A CLUB XII . CAPTAIN WAYMOUTH'S XVI.
Our previous report of this match took our readers up to the close of play on Friday, the 1st inst., when the XVI had scored 164 for 11 wickets, Hancock being caught at the wicket just on time for a very excellent 70, which was notable for the way in which he got over rising He is a great ac- balls and smothered them. cesion of strength, not only on account of his batting, but also by reason of his clean fielding and ability to sent down a good ball.
On resuming at 11.30 on Saturday, the 2nd inst. Hooper did not give trouble, but Ross and Clap- ham proved thorns in the side of the XII. The Argonaut man played a really good innings, and the R.A. Captain gave a dashing display after his life at the wicket: between them this pair ad- ded over 50 runs for the thirteenth wicket. Hayward went it'
whilst he was in, and Morrison found the road a useful dumping ground. The innings of Greatorex, who helped Hancock to raise the score from 29 to 105, was well-executed and steady.
Lee took 7 wickets for 81 runs and Cox 3 for 18: these are the only bowling performances which require attention. Smith had bad luck, and if the chances off his bowling had been taken, quite 100 runs would have been saved.
an
At 12.40 p.m. the Club XII started batting with Clifton-Brown and Maitland, both of whom let the bowling down easily, as they retired before Greatorex and tiffin, at 14 and 17 respectively. After tiffin, men with pads and gloves and bats and perhaps other armament, walked gallantly to the wicket where their sojourn ruled brief: there was all the panoply of war, but none of its triumphs: yet peace also hath her victories. Dyson had bagged seven singles when he was erroneous decision, we given out 1.b.w., think. How an umpire holds destinies in his hand! Whatever may be said about batting, bowling, and fielding, umpiring is certainly not the strongest point in local cricket. Dyson was going along slowly but surely, when his steadi. ness was thus surprisingly annihilated. Later on Smith played patiently, taking half an hour over 4 runs before he was stylishly caught at mid-on by Waymonth. The last wicket gave a much better account of itself and nearly doubled the score, Preedy booking a commendable 14 and Arthur a refreshing 27 not ont. The in- nings closed for a meagre 78! Why this break- down? There is only one real reason, viz., that, the bowling of Bird, Greatorex and Morrison' was too good, backed up as it was by the capital fielding of a close and distant cordon of scouts, Gunner Greatorex, who bowls slow 2 left-hand with a good length, caused most of the havoc. as 7 wickets for 34 runs testify. His batting, Lowling and fielding mark him Bird also bowled out as a very useful find. well, securing 2 wickets for 14 runs as the result of 17 overs. His fielding and bowling single him out from the ruck of local cricketers, and, if he can bat, he will be an invaluable addition to the game in Hongkong. We hope that he will be down at the reserved net several 1 days before Thursday next.

and Hancock who proved destructive, securing 5 for 18 and 4 for 12 respectively. In the match, Morrison secured 7 wickets for 40 and ran Greatorex very closely for chief bowling honours: his record for the season up to date is 24 wickets for 150 runs, or an average of 6.25 runs a wicket.
In the end the match resulted in a big victory for the XVI by an innings and 101 runs. Last week we warned our readers that the XII would not sucessarily include the XI: our warning will probably be verified when the XI is finally selected. The bad reverse of the XII clearly shows that there is more talent than was sus- pected. This is a distinctly encourging feature : last week's game was therefore a timely re- relation of fresh and good blood. To enable the Straits XI to get some practice, there will be no match to-day, the 9th inst. We think that, a marked improvement in the fielding was ob. servable last Friday and Saturday, and are glad to say that we have met others who share this opinion.
His Excellency the Governor continues to manifest great interest in the cricket, being present on both days: he is also helping liberally to make the auspicious week a thorough success.
