still keeps mild and mostly muggy. The nor-easter is still looked for, but cometir not. We had light rains on Wednesday night, which have refreshed the vog and laid the dust. But the heat does not conduce tothe enjoyment of out-door exercise AND SPORTS, as the cricketers will feelingly realise to-day in the match between' the Club and the Garrison, commenced yesterday. The Club made 247 in their first attempt yesterday. The Military then went in and after trio overs time was called. Play was resumed this morning. The team to meet the Singapore and Shangbni elevens will be drawn for after this one of the matches of the season. I expect the Mili-tory be well represented in it. In spite of the muggy weather the Football Glub have commenced, and on Thursday ix-a-side competition were played off. Tennis has been commenced on the Cricket Ground, but not with much vigour as yet; croquet_is mud: the vogue, aod cricketers are active at the nets. Meantime the "bike" claims many devotees, not a few being former tennisites.
