by even average fielding, the Naval score might well have been considerably smaller. As it was the fielding was execrable and the catching worse, and until the lub players reali e the importance of this branch of the game and get about remedying the defect. they must expect big scores to be piled up against them. In an almost hopeless position - there was not time to mako runs, and, on the other hand, there was plenty of time to get out -the Club started their innings. Faushawe and J. T. Dixon went in first, and, it must be said at once, they played very well. Dixon especially showing better form than he has taken to 46 previously. The scro bafore Fanshawe wis raaght for a useful 15. Woodgates hit a 6 and a 2, but then skied a ball to Bisset at mid-on which that fieldsman beld. Fawcett followed, but at once lost his partner who was smartly caught at the wicket. J. T. had played sterling cricket for 34 and ho made some particularly fine strokes between point and cover.
W. Dixou was out to a neat catch at point and Ward came in. By careful cricket the score was taken to 86 when Ward was bowled off his pads just as he appeared to be geting set. Fawoelt left at 102 Mackenzie having played sonndly, fo: h's 22, played carefully. Lammert, after a lucky snick for 4, was beautifully caught by Bisset. Bird was caught by his namesake and then it was time, the total having reached 116 for 8 wickets. Of course it was a moral" win for the Navy, nevertheless a certain amount of credit is due to the Club ba'smen for their suc cess iu slaving off defeat. The Naval fielding was good and the catching in direct con- trast to tho lub's attempts in the same department. Fitch bowled well, taking 1 wickets for 27, and was perhaps less jurions (physically) then usual. Dalrymple's analysis is worth noting; none of the batsmen seemed to be able to do anything with his bowling. By the kindness of Admiral Grenfell and Officers, a Naval baud played an excellent selection. The inclemeney of the weather doubtless prevented a large attendance of spectators, though a few ladies were plucky enough to brave the elements. The following are the full scores and analyses :-

We understand that the Benlarig, one of the Lith fleet of steamers trading out here as the Ben Line, has been sold to a Chinese firm in Singapore. The Benlarig is one of the oldest of the company's vessels, and at one time it seemed probable that she would be purchased by a Hongkong firm for coasting purposes.
Shanghai, at the present time, says the N.-C. Daily News, seems to be the resort of clever criminals and beachcombers, and it is difficult to drawn the line between the two classes. The annual average of convictions of foreigners for misdemeanours and felonies during the past three years almost equals that of the cercuties, when Shanghai had not, by any means, attained its present state of civilisation.

Referee Mr. F. Browne.
The game all through was well contested. In the first ha f the V. R. C. had rather the best of the forward play and when the whistle blow at half-time they were leading by 1-0. In the second half the Club showed up very well and notched two points as against their opponents' one, the gawe thus resulting in a draw--2 goals each. For the V.R.C. Holmes and Sayor were prominent; some good work was also put in by Seth and Humphreys. On the C.ub side Bonnar played his consistently good game; Kow was the best of the balt-back lino, of which Macdownld also a useful member; and Lemarchand and Libeand played very well on the wing. Hick ing had a good deal to do in goal and did it well.

SHIELD TIE
In the first round of the Hongkong Shield competition, the Royal Engineers played the Army Ordnance Department on the H.K.F.C. The R. E. were ground on Thursday afternoon. the first to score, but the A. O. D. equalised. There was no further scoring in the first falf. When full-time was called the scores were level (2 goals each), so an extra half-hour was played, bat without altering the result,
ROYAL HONGKONG YACHT CLUB.
On Saturday, the 10th inst., the first racz for the Commodore's Cup was sailed. The course was round the rock .W. of Kauichau and lack. The wind at the start was of moderate force and varied in direction from North to North-east, but when the leading boat was near Kauichan it freshened considerably and at times blew with sufficient force to make skippers wish for a reef in their mainsails. The race itself was comparatively un routful. The provailing wind made the course a plain sail there and back, and all the yachts except Colleen wont straight for the mark, keeping S. of Kanichau. Colleen went N. of the island, and at one time it appeared that she would score considerably thereby. She cams racing along with the first of the strengthening breeze, but before she had gained en ngh to make up the extra distance she had to travel the stronger wind reached the others and about half of them got round the rock before her. The Vernon, who from the start had been drawing slowly away and had made full half her time allowance from Alan ah by the tim the boats had passed Green Island, rapidly increased her lead in the strong.r wind and rounded the rock some 3 minutes ahead of Alannah, who in her turu was between. one and two minutes ahead of the next boat. On the way home Vernon, though giving her crew a remarkably uncomfortable time sailing as she did in the gusts nearly flat on ber side with her lea-rail well under water, slipped still further away and in the end won very easily. Iris, sailed by Mr. C. A. Tomes, went well in the strong wind and drew up con- siderally ou Alannah. At ope time she looked like saving her time (9 minutes) on Vernon, but she got badly headed by the wind about the middle of the harbour and only just managed to secure second place on time. The handicap, as will be scen from the annexed times, brought the other boats of all three classes very near within 2 together, six of them finishing minutes on corrected time, but the new boat proved herself far better than her reputation and could have conceded another 4 minutes all round and still just have won.
