Fortunately for himself and his side, the Club was not in a catch-holding mood. At 229 for 9 Vickets the innings was declared closed, Smith and Higgon being the least unsuccessful bowlers. About 3.15 the Club began to bat. One for 9 and two for 15 looked ominous, but three for 89 looked more hopeful: this batter aspect was put on affairs by Maitland and Dyson. Joss and muscle enabled the former to compile very useful 50. Twenty runs later Dyson was well bowled for a "highly commended" 38. This player is showing his true form this season in playing not a few sterling innings. When Dyson left, Vallombrosan leaves were rivalled in their fall by the rapidity with which the re- maining 6 wickets tambled for 34 runs. Frank- lin was the agent, being ably assisted by the pitch and the light. In the result the Club were beaten by 82 runs. A “conqueror "' must be arranged before the season is much older. Elliot and Franklin both had excellent analyses, and the R. N. fielding, though not so good as we have sometimes seen it, was ahead o. that of the Club, the Burfleur trio appearing to be the pick of the field. Yesterday and to-day the E.W.F. are playing the full strength of the Club, and revive a happy tradition of local cricket. By the courtesy of Rear-Admiral Bruce and the Captains and Officers, a combin- ed band, composed of men from H.M.S. Bar- Aeur, Undaunted and Orlando attended and played a pleasing selection. The Barfleurs were also good enough to provide afternoon tea on the ground.

It is stated that H.M. cruiser Cressy (which, it will be remembered, has been mentioned as likely to come out to the China Station), although she has experienced o one or two slight mishaps, has satisfied the Admiralty officials daring her trials off Plymouth.. Her contrac- tors trials are now practically completed. In an eight hours' full-power trial on the 8th ult. a mean speed of 22 knots was recorded, and dur- ing one portion of the
registered nearly 26 knots. The Cressy was to remain at Ply- mouth for two experimental trials. One was to ban full-power trial of four hours' duration, and the other was to consist of six runs over a long ses course off the Cornish coast at a speed of 18 knots. On her way up Channel the Cressy was, to carry out the trials of her auxiliary ma- okinery

The club started the play, and half a minute later, Noble, receiving a pass from Clapham, opened the scoring. Centred, the ball again became club property, Lowe footing it and passing judiciously to Lee. sued, and the Terribles conceded a corner on
A tussle en the right wing, which was unproductive. A dangerous shot Hardy, and Clemens took up the play for was well stopped by his side. Well supported by the other for wards, he carried the game into club ter- ritory. Holden got the pass and shot, but the ball was not followed up and was allowed by Wood to roll past. A corner on the Terrible's left wing was sent over the bar. From the goal kick Clemens and Danzie got possession, but a good sprint by the former was stopped by Porter. Lowe took up the play, and shot. The ball, cleverly returned by Watson, was sent back a few seconds later by Noble, and once more fisted out. Relieving a rather dangerous pressure, Jones and Butler transferred the leather to the other end of the field. The former passed to Holden, who sent in a long shot from well out that Wood, probably under the impression it was going past, allowed to drop into the net. This equalised matters. Some hard play followed, and the Terrible's half- backs blocked numerous rushes by the club for- wards. Defeating the defence, Lee sent in a ball that, had it been sent just ever so slightly to the left, would have gone home, As it was, the ball struck the post and bounded back. Following on even play in centre, the Terrible's left wing carried the leather inside the club's defence line. A shy against the ground eleven resulted, and from this slight advantage Jones recorded a second goal for the bluejackets, Just as the half-time whistle sounded, the Terrible's forwards were ́successful, from some forced play, in again defeating Wood, and netted the ball for the third time.

Half-time-Terrible, 3; Club, 1. The resumption of the game saw play for a period confined to mid-field, but a break-¦ away by the club forwards resulted in their topping the net. Bartlett and England showed up well in this half, and fed their forwards splendidly. Butler, receiving a pass from centre, proved himself a tricky player on the ball, and got the better of Lee, who tried to
