Pearce carrying his bit for 44. The time was then 350 p.m., and it was evident that the Club would have little chance of winning the game. The Services' early representatives made a fairly good defence, moreover, and the first wioket (Heath's) produced 39 Cornabe was out at 45, and Goldsmith at 47, bat Watson and Barron got the ninety hoisted. Both were out soon after and the score stood at 102 for five wickets. Two more fell before stumps were drawn, Cooper proving deadly, Time did not permit a definite conclusion, and the Services managed to save the game. Scores and analysis :-
At hockey some interesting games have been played this week. The H.K.H.C. on Monday boat H.M.S. Centurion (4-3); ou Wednesday, with a poor team, lost to the 110th Maurattas and yesterday lost to H.M.. Leviathan (4-0). Last week the Club beat the Leviathan (1-0), but the naval men this week defeated the 110th Mahrattas, the Club's conquerors, at Kowloon. Fixtures next week include H.K.Ú.C. v. H.M.S. Ocean and H.K.H.C, v. 93rd Burmas, the latter of whom have just finished their company competition at hockey. The Cup contest starts before the end of the present month, entries closing at 5 p.m. on the 28th. This year it will be conducted on the knock-out system, The 93rd Burmas ought to stand an excellent chance.

The entries for the Races are "ow published. The largest number of ponies entered for any race is 67 (Nil Desperandum Stakes). The Maiden Stakes have attracted 19 entries, the Derby 2v, the German Cup 51. the Challenge Cup 36, and the "Blake" Challenge Cup 29. The largest entry of walers in three races is 10 (Foochow Cup). Nearly 50 stables in all are represented.
Good sound work has been going on at the 18cecourse since the closing of the entries last Saturday. The best gallop so far has been done by Mr. Paul Chater's sub. which did the 14-mile in fine order, finishing in good style. This pony is now a strong favourite for the Valley Stakes and German Cup. The sub- soription ponies have developed wonderfully, being now considered to be a very good lot; indeed, as good a lot as has been seen for many years. Up to date the Derby favourite is Mr. Goetz's Narses; as he is not yet in full training, however, it is difficult to form correct notion of his capabilities, but he comes from Tientsin with a splendid reputation. As far as I know, nothing has been settled about his rider; as he has a very bad temper, this is s very important matter. Messrs. Mody's and Lewis's Derby ponies are considered to be very good; they have been in first-class form in their training.
A couple of interesting revolver matches have been decided lately. In the first a Hong- kong Volunteer team. got together by Capt. D. Macdonald, tried conclusions with the 93rd Burmas, but were badly beaten by over 100 points. This week the Burmas defeated by 45 points H.M.S Glory, who had won a previous match against them.

There is little to say about the V.R.C. Wheu they played in the Shield socker match against the Tamar they showed better organisation than their victorious opponents, but very weak kicking and shooting) Training for the scratch four-cared races, to come off on the 30th, con tinues. A smoking concert has been fixed for the 6th prox, a very good programme being forthcoming. Nothing is yet fixed regarding the sports; the 1st April is probably the date.

H,K,C;C. v. AN UNITED SERVICES TEAM.
The number of hours allowed for this match were insufficient on the 16th inst. and the H.K.C.C. were thus deprived of what should have been a very easy victory, the United Services team at the close wanting 130 runs to save the game and only having three wickets to fall. For their commanding position the Club had to thank chiefly W.C.D. Turner, who scored 104, out of which as many as 84 were from four-hits; and Cooper, who, after having

PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES V. THE REST.
tage thereby gained in working the scrums, the Wanderers contrived to clear their lines successfully, and now and again to initiate an attack on their own account. Midfield play was now fairly even, and scrums were frequent. Bar- nes, at three-quarter, was playing a good game for the Club, and the back division of the Wan- derers were working like Trojans. King, who exhibited a fine turn of speed, at length got away and looked like running through, but Barnes collared him. The Wanderers were showing a decided smartness in passing, and a pretty movement looked dangerous for the Club, but Campbell intervened and relieved he pressure. At length Robertson, securing from Barnes, got over for the Club. The goal kick failed. Play continued of the give-an-take order from This match on the Cricket Ground on 23rd now until the whistle sounded. Balf-time inst. proved almost farcical, owing to the uneven-arrived with the score standing :—H.K.F.C, 3 ness of the sides. The teams took the field a points; Wanderers, On resuming the advertised, except that Piper did not play for the Wanderers soon evidenced their determination Public Schools and Biggs was to have taken his to go all the way, and King again got away, place, but did not turn up to bat. The Rest and cleverly evading all opposition, got over won the toss and went in. Only 2 byes had the line. Campbell made no mistake with the been scored when Barron was out, and this was goal-kick. The Club, now thoroughly warmed an omen of what was to follow. Owing to some up to their work, pressed strongly, but the Wan- fair batting by Gibson 20 went up with 2 wickets dérers were defending smartly.

Once more the Club not only was the Rest's score passed but 77 was attempted to get within scoring distance, but a on the board before the first wicket (Heath's) knock-on spoiled the effort. The Wanderers fell. H. Hancock failed, but the next five men were now showing a marked improvement made light of the bowling. The 200 went up on their display in the first half, and made for 4 wickets, and the 300 for 5.
