day last, a very unpleasant day, and not a wildly exciting game, though the result was of great im- portance to Recreio, as it now puts them very nearly on terms with K.C.C. 2nd Eleven who have to win their next match outright to get ahead of them.

The Recreio 2nd XI, who have shown considerable strength in balting, were taking no chances about going on too long, and a stand between A. G: Noronha (69 not out) and P. M. N. Silva (41 not out) enabled them to declare at 140 for 2 wickets.

The innings showed scoring of 5 runs per over which, ronadering the heaviness of the soul- fel, was not so bad.
