ON sun-baked wickets, bowlers slaved away

for hours, metaphorically breaking their Barnett ((iloucester) hearts, and watching their averages ruined by batsmen, who had found a paradise, when, in the course of nine first class matches in England, no less than 8,815 runs were scored, an average of 979 runs a match.

Nineteen batsmen scored centuries and three others missed them by the barest margin. Only three bowlers met with any pronounced success.

P. G. H. Fender won the match for Surrey against Notts by taking 10 for 175, and Verity laid the foundation of Yorkshire's astonishing victory against Lancashire, by capturing 5 for 25 in the Lancastrians' first innings.

Arrangements for the track and fell, as well as the tennis events at the Kowloon Cricket Club are now complete.
