YESTERDAY'S PRACTICE

The announcement that no less than fourteen players { would make the trip to Shang- hai came as rather a surprise to In the actual personnel of the party there are only two names that call for comment. In the first place Elvin has not been selected.

These women know the game and they play it exceedingly well.

The match ended in a tie, but that was merely because there were two declarations.

CAPTAIN'S MISTAKE.

The Touring team won the toss, and Miss Archdale, the captain, admitted to me that she made mistake; she should have sent the other side in.

So, on a sticky wicket, her side were tumbled out for 66.
