KOWLOON v. HE.C.C.
This proved a very close game, bath sides fielding strong teams. Kowloon going in to bas first suc- ceeded in piling up 143 runs, when the innings was declared closed for 9 wickets. The redeeming feature of their batting was the 31 runs contributed by E. L Braga, Stapleton being the next best with 30. The H.K.C.C. made were slow in dropping and a total a strong effort to win.

The teams were nearly prostrated and on the verge of apoplexy. The prim old lady, who thought it was perhaps, a bit shocking to see people in their night attire, looked and Isughed and gave up the ghost The sweet young thing who had never been able to screw up more than a giggle laughed immoderately. This is not an exaggerated account of what took place at "The Coronet" last night. Every bit of it is true. If there was any criticism of the film we should give it. Mr. Ray welcomes it and the public expect it, but we have none to offer. The picture, as we bave said before, is the funniest we have seen, and we as well as Mr. Ray, would like every one in Hongkong to see it. We like people to enjoy themselves.
The programme has
other attractive features also, including some very fine educational films, the first of a series to be screened
by the Coronet. For variety and all-round excellence, the bill of fare now offering would be hard. if not impossible, to beat.
The first bowl of the match was played by Taylor, who straight- away found the jack, Gerrard being narrow with his first wood. Taylor's second ball was narrow but Gerrard found the green and lay shot just behind the jack. Shanghai failed to move this bow! and the first point in the match went to Hongkong,
