ILLINGWORTH YACHTING RACE WON BY

Commendable Keenness

AZUMA

DURING

Shown by Junior Club THE WEEK-END

De Recreio Cricketers Moonlight_Of

A resolute innings by G. Gosano, and a somewhat speculative, though enterprising knock by R. Soares, who between them added 67 for the seventh wicket, not only pulled Club de Recreio juniors out of queer street in their friendly cricket match against the K.C.C., at Cox's Road on Saturday, but with J. Gosano, another school boy member of the huge family of cricketers, bowling effectively late in the game, the visitors all but pulled off victory, the K.C.C. having the worst of a draw, with scores of 169 for 7 declared against 107

for 8.
