(Daily Press, 6th February.) The H.K.C C. to-day meet the Navy on the Cricket Ground, the commencement of the game being fixed for 11.30 a.m. The Club has the assistance of three military playa-s, but does not. look very strong in bowling. It is to be noted tha only four of the recent Interport te mare playing, the Navy has a good number of vessels to draw upon I should not be very surprised to see the Cub "caught napping," but still its batting talent is great and perhaps may pull it through. The last Club . Navy match was played on New Year's y and the next day, when the Club won by an innings and 50 raus. The Club hid a better team ou that occasion, and the Nav XI. was, to say the least, unrepresentative; in for, that XI. was challeng- ed by another naval team, but the game anfortunately a ver came off. To-day's nava team should be consid rably better than that with which R. Hanoook and Wm. Dixon wrought such hav o six weeks ago; but the list is not public yet.
Two League matches are fixed for to-day- Civil Service U.C. v. Hongkong C.C. Reserves and Craigongower C.C. v. Parsees. If the Civil Service C.C. win their match they should make fairly sure of second place at least, but the Club Reserves are improving, and a win to day is not out of the question. The record of 3 victories to their credit might almost encourage them to keep a score-book, which they have not at present. The following is the table for the competition :

H.K.C.C. v. THE GARRISON.
The Club gained an easy victory in th's match on the 30th alt. as, after drolaring their in iugs closed at 277 for 6 wickets, they dis. missed the Garrison for 131 only. The chief contributors to this success were Turner, who made another hundred nud carried he bat, and Lamble, who, at ou to bowl last of all, secured 5 wickets for less thau 4 raus each. The Club only made moderate start, H. Hancook being out at 38 and Sercombe Smith et 49, but Horsey aud Turner then proceded to lay the founda- tion of a good innings, and the score was 117 before Horsey's inuings (which included 7 fours) came to an end. Vivian, Brawn, and Horley did not do much, though Brawn hit a fiver, and wickets were down for 179, When R. Hancock joined Turner, however, the Garrison bowlers were mastered and hit about most unmercifully. Two overs of Bradford's produced 16 apiece and one of Chesney's 18. When they had added 98 ruus Turner's and Hancock's partoer- hip was cut short by the cles ir, the former being 15, nd the latter 47, not out. Turner hit 23 fours. The Garrison, on going in agninst 277, made a wretched start and lost 3 men for 14. Hodgson helped Davies to put on 72. and Davies himself was out fifth at 106, to which he bad contributed 70 by vigorous batting, se*- ingly unimpaired by his recent accident. No oue else could do anything with Lamble, who was the fifth bowler tried, yet took half the wickets. Consequently the Club won by 146 runs, beside having 4 wickets in haud Scores and analysis:-

When the Navy went in, a fair score looked poss ble at first, for Campbell kept on the defensive while Garde scoral in his usual manner. However, the stand only lasted into the ninth over, when Dixon get rid of Garde, who had 27 to his credit out of 32. Campbell left next over, Horsey followed 7 runs la er, and the rot continued until 6 wickets were down for 66. Then Rayment found Garne to stay with him, and 25 runs w re put on before the former left. Garner was out at 98, but Blair and Horley brought the 100 up and put ou 1 runs in all, before Blair was dismissed. Harris survived the completion of Sercombe Smith's over, and the game was drawn, analysis:-

This race, as announced in theseo ›lumns, came off on the 30th a t. in beautifu bright weather. The morning had been still and calm, but just before the raos a nice cool breeze sprang up from the S.
