Singapore. 
A cricket match was played on Saturday, the 23rd July, between the officers of 
H.M.S. Hermione and an XI. nominally composed of officers B.A. As, however, 
there were only eleven gunner officers in the district at the time, three of whom 
were unavoidably absent, it was found necessary to make up with a corres¬ 
ponding number of N.C.O’s. 
The match was played at Blakan Mati (an island where a large number of the 
B.A. are stationed) and resulted in a win for the gunners on the 1st innings. 
There was not time to finish the 2nd innings, although play was continued 
vigorously all through the heat of the 
day. 
The score was as follows
