of the last, or hundredth dollar is counted down. It is not a hundred dollars till that is done.

New Year's day among the inhabitants of the Land o'Cakes is theore on which they give their Ospitable instincts, with which they are amply endowed, full play, und like to gather around themselves their friends to see the New Year make its entry on this earth. The Staff of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company have now for many years kept up this national custom, this year, however, the old year made its exit on Sunday, so the gathering had to take place on a Saturday. The Committee being given the Joiner's shop and it adjacent building the Boat- builders' shed, made the one into a beautifully appointed bail-room while the latter, having matting put around the sides made a most com- fortable supper room, the whole refecting the greatest credit on the Committee who were responsible for the decorations and general arrangements.

The game, during the first half, was fast, the leather travelling backwards and forwards, between the two goals, the Service men ba ing slightly the advantage and when the first goal was scored by 'them, a perfect yell of exultation went up from their comrades round the ropes. This advantage was soon equalised, as the Civilians rushed the hall down the field and through the posts. Up to half time, 35 minutes being played instead of the usual half hour, the Score was one goal all.
After the restart the game rather flagged, the Civilians showing to greater advantage, some of the passing among them being of great merit; the Service on the other band seemed to have lost their dash, lost many chances by the cliquey business mentioned above, and allowed Ross to get in quite a simple goal, No further scoring was made to the time the whistle sounded, leaving the score
