Shanghai Cricket Club C, Shanghai Golf Club

A largo number of spectators assembled on the Cricket Club ground on Saturday afternoon to witness the match between the Cricket Club and the Golf Club. The weather was delightfully cool, but the wicket was on the soft side after the recent rain, and runs were therefore difficult to make. The Golf Club batted first, A. E. Lanning and Turnbull being their first representatives, and an excel: ent stand was made for the first wicket against the bowling of Potter and Stanion. When McEuen relieved Stanion, however, a separation came, Turnbull putting one of the new bowler's deliveries into the hands of Farbridge. (85-1-16.) A. E. Lanning continued to play good cricket until his score had reached 37, when he was bowled by Potter. Of the remainder of the team, V. H. Lanning, with 13, nob out, was the only one to make any stand against the bowling of McEuen, and the innings closed for the moderato total of 74. McEuen had the excellent, analy: of 6 wickets for 24 runs. G. F. Lanning and Stanion opened the Cricket Club innings, but the start was disastrous. From V. H. Lanning's second ball Stanion was caught at the wicket, and with the total at 15 Mann got one past G. IV's bat. Captain Rose and McEuen made an cellent stand, however, and the total had reached 42 before Rose was bowled by Lanning. The retiring batsman knocked up 27 runs in quick time, but his innings was marred by to chances. McEuen continued to play free cricket and received splendid assistance from Weippert. With the total at 75 and the match won, McEuen was caught by Ross off the bowling of McClure, and retired with 24 to his credit. McClure and Turnbull tried hard to got one past Weippert's bat, but it was not until Mann resumed the attack that he was got rid of.
