Only seven or eight of the team which constituted the Interport'' XI in th's fixture on Saturday last are among the "certainties" for Hongkong, but in a well-contested game they had the satisfaction of defeating the stron; eleven opposed to them, thong! only by the narrow margin of 19 runs, Indeed, when within 50 runs of victory, the Rest had lost only half their wickets, it looked as if the honours would again fall to them. But in a sporting effort to make the needed runs, they attempted to force the game, in a failing light, and lost their last five wickets for 25 runs.
