This match was played on Saturday afternoon and resulted in rather an easy victory for the Recreation Club. The parently ing no change bowlers, Peshatour team were unfortunate in ap-
their fielding however, considering how little practice they are able to get, was really very good—and in some instances rather surprised the Shanghai batsmen.
1 good innings yut was lucky in being good insigy of ab but was Lucy let off in the slips when he had scored one. His score included seven fours, two threes, four twos and three singles.' Coulthard, Peace, T. Wallace and S. Wallace also did well for their side. Collom was the most fortunate with ball, taking 6 wickets for an average of fifteen runs. For the Peshavour Collom also himself with the bat making thirty before Crawford bowled him. Crease played very steadily, his contribution of twenty-one being mostly made up of singles. Of the bowlers, Crawford was most 6 taking four wickets in as Carles succeeded him but after adding a man troublesome, but beyond that every thing overs for five runs. The wind was four, a single, and a three, was Saunders who had gone on in Orman's place while Woodward replaced Wade at the Grand Stand end. Jones was caught behind the wicket without scoring, and Stokes was finely t in the long field by Orman from s magnificent hit to the on, after scoring nine. Scott added three before being caught behind the wicket, and six overs afterwards, five of which were maidens, Hearn was run out, Probst being not went off well, and we trust the Pésharour beaten, will carry away pleasant recollections of their half day's outing in Shanghai.
