As in all places where Englishmen congre­ gate, cricket is pursued in Egypt with con­ siderable activity, especially during the autumn and winter. An interesting match between the elevens of the' two principal cities wa9 played at Cairo on the grounds of the Khedivial Sporting Club on Monday, February 5th, when the capital proved easily victorious. Various well-known English clubs were represented :—I Zmgari by Capt. Rome, the Incogniti by Messrs. H. B. Carver, P. W. Stout and Scott-Dalgleish, Lancashire County by Mr. Maclaren, etc. The wicket is a matting one stretched over grass, and appeared to play well, and the out-fielding ground is good and level, though very fast. Alexandria won the toss and went in first but did not make a very good show, the majority of the team beiug evidently short of practice. The first three wickets fell very quickly to some most guileless “ donkey- drops ” from P. W. Stout, but Harold Carver, playing a resolute game, soon knocked him off and finally carried his bat for an excellent innings of 60. It will be seen that he and his brother made 78 out of the total of 116. Sharp, a left-hander, bowled well and made short work of the “ tail.” Mention must not be omitted of the excellent wicket-keeping of E. M. Drower, once, I believe, well-known at the Oval. The catch with which he dismissed Macaulay was a “ gem.” The general fielding was good. When Cairo went in the weakness of the Alexandrian bowling was quickly apparent. With the exception of H. B. (Jarver, who really bowled admirably, keeping a capital length and making the ball “ do a bit,” the bowlers were sadly erratic and “ off the spot.” Anderson played a very sound innings, as did Capt. Rome, whose style was much admired, and Paton hit very hard and effectively, but had a considerable amount of luck. The runs were knocked off before the second wicket fell, and the closure was put in force when the score had reached 255 for seven wickets. Alexandria went in again, and at the call of time had scored 67 for two wickets, of which H. B. Carver obtained 45 not out in good form. The match attracted a consider­ able number of spectators from among the English residents and visitors in Cairo. C airo . Capt. T. S. Liddell, b H. Carver .............12 Rev.T. E. F.Anderson, b H.
