KOWLOON V. ALL COMERS.
Kowloon made its debut in cricket in this match, but being out of practice, had to admit defeat. On a wicket that wore better than expected, Langhorne took in Ward to open the batting against Kowloon, and the two ran 153 up before Ward was well taken at squareleg from a stroke that should have given him his century. At first Langhorne got ahead, but Ward gained on, him rapidly later on and raised his score from 60 to 98 by ten strokes in which were six fours and two sixes. He played a dashing innings, giving only half a chance to wide mid- on who would have enhanced his reputation by making the catch. He wishes to be told next time he is near a century in order that he may not again miss it by two for want of a hint. In the hour and a half before tiffin, as many as 170 runs were scored. Too much credit was given to the diminutive ground, we think, for at no other period was anything like this rate of run-getting attained. After tiffin Langhorne continued to play a steady but punishing game and had the satisfaction of seeing 200 up before he left. Mackenzie, who should have been tried much earlier, bowled with much success after the interval and ended up with the excellent analysis of 6 wickets for
36 runs.
xjWoodcock, Saltor and Wood (who |
hit a six) were the only others who reached double figures. Burke, Hanson, and Krickenbeek were noticeable in the field and Wall was at home behind the wickets. When Nicholson went on a second time, he took 3 wickets for 31 runs we expect to see him have a larger share of the wickets later on in the season When Kowloon batted, Mackenzie. Ainslie, Nicholson, Tregear and Lamb ran into double figures. On Saturday's form Mackenzie seems to have advanced in batting and bowling and fielding. Ainslie, who bats in good style, was just becoming at home to the bowling when a smart catch at the wickets got rid him. He will considerably strengthen the military ranks. Tregear payed a very useful innings, and, with Lamb, made the biggest stand In bowling, Strong, who in good form, with 3 for 7, and Langhorne, with 2 for 11, were the most success- ful. The ground fielding was fairly good, but more than one catch did not come off. Just a word about the s season. It was started well and there is no reason why it should not go on just as well. The Indian contingent has introduced plenty of new blood and possesses several keen players and it is keenness which is the great desideratum.
m.^ From what we have seen, we think that the civilians will have to fight hard to be in the running with the Garrison and the United Services, but if all the old hands will renew their youth, and the young bloods will keep their eyes and hands in, there is no what may happen. So let us have enthusiasm, please. Appended are the scores and analysis:—

CONSULAR REPORTS.
NEWCHWANG:
The year 1899 was an extremely prosperous one for the trade of Newchwang, says Mr. Consul Fulford, not only were the figures the highest on record, but they showed an advance of above 50 per cent. on those of 1898, which wore greatly in excess of previous years. The net value of the trade of the past year was £7,253,643, as compared with £4,634,474 in 1898, and £3.926,344 in 1897. These figures do not include the import and export of treasure, which in 1889 amounted to £1,452,662 and £700,510 respectively. This result is all the more satis- factory as there were during the year several in cidents which must have had an adverse influence upon trade. Among these may be mentioned a dispute between the southern and northern merchants as to the terms of trade payments, strikes among cargo boats and bean mill coolies, and the outbreak of plague. The increase may be attributed principally to an excellent bean crop in 1898, and to high prices for this con modity ruling in Japan, to which country a Referring to impending changes in the large proportion of the export goes. But the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Staff at Colom general prosperity of the district no doubt con- bo, the Ceylon Observer says: "On Mr. Wil-tributed to the rise, the excess of im son's arrival here, Mr. J. D. Taylor will leave goods and treasure over exports being ver for the Far East. . Mr. Taylor's depar- marked. Railway construction and the conse- ture will be regretted by those who have had quent influx of coolies and capital have experience of his management of the local added to the consuming powers of the neig branch." It has been decided, we hear locally, bourhood. that Mr. Taylor will revert to his former appointment as accountant of the Singapore Branch of the Bank.
