THE HONGKONG CRICKET TEAM, then put in some extremely pretty cuts.
[FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]
Shanghai, 12th October. The team has arrived in Shanghai, and all are safely quartered in the houses of their respective hosts. The Tartar did not reach Woosung until late on Saturday night, owing to a strong N.W. wind. So strong was it, in fact, that at one period of Thursday night we only made 36 knots in 6 hours and 198 in the 24. The voyage was uneventful. The sea was at times rough, but not rough enough to cause any serious mal de-mér or to incaps- oitate the team in any way. Cricket was naturally indulged in every day, and the patience of the quarter-master and that part of the crew told off to manufacture cricket balls was severa'y taxed, as the balls had a way of disappearing under or over the net-work into the sea with mysterions rapidity. When cricket failed, other methods were employed by our ener. The English and Chinese texts of the pre-getic Captain to keep the team thoroughly up sent Treaty and its three annexes have been to the mark in training Football, dancing and carefully compared; but, in the event of even leap-frog sncceeded cricket with hardly a there being any difference of meaning bet-moment's interval (I was going to write with ween them, the sense as expressed in the English text shall be held to be the correct
It is further agreed that either of the High Contracting Parties may demand that the tariff and the articles of this convention be revised at the end of ten years from the date of the exchange of the ratifications hereof. If no revision is demanded before the end of the first term of ten years, then these articles in their present form shall remain in full force for a further term of ten years reckoned from the end of the first term and so on for successive periods of ten years.

This Treaty and its three a nexes shall be ratified by the two High Contracting Parties in conformity with their respective constitu- tions, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in Washington not later than twelve months from the present date.
In testimony whereof, we, the undersigned, by virtue of our respective powers, have signed this Treaty in duplicate in the English and Chinese languages, and have affixed our respective seals.

As citizens of the United States are al- ready forbidden by treaty to deal in or handle opium, no mention has been made in this Treaty of opium taxation.
As the trade in salt is a Government mono- poly in China, no mention has been made in this Treaty of salt taxation.

Very early on Sunday morning the tender brought down the Doctor to inspect as and one of our hosts to greet us. We learned that several of them had spent Saturday afternoon at Woosung waiting for us, and that a dinner had been arranged that hight for the teams at the Club, so our late arrival caused no small inconvenience. The programme of amusements contains among other items, a smoking concert to-night (Monday), a variety entertainment at the Theatre on Wednesday evening, and a dinner at the Club on Thursday.
The weather at present is dull, clondy, deižźling and cold. In fact there appears to be some chance of the match being postponed for a day or so, unless matters rapidly and materially improve. As we have lost Saturday afternoon's practice, a postponement of the match would be decidedly advantageous. Hongkong misy be assured though; that is perhaps hardly necessary that every member is showing the utmost keenness about the match, and is exhibiting & self-denial and a power

Various changes of bowling were tried, but with no effect, When the score was 150, and Turner had nearly completed his half century be gave an easy chaucs to Turnbull at point. After this he continued playing excellent cricket until the score was 278, when he returned the ball into the bowler's hand. His 88 waS invaluable to our side, and went a long way - towards exhausting the bowling and the fielders, A few minutes later Lumsden fell to a catch at short slip. The aspect of affairs was now fairly rosy-282-6-136. During his innings Lumsden gave one high catch, which was misjudged by Moule. It was generally agreed that this 138 Was one of the finest exhibitions of crickết even seen at Shanghai.

Shanghai, 14th October. Owing to lack of time my first account was rather brief and hurried; so a few more details may be welcome. Tuesday afternoon presented a very pretty scene the ground was gay with banting and fair ladies, and the numerous tents and stands were full to over- flowing with interested spectators.*** Lumsden, when once thoroughly set, treated the bowling with considerable freedom. Jackson, Dew, Billings, MoBaso, Turnbull and Lanning each in turn tried tɔ dislodge him, and most of them wrecked their averages in the attempt. Jackson bore the brunt of the attack and bowled very steadily. The fielding on the whole, especially during the earlier part of the day, was very good, and the returns" ero tionally smart, Farbridge, Turnbull, Mobi and V. H. Lanning being Weippert, who wore the glover, was to the fore, and allowed nothing to
