ERRONEOUS REPORT

MR. E. F. FINCHER'S -WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT In the first edition of yea- terday's Telegraph, it was slated that a marriage would take place in the New Year between Mr. E. F. Fincher and Mine Irene Gittins.

FIXTURES FOR WEEK-END

Owing to the inclemency of the weather only one Senior Division game was played-the friendly between the Kowloon Cricket Club and the Indians, I saw the end of the game and the wicket seemed to be not too difficult-the rain, I thought, had just made it an easy pace. However, the batting of both sides was disappointing. A. R. Ábbas seems to be one of the few Indian batsmen who are usually successful. The highest score of the day was made by 5. A. Ismail, but I am told it was not an inspiring innings, and consisted largely of singles. Kowloon collapsed again, and Ernie Fincher alono got a respectable score. They were not, of course, at full | awful the way in which work will strength.
