I n a match between the Primrose and Victory clubs, at Victoria Park, on Saturday, Stevens (Primrose) bowled three wickets in one over. W e understand that the Committee of the Notts County Club have formally protested against the retention of Orossland in the Lan­ cashire team. The fast bowler was born at Sut­ ton in Ashfield (Notts), and, as the Nottingham authorities argue, lives there during the winter. E. L ockwood and Peate, of the Yorkshire Eleven, were both engaged on Saturday in a match at Wakefield, between Lascelles Hall and Hodgson and Simpson’s. Lockwood was in the Lascelles Hall team, Peate on the opposite side. Both failed to score. Hodgson and Simpson's made 79, Lascelles Hall 83 for seven wickets. S e v e r a l cricketers were present at the Levee at St. James’s Palace, on Monday, by H.lt. H. the Prince of Wajes, by command of the Queen. Among them were Captain F. W.

The following account of the stay of the Eng­ lish cricketers in Queensland from the pen of R. G. Barlow will be read with interest. It was published in the Athletic News :—As soon as the match was over we had to hurry off to Queensland, and left Sydney at 7 15 p.m. on January 30, quite a crowd assembling at the wharf to see us off, and we got three good Eng­ lish cheers as we moved of. We shipped ou board a fairly large steamer called the Keilawarra, and we experienced a very pleasant time of it during our journey of 500 miles, being in sight of land nearly the whole time. We arrived at our destination on the evening of February 1. Ours was the first team of English cricketers that had visited Queensland, and, therefore, the greatest interest was taken in our trip here. We were met by quite a thousand inhabitants, and we were taken in a drag and four to our quarters, the amateurs being “ put u p” at the Queensland Club, whilst the players were taken to the Globe Hotel. We were quite pleased with the appearance of Brisbane, which we found a far better town than we expected. We commenced our match against the local eighteen on the 2nd February, when the company was the largest ever seen at a cricket match in Queensland, over 7,000 being present on tho first day,a public holiday having been proclaimed on account of the fixture. Mr. Bligh won the toss, and before we were all dismissed 265 runs had been chalked up. Mr. Read played a fine innings of 84, although he was rather lucky early on. Bates hit very hard for his 41, some of his strokes being of the leviathan order, tho ball dropping outside the ground. Mr. Leslie was in good form again, scoring 40, and Mr. Charles Studd got 36in a style that was greatly admired. My own little contribution was 15, and I had to have Mr. Steel to run forme, as I had not got over the sprained thigh contracted in Sjdney. The batting of the Queenslanders was not very formidable, as their two efforts only realized 62 and 49, so we won easily in one innings. Messrs. Steel and C. Studd, with Barnes, did all the bowling, and fairly puzzled the natives. There is a lack of good cricketers in Brisbane, and there is a rare opportunity for a competent professional out here. Theywanted one of us to stay, but we could not see leaving Old England. I could do with Queensland well enough if it was not for the excessive heat and the mosquitoes. On the 4th February a few gentlemen chartered a special train to run the English cricketers to a place called Toowoomba, and a magnificent trip it was, too, the scenery being wonderfully fine. A day later our amateurs arranged a pigeon shooting match with some Brisbane gentlemen, eight aside, and after some good shooting a tie was proclaimed, each side having knocked over 30 birds. The same evening a grand ball was given in our honour. The large hall was beautifully deco­ rated for the occasion, the walls being lined with green leaves and flowers verytastefully arranged, besides cricket emblems of various kinds. From Brisbane, where we had experienced such hos­ pitality, we journeyed on to Maryborough, a distance of 170 miles, by water, and on arrival at our destination we were welcomed in the hearty style to which we have become so familiar. The mayor of the town, as well as many leading gentlemen, awaited our arrival, and we were soon comfortably established at our respective hotels. Maryborough is not a par­ ticularly large place, and all the buildings are of wood. The first evening we were at Mary­ borough we were treated to a special entertain­ ment by a number of aboriginals. A huge fire was kindled, and the blacks, having attired themselves in all sorts of fashions, sang and danced in an entirely original manner—quite different from the Moore and Burgess business, iThe King of the Aborigines was introduced to
