The Straits had fully demonstrated to the Hongkong public that they towered head and shoulders above the local or the Shanghai team and when the pre- sent fixture was mooted the general opinion was that the combined elevens would have to fight very hard in order to break down the prowess of the gallant southerners. The combined team was captained by Wood and consisted of three Shanghai men and eight Hongkong men, one of whom, Ryall, had not played with the team during the week.

We do not intend to devete so much space to this match as we did to any one of the others, not because the cricket on Saturday was less interesting, but because we think ten columns of cricket description in one week must be con- sidered sufficient for the most ardent lovers of the game; a coronation ceremony would not demand more space. Saturday was a beautiful day for the hundreds of spectators who lined the ground and the scene was made brighter and inore attractive by the presence of a large number of ladies; but the players had a very hot time in the field, the sun being intensely powerful, and as a consequence Tytam reservoir was drawn upon pretty extensively during the day. The cricket was most enjoyable, and a fine batting display was given by McKenzie. He went in second wicket down and made 163, his partnership with Woodroffe putting on 178 runs, and all through his innings he showed beautiful style, hitting hard and clean all round the wicket; but it should be mentioned that he was badly missed three or four times, partien- larly by the wicket keeper, who was certainly not in good form on Saturday. Woodroffe, by always playing a most patient game, gave ad- mirable support to McKenzie and both players were rewarded with loud applause on the com- pletion of their innings. At one period of the game it certainly looked as if the Straits Settlements would have but a poor total at the finish. The second wicket fell with the score at 95, and the next five wickets produced only 69 runs, even Captain Talbot failing to score on this occasion. The innings closed just before 5 o'clock for 381, so that Shanghai and Hongkong had a heavy task before them for Monday

HONGKONG.

The Hongkong Cricket Festival ended on Monday As was generally anticipated the last Wkts. match resulted in a complete overthrow of the combined Shanghai and Hongkong team, the Straits Settlements for the third time scoring an easy single innings defeat. The wicket was some. what treacherous yesterday, but its condition cannot in itself account for the wretched batting. display given by the losers.. On their form the Straits would any day thrice dismiss the whole... lot before tea time. Only one player, Mann, Wkts.showed anything like firute cricket; the remainder were helpless against the bowling and could do next to nothing with it. There were not many spectators to see the final flicker and they witnessed merely a dismal procession to and from the wickets. The Straits were undeniably superior to the allied forces and they thrashed them mercilessly.

with deadly effect and his next nine overs pro- duced four wickets at a cost of but four runs---a performance of which he might well be proud. Whitley also bowled very well, his four wickets costing him only eighteen runs. The batting of most disap- Shanghai and Hongkong was pointing. Mann was the only batsman who showed at all well and he scored exactly half the total, but when he had made 33 he was missed by Capt. Talbot at mid off. From the specta tors' point of view the first part of the day's play was the best part.
The second innings was worse than the first. Manu made 21 and the others, including Mr. Extras, made 43 between them. We will say no more about it. The Straits Settlements won by an innings and 231 runs.
