match ; the opposite side hated first and In
their innings made a score OF "a runs: We
put together in our innings As runs, thereby
winning by 81 runs, as it was a one-inninee
game. The batting of A. Harrigan and Mr..
w. Fishlock was fine and the bowling of Ed
ward, Thomas and Joseph of Tortola was
very good among our men McKetny, Burn
ct and Sixto batted in dashing style. and
Masters Hoheb and McKetny quite distin-
guished themselves in bowling.
After the match was over and a %sunfptu-
GUS dinner of a roasted pig had been par
taken of, we retired to bed.
On Sunday church-going was the princi-
pal thing. On Sunday night the boys were
removed from the Botanical Station to the
Quarantine Station House, where we had @
fine time of it. On Monday we spent our
time in seeing cotton ginned, cane ground,
and buying fruit and vegetables.
Our most hearty thanks are extended to
the Government Secretary of st. Thomas
for giving us free passports for our trip;
to the COMMISSIONS of Tortola for the sloop
kindly lent US for the occasion and to Mr..
& Mrs. Fishlock and Mrs. Harrigan for their
kindness shown to us during our whole STAY
in the Island. We left Tortola, after spend
ing a pleasant time and receiving much hos
pitality, at 7.45 am. on Tuesday and arrived
safely at home by noon of the same day.
