He will be much missed, as he has played in the last half dozen interport matches that have been held. In Captain Smith, R.A., they have a very safe man behind the wickets, and the whole team has every confidence in him. Har cock (captain) is a good all-round cricketer, excolls in batting and bowling, and, on - occasions, a very successful bowler. Of the last three interport matches he has captained, two against Shanghai, and was successful in both. Six of the present team are old hands, having played in interpont matches before. On the whole the team is considered one of the best put together, batting and fielding being their strongest points. The bowling is supposed to be a bit weak, but with one exception all are quite capable of taking wickets, and in the event of Captain Smith being called upon to leave the sticks and take a tura at bowling, Lieut. Lacy should make a very capable substitute, being a good wicket-keeper. It has been very unfortunate and disappointing that the weather has pre sented the teams having as much practice as they would have liked; for, as it is, they have only been able to have two practice matches before sailing for Shanghai to take the field. But they all seem fit and in good fettle, and should give an excellent account of themselves, and it will be a great dis.. appointment if they do not bring back the flag when they return, some ten days hence, We wish them every possible success and good luck.
