In one case which occurred in Hongkong the teacher kept up appearances by studying one lessons in advance of his pupils. Of course, the students could gain no advantage from the experience of such a teacher; it was simply the old case of the blind leading the blind. But pupils attending Queen's College are assured of capable masters, filted in every respect to illumine the mental darkness of youth. It is to be hoped therefore that parents and

The weather to-day is fortunately excellent and the ground for the in- terport cricket match is in good con- dition.
The match commences at 11 am. and there are already signs that there will be a large attendance.

Hongkong won the toss and elect- ed to send Shanghai to the stumps.
The wicket is sticky, but it is gradually improving in the fine weather which is being experienced.
Weippert made a splendid stand against the longkong bowlers and along with Martin, punished Mr. H.
E. Stanger Leathes most effectively.
As a result the bowling proved very expensive when the eighth and ninth wickets came on.
Mr. T. E. Pearce being unwell has been replaced by Mr. II. R. Phelips.
The score up to the time of the ad journment for tiffin was 112 for eight
wickets.

Hongkong's prospects are rosy and a win for the southern Colony would be very popular. In fact, it is con- fidently believed that Hongkong is bound to achieve a victory.
