Wc. do not think that this tariff requires much comment, for all acquainted with North Borneo will see that it is likely to have a most deplorable effect upon trade. Take for instance camphor.

THE CRICKET WEEK,

SHANGHAI versus STRAITS.

FIRST. DAY'S PLAY,'

The fourth day of the cricket carnival set in. with fine sunshiny weather and promised well for the first side batting. A pitch was struck about two yards to the Queen's Road' side of the previous one and was in excellent con- dition. Shanghai won the toss and elected to. bat, sending in Lanping and McEwen to face the bowling of Mackenize and Sharpe. "Mr. K. F. Lammert and Bir. W. F. Ingles were officiating as umpires, while Messrs. Kerr and Lewis acted as scorers. The Straits team elected to play Dr. Dane in place of Kem. R... Farbridge captained. Shanghai, with Wright in the position for the Straits. MacKenzie started with the ball from the lower end, McEwen taking bis first and driving his third to leg for two. Sharpe com- menced bowling at the City end and Lanning. placed him to leg for two. He was right on the wicket and Voules behind, standing close up, took everything that came his way.

Lanning got Mac Kenzie away to leg with a fine cut for thres, putting to up on the tele- graph, the only scure in the over. Both bats- mea were playing steadily and the fielding. generally was good, but Mackenzie did not seem in his best form and presently was taken off, and Whitley took the ball. Sharpe in his next over, took McEwan's wicket with a straight "yorker" of which the batsman had only the very slightest conception. Score 27-1-8. Thirty minutes had passed and three bowlers tried, Sharpe was doing well, but neither Mackenzio nor Whitley were up to their Monday's form.

Rose followed in and cut Whitley hard to point (Barkshire), who saved. He got the next past him for four, sending 30 up. Lanning drove Sharpe almost to the boundary, but only a three resulted. Rose was not at ease to Sharpe, who was bowling trac. Whitley was improving as he went along, and slow cricket was witnessed. Rose cut Sharpe for one, and Lanning drove to the on for two. Green, at third man, was doing good work and getting plenty of it. He was taking the hardest cuts with ease and returning smartly, saving many a rum. Whitley's second ball in the next over faitly beat Rose, but passed over the wicket into the hands of Voules. Rose cut to the slips and runs were saved by Maclaggart wh, however, badly missed a palpable catch from Rose's next cut. The wicket was playing as true as a die and Shanghai were not shaping up to their reput- alian. They were playing in crabbed style
