during the afternoon, including u fair spriukling
Of ladies. The band Of Il. NJ. 5. Swiftsure. under
the leadership Of Mr.. Bird, played the following
programme during the afternoon
1. Overture Italiani in Algeri " $500. 90. Rossini

3. Valse- Casino Tango "........... 80. Gunge
1. SELECTION Attilla 3" Verdi

The Honolulu team won the toss and elected to
take the field. Flag-Lieutenant Evan Thomas and
f. I. Neat were the first to 90 to the wickets, at
h~alf-past twelve o'clock precisely. just one hour
after the advertised time. Admiral Lyons UNI
pired for the Swiftsure, and Mr.. T. r. Henson
for the Honolulu team. The ball was COM
menced by J. Lishman bowling a maiden,
after which Lieutenant Evan Thomas opened
the score with a single. The two batsmen
made a long stand and both put up double figures,
Evan Thomas being the first to succumb for II,
cleverly caught by J. Lishman. Captain Aitchison
filled the vacancy, and in a very brief innings put
together II, including two doubles and ten singles,
ultimately falling Il victim TO Mossman, who made
the best catch throughout the game. Principally
at 1870 p. m. the Admiral suspended play by an
nouncing luncheon.
After a very pleasant time under the shady trees,
play was resumed at 2:15 p. m. Mr.. Neat let Il
shooter pass him, after playing very steadily for 16.
After this the wickets fell rapidly, Captain Haley
surprising himself by catching a shorter at square
leg. Mr.. W. Lishman was put on to bowl towards
the end Of the game. and helped materially in
bringing matters to a climax.
The Swiftsure's innings closed for IA, when Mr..
Ross, Captain of the Honolulu team, sent W. Lish-
man and A. G.. Ellis to defend the wicketS. Ellis
play, if it can really be called cricket, surprised
the Naval gentlemen. Though accustomed to
- knock down." he is not an adept at knocking the
ball about. Lishman made one pretty drive for 3,
and then placed the ball in the hands Of Evan
Thomas. Mr.. J. Lishman took the place Of his
brother, and after adding two to the score, allowed
one of H. DawsOn's left-handers to hOrizontalize his
stumps. j. II. Wodehouse followed with an 0, be-
ing caught by Evan Thomas. Mr.. Ross made 4
pretty cut for two, when one of Dawson's breaking
from the off side, took his middle stump. Ellis,
=, op,Dci,r h Snaa+o tprS and rrzZliny tho
bowlers for half an hour, retired with 4 ducks egg
at the instigation of Midshipman Luard. Mr..
Mossman played a pretty game for s, when he
tempted Lieut.. GOldfnch with a skier, which was
secured. Captain Haley run up four singles, and
then allowed himself to be bowled by Dawson, who
.also foored the stumps of Guy WodehOuse and
Lycett for an 0 each. Symthe made one, and was
rather foolishly run out. II. Whitney carried his
bat for an 0 total, 81.
The hit of the day was made by F~lag-Lieut. Evan
Thomas, who landed a ball clean over the scorers
tent. for which he obtained four. The bowling of
Assistant Paymaster Dawson was the cricketing
feature of the day. He is a whole team in himself.
The two Captains certainly deserve well of their
respective teams, but the want of practice on the
part of the local team was only too apparent.
The wickets fell as follows Swiftsure's team, l
for 81, for Al, 3 for 81, 1 for so, 3 for CD, 6 for ca,
7 for 81, s for 60, Q for n, 10 for IA. Honolulu
team, 1 for 4. , for 6, 3 for 6, / for 8, D for 8, 6 for
%, Z for %, s for 2G, 9 for 81, 10 for 81.
