Among the old ponies, Mr. Wingard's Algerine is looked to for a lot, especially in the Challonge. Cup, where, however, Rare Rose, the holder, will run him very close. These two may fight it out in the China Champions.

Directly after tiffin, Dixon's long and spl ndid inuings was brought to a close by a good catch in the long field. His 118 took him about an hour and three- quarters to compile and coutained three 6's and seventeen 4'8. He gave one or two haces of stamping and a possible chance at the wicket, but these were all the blemishes in an altogether admirable di pl y. MacKenzie, who followed, gave little trouble, but Bird and Cooper both hit well and added 59 runs for the lust wicket, Bird being than caught by his namesake for a useful 21.

The innings thus terminated for the very creditable score of 26. As may be supposed, none of the bowlers came out with a very good analysis, Nugent a d ́Rimington shoving the best figures. The fielding all round was fair¦ and Jackson was especially good at point. Garde, however. f roce did not appear to be in form behind the wicket. The Se vices star ed batting with Fawcett and Garde, and Dixon and Bird bowled. Careful play was the order of the day and runs came slowly in cone- quence. With 15 on the board, however, Garde was bowled and Cooke came in. Fawcett left at 22 and Bird succeeded him. He did not stay long, and was followed by Jackson. Cook mean- while was playing excellent oricket and looked like making a score When he had made 28. however, he was smartly taken in the slips by Dixon. With Radcliffe in, another small stand was made and the score had been increased to 86 before Jackson was bowled for a care- ful 19: Dalrymple also gave trouble. and,

Both Bird and Raymond played excellent cricket for their raus, aud Bisset towards the end of the day hit with considerable vigour. With the fall of his wicket, stumps were drawn, the score the o being 343 for 7 wickets, Cooper carrying out his bat for an admirable 90 not out. All the Garrison bowlers proved very expensive, but Fanshawe took 3 out of the 7 wickets that fell. The following are the full scores and analyses :-

H.K.C.C. . THE G.RRISON The Club team w a f-r too strong for the military men in the ab re match, which was played on the 31st ult. in cold and cheerless wreathe.. The Club excutive did not wish to play so strong an eleven against their not too powe ful opponents, but it would seem that the much discus ed “ 'young players" were already tiring of the game, as very few of them had put down their names to play, and the Committee had perfores to select whom they could get Even theu two or three man had to b picked up on the ground. The Garrison had pr. tty nearly their full strength, but just now it would appear that military cricket is at rather a low ebb in spite of the more than average ability of several players. Be that as it may, th⋅ Club had all the bat of the encounter ou Saturday and won in the easiest possible manner by no less than 2:3 ru ́s-with caly 7 wickets down
The Garrison won the tess and hitted first. So badly did they perform, however, against the bowling of Dixon, Bird, Cooper and Bisset, that they were all disposed of iu rather more than an hour for a paltry 70 runs. The only men to score double figures were Radcliffe (19)
