I do not propose to deal in this article with the small amount of cricket which took place last week. Such reference as I shall make will appear in my notes on Friday next, To-day I propose to give some figures and facts about Army cricket, and to indulge some reflections of cricket generally in the Army here. It is the easier for me to do so in that I have had very full figures from Corp. W. H, Colledge to whom I am much obliged.

If the teams line up next Sunday in the final match for the Governor's Cup as at pre- sent advertised, there will be:

Kong gave a peculiar display. His stylish strokes off the ground imme diately impressed one that he was player who had learnt his game, but once the rallies had become extended he mistimed his shots like a novice.
