The pair then reached away in a very faint sir for the Channel Rocks, but presently Vernon picked up a little puff while Dione was blanketed by a passing junk and strong out a long lead. Dione, however, picked up a breeze this time from the north-west and almost ran up on her rival again at the Channel R cks; The pair | then had another very interesting bout to windward in the light" wind up to Kowloon | Rocks.

It was a reach to Meyers' buoy again and in a better breeze it looked as if Dione won'd catch Vernon, but off Hangbom point she g t left for a few seconds while a kind puff carried Vernon well away from her. This was practically the end of a fiue race, for Dione could never get on terms again and Vernon won with a sub- stantial margiu.

may be judged from the fact that his 113 contained one 6 and twenty 4'8. Shelford and Blair gave comparatively little trouble, but Garde was not disposed of until the reore bad reached 209, when he was bowled for su admirable 67. He, too, bad a fair share of luck, bat his innings was a fine one nevertheless, After his departure wickets fell rapidly, but, with the total at 235 for 8 wickets he applied the closure. Bird was by far the most success- ful bowler and came out with the excellent analysis of 6 wickets for 49 runs. Indeed, the second time he was put on bis analysis was most flattering, as he took 6 wickets for 21 runs. The fielding was beneath contempt and would have brought a blush to the cheek of any self-respecting Public School boy.

With just over two hours left for play, there did not seem to be much chance for the Schools and 'Varsities"; indeed it looked odds on the Rest gaining a substantial victory. It must be said at once, however, that the Schools and 'Varsities rose to the occasion very creditably---- the more so as they were all more or less tired by their leather hunting-and they not only man- aged to stave off defeat, but, when stumps were pulled up, had very little the worst of the draw. Bird and Elborough started the batting. The former did not stay long, but Fletober and Elborough made an excellent stand and were not separated until the score had teen taken to 70, at which total Fletcher was bowled for an invaluable 35. Broadbent and Fat shawe did not trouble the scorer, but Lemar chand and Elborough defied the attacks of the bowlers with great skill. Both played excellent cricket and took the score to 168 before Elborough was out 1.b.w. for a really splendid innings of 88.

excellent 45 not out of the previous Saturday certainly stamps Elborongh as one of the most efficient of the Club batsmen. Long may he continue to be go! After his departure, Lemarchand continued to play soundly and when stumps were drawn at 5.15, was still not out for an admirable 52. The match thus ensed in a fairly even draw, the Schools and 'Vanities having scored 190 for 6 wickets | "gainst the 235 for 8 wickets of their opponents, Dixon was the most successful b wler, taking wickets for 77.

H.M 8. "GLO Y v. H.M 8. "OCEAN," Being unable to effect a decision on the 5th inst, in the semi-final round of the Hongkong Challenge Shield, the above teams met again on the 14th before fully 5,000 spectators. It will be remembered that at an early stage in the previous game the Ocean's goalkeeper, Lewis, sustained injuries necessitating his removal to hospital; but even thus handicapped the Ocean bad the most of the game, and it was generally anticipated that if they could draw with only ten men they would win with their full complement. Bafore the game comm nced the Ocean were very sanguine of victory, while on the other hand the Glory only hoped to win, but were determined to make their opponents run all the way. Including the grand stand. seats had been provided for 700 people, and the accommodation was fully taken advantage of. Both teams received an ovation on entering the field, when it was noticed that there were several changs in the composition of the sides. The Ocean were the chief sufferers. Lewis still being laid up, Harper went from back to goal, whilst bis placo was taken by the centre, Winearls. Jackson took up the central position and the forward line was completed by the inclusion of Coulter at inside right. In the Glory team Watson, left half, substituted Lane at outside right, and Matthews came into the side at right half, Wade crossing ore to left half. The combinations lined up as follows: ----
{
Clory--Morgan, goal; Urquhart and Booth, Facks; Mattlèws. Cressman, and Wade, halves; Watson, Hensford, Milford, Moore, and Cottell, forwards.
and
Occan-Harper, goal; Hall (Rev. H. B.) and Winearls, bacts; Richards, Whitworth, Bates, balves; McLean, Coulter, Jackson, Husband, and Clark, forwards,
This was a return match, on the 14th inst, the first having ended in a victory for the Rest. Both sides were fairly strong and pretty equally matched, and an in teresting and even game was the result. During the four hours of actual play, no less than 425 runs were scored, so that there was plenty of life in the game, and, though the bowling and fielding were hardly up to the mark, the batting generally was above the average and was always bright and attractive to watch. Garde won the loss for the Rest and a start was made at 12,10. Garde und Moore were the first pair of batsmen ned Ton'min and Broadbent bowled. Both batsmen took a little time to settle down and both should have teon out early in their innings—Garde was missed at the wicket and Moore ought to have been caught in the long and gare a couple of chances of stumping. However, they soou played them- selves in and thereafter forced the game in great style, “So quickly did they sco:e that, in the 50 minutes before tiffin, they actually knocked up 124 runs, and, in spite of repeated changes, they continued to “ make bay" with the bowl. ing until 180 runs had been “telegraphed," at hich total Moore was bowled off his body for finely bit 118: It was not, perhaps, the best ings that be has played this season, as he da good deal of luck, nevertheless it was a plendid effort and be was deservedly applauded for his fine scole, The vigour of his hitting was played on the 14th inst. at the Happy then passed to Cottall,
