Owing to Ward having strained his for the Interport team by 104 runs and 4 leg on Friday, a place was found in the Shanghai XI for Walter Dixon, while de Paris played instead of Garde on the other side. The chief feature of the match was the fine batting of Tarner, who went in with one wicket down for 52 on his side and scored 61 out of 131 added
for the next three wickets. Though not equal in finish to Turner's performance, Smith's 66 was a capital innings; and Lumsden's hitting in the last po tion of the game was a sight worth witnessing.

It was about noon when Sercombe Smith went to the wicket accompanied by William Dixon, the bowling being entrusted to J. T. Dixon and Bird. The start was bad, as the left-hander got ril of Dixon in his third over, the score being 10.

Of the
The annual report is as follows:-The com mittes have much pleasure in submitting their report for the season 1992-3. The season was
very successful one in every way 22 matches played, 17 were won and 5 lost, all of them being keonly contested. Mr. R. Basa, who heads the list of batting averages with 16.6 in 22 innings, has won the Belilios Challenge Shield outright, having secured the best average for the third time. It will be remembered the Shield was presented by Mr. E. B. Belilios, C.M.G., to the Club in 1893, and its conditions were that before becoming the property of any person, it must be won by him two seasons in succession or three times in all. The following are the previous holders:- 1893-99

1899-1900 1900-01... 1901-02 Mr. R. Pestonji obtained the best bowlin g analysis, with an average of 4.9 for 58 wickets.
The amount of subscriptions being inadequate, and the expenditure having increased, there remains at the close of the season a balance of only $33.92. The refreshment bar pays its way well.
The total number of members is at present 54. Lawn-tennis was resumed during the summer months, and there was greater enthusiasm shown in the Tournament; the entries being double those of last year.
The final in the scratch singles was won by Mr. A. O. Brawn, and the same gentleman and Mr. J. P. Jordan won the doubles,

The members held a very successful 'at home on the 31st January last. During the afternoon a return match with the Volunteer Coronation Contingent was played, which ended in victory for the Club, and the various prises were presented.
The thanks of the Club are due to the Presi dent for his annual crickėt prizes.
We regret to report that Mr. M E. Asger, who has captained the team so ably since the formation of the Club ten years ago, has owing to several reasons felt himself compelled to resign his post.
Dr. Dominador Gomez was sentenced at Manila on the 29th ult, to imprisonment for four years and two months and to pay a fine of 3,250 pesetas, his offences being the foundation of an illegal association, sedition, conspiring with cut-throats, etc. He will be allowed no bail while appealing.
The Manila Chamber of Commerce accuses Collector Shuster with a grave break of confi- dence, disclosing business secrets of foreign merchants, and giving Dr. Niederlein, head of the St. Louis Exposition Board, private samples and invoices. Mr. Shuster seems to be making himself popular with foreigners in Manila,
