CRICKET.
HONGKONG CRICKET CLUB V. NAVY. The spin of the coin, some indifferent, if not bad, fielding on the part of the Navy, and fairly good batting and bowling on the part of the landsmen, combined to give the Club à substantial victory by four wickets and 94 runs. Beginning to bat with Dyson and the Hon. Secretary, the former, at two, lost his wicket in a manner which is still an enigma to him. Lammert joined Smith and helped to raise the `score to 80 before retiring for a creditable 32. The Secretary and Treasurer then got together and added another 47 runs when Smith, who had been batting an hour and a half and had been kept away from tiffin for 10 minutes by the slowness of the Pavilion clock, Had to go, being well caught in the slips for a lucky 68. After tiffin Vallings joined Maitland and showed that with the return of the Ceylon he had come back to form, a result which had been foretold. He smote hard and quite over- shadowed Maitland, whose departure for a well got 35
Vallings only urged greater feats which culminated in two sixes off Shelford; no chance occurred in his well bit 65. Hartland, a visitor, aided Vallings in putting on the last 50 runs and was not out when the innings was declared closed at 2:8 Wall of H.MS. Powerful for 6 wickets.

had four wickets for 79, a good debut, thonghi be probably wants a faster pitch than Saturday's was on which to do himself justice. Just after 3 pm, the Navy went in to bat, but with nothing except a draw to play for. Judging however, from some of the performances, not every member of the eleven realised what were the proper tactics. Four wickets having succumbed for 36 runs, Dewar and Hastings, by lusty hitting, carried the score to 8, at which the former, having just knocked a pair of sixes off Vallings, was bowled by a ball with a lot of work on it for a dashing innings of 34. He was shortly followed by Hastings who showed his old form and played the best and biggest innings of bis side. Anderson effected his dismissal by a good catch at third man. Subsequently, Egerton, Dalrymple, and Shelford, all playing carefully, might have effected a draw had not the last named been unnecessarily called for a short ran. Vallings was the most successful bowler, but followed closely by Smith, and Lammert; it was rottenness in the state of Denmark rather than the absolute superiority of the Club that made the victory so pronounced.
By kind permission of Captain The Honour- able Hedworth Lambton, R.N., and Officers, the Band of H.M.S. Powerful played a pleasing selection of music during the afternoon.
Appended are the score and analysis:-

QUARTERLY MEETING,
****

A very fair number of members assembled on the links to compete for the various events. The weather was all that could be desired, but the greens, which were very keen, rather puzzled the majority of players and the returns as a rule are not quite so good as those recorded
earlier in the month.
The Club has been strengthened by the arrival of H.M.S. Powerful, amongst whose officers is at least one who has covered the links. in scratch form, thongh in his round for the cups it would appear that he had, like many of class," discovered that the race is not his always to the swift, and that our links.are not acquaintance BO easy to negociate as they on first would seem to be.

The wind was about east south east of good whole sail strength and steady all through, except a small patch of calm off Blackhead's Point. All the second class boats except Aileen bad new sails and they showed very much improved form until the Aileen carried away her bobstay and the Dart her peak halyard.
In the first class Erica went away with the lead and kept it all day. It was a run down to the fairway buoy and a reach to Cosmopolitan Dock buoy, when the times were:--
