The Hongkong men accorded the toast musical honour. !.

Mr. L. Walker in response thanked the Hongkong team for the kind way in which they bad drunk the health of the Shanghai Xhen? There was no doubt that it was a very awkward time for Hongkong to come up to, Shanghai; it was the beginning of their season and they had had to start practice at least a month before the season opened, and this year they had had very bad weather. With the typhopa coming on they had had very little practice. No ope regretted more than Shanghai the loss. which Hongkong- had sustained through the illness of Mr. Pearce, (applause) and they were

very well, it was very much owing to the bowling of Mr. Lanning that they achieved victory, but at the same time he must also congratulate Mr. Bird on his very fina bowling - for Hongkong, especially as he called himself a batsman; ho took nine wickets in the two Innings. He hoped a'return match would be played in the near future and hoped averyone. here would be very keen to go down to Hong kon, to play. In conclusion Mr. Walker referred to the way Mr. Hancock accepted · Shanghai's challenge; ho said “We will ac- cept the challenge and get together the team afterwards" (applause).

same centuries ago, says the Pall Mall Gas- ette, a remarkable discrepancy will be noticed The tidal wave from the Atlantic, which divides on the Cornish coast, has much to answer for, One part passes around the north of Scotland into the German Oceau, and thence in a south- erly direction, to be met by the other part sweeping up the-English Channel. Backward pass the detritus lades waters, grinding away at the cliffs of Albion and giving the sea cach- year a firmer grip upon the land. In the course of centuries acres and acres have disappeared; populous towns have vanished beneath the waves, and only a name and a memory remain where once a thriving multitude held sway,

Yorkshire alone has record of no fewer than twelve drowned towns and villages. There was Ravenapur, for instance, which was constituted a free borough by Edward I., at a cost of 1,300, and become a seaport of almost pational im- portance. There it was that Edward Balliol embarked with a force 3,500 strong in order to win the crown of Scotland. The town, bigger and more important than Hull, had five chur ches, a capacious harbour and a number of build. ings befitting its rank and importance. Where are they now?

Travelling southward, one comes to Norfolk Suffolk and Essex, three counties which tó par- ticular have suffered from the onslaught of the waves. When Cromer was an inland village, Shipden was a royal demesoe; to-day Shipdeo". has been drowned and Ctomer is a seaside

town, though how long it will remain so depends on its protective measures against he sea. It has already spent: 36,000 on sea defences. 'Or Lowestoft During the twenty years ending 1994 the sea denuded the beach of more than 200,000 tons of shingle, representing on the north side of the town alone. nearly 300,000 square yards of material. Not less than £57,000 has been spent on protective measures, and ou the south sidă of the town the fɔw water mark' has been driven back nearly seventy feet. But that much more remains to be dope is evident from the fact that fourteen feet of cliff-at-Pake- figld, near Lowestoft, recently disappeared, leaving the Cliff Hotel in such a perilous, position that it is no longer.habitable.

Dunwich, perhaps, is the most notable eX- ample of this terrible devastation. 7 village of a hundred odd inhabitants and the ruins of a large church on the edge of a crumbling clif are all that remain of the anciçul capital of East Anglia, which, according to Stow, had Ja King's court and Bishop's palace, and Mayor's mansion, and fifty-two churches, and. the same number of windmills, together with a spacious and well frequented harbour, in which were as many top ships as churches." No FXPRESSES. fewer than 400 houses were swept away in a single year in the reign of Edward II.; between 1535 and 1600 four churches disappeared; by. 1677 the sea had "merrily slopped over the

What do these losses mean? They mean that every year we lose a tract of land the sies of Gibraltar; while on the east coast alone territory: as large as Heligoland disappears.
