The game was played on the Racecourse on a good cocoa-nut matting wicket. Murdoch and A. Bannerman were still absentees, and their places were, as at Newcastle, filled by J. Lord and C. Banner­ man. The weather was fine and the atten­ dance numbered about eight hundred. The Eighteen went in first, but except Humble, who batted well for his seventeen, no one got double figures, and the innings only reached 69 with nineteen extras. Palmer and Murdoch bowled unchanged, the former taking eight wickets for 31, the latter nine for 22 runs, McDonnell, Midwinter, Bonnor, and Boyle were the principal contributors to the Eleven’s score of 194. McDonnell, Giffen, and C. Bannerman were all run out, and Blackham had to retire owing to an injury to his hand. When the Eighteen went in a second time Lambert and Johnston batted pluckily,but Cooper and Boyle, who bowled throughout had little difficulty in disposing of the rest, and the total fell short of the first innings by three runs. Bonnor kept wicket in good style for the Eleven, stumping four of the Tamworth batsmen. The fielding, too, was very good. The Eleven won by an innings and 59 runs. T amworth E ighteen .

On Jan, 25 the team opened their fourth match on the Association ground at Sydney, Massie was unable to play for the Fifteen, but otherwise the side was strong. Garrett, who captained the local players, won the toss from Murdoch, and as the ground was in good order for run getting, the Fifteen went in. When play ceased on the first day only six wickets had fallen for 275 runs. The innings ultimately reached 373, a fine per­ formance against such bowling as Murdoch had at his command. H, Moses’ innings was a masterly performance. Beginning his innings carefully and with confidence, he gradually obtained complete mastery overthe attack, all the bowlers of the Eleven being unable to dislodge him. His defence was obstinate, and his driving and cutting excellent, while he was very effective on the leg side, A. Gregory played well, and con­ tributed his runs by dashing cricket, while Evans's 39 were put together quite in his best style. Nunn played with confidence, and Hiddlestone was beginning to show his best formwhen he was stumped. M ‘Donnell, A. Bannerman, Boyle, Alexander, and Bon­ nor were most conspicuous in the field. Mur­ doch kept wickets as a substitute for Black­ ham, who received an injury to his hand in the match at Tamworth. Midwinter was by far the most successful bowler for the Eleven, eight wickets falling to him for 86 runs. Palmer was very ex­ pensive, his four wickets costing 109 runs, and W . H. Cooper sent down 116 balls for 64 runs without securing a wicket. To the total of 272 totted up by the Eleven there were no fewer than eight double­ figure contributors, and the highest of these was Murdoch, who scored 52 in his best style without giving a chance. M‘Donnell batted in free and determined style for 47, Midwinter played a steady and patient game for 43, and Boyle came clean out of his shell with a very serviceable and well-earned 44, not out. The other doubles were Giffen 21, Cooper 15, Alexander 12, and Palmer 11. Turner and Evans secured three wicket3 each, at a cost of 32 and 84 runs respectively, Evans sent down no fewer than 476 balls. Marr took two wickets and Jones one, while Garrett did not secure any. The fielding of the fifteen was good all round, Hiddleston at mid-off being conspicuous by the smart­ ness of his picking up and return of the ball, while Bryant, though he missed a difficult chance from M ‘Donnell, kept the wickets well. In the foliow-en the members of the Eleven played up grandly, and the score showed 356for six wickets when the game closed on the fourth day. A. Bannerman headed the list with a faultless innings of 81, which took three hours and a half to compile, and Bonnor came second with 64, made in the short space of 40 minutes by correct and vigorous hitting. Giffen played an excellent innings for 58; Blackham was not out with 45, made in his best form ; M‘Donnell rattled up 24, which included two or three fine hits for five each, and Murdoch was bowled off his pads by Garrett for 22, put together in the crack batsman’s most attrac­ tive style. Boyle had 16 (not out) to his credit when the stumps and the match were drawn. Thus every man who batted realised a double figure. Evans was absent during the second innings of the Eleven, but none the less it was a magnificent record of batting against the good bowling of Garrett and the other trundlers. The match was pleasantly contested throughout, and as the weather was all that could be desired and the cricket for the most part first-class, the 15,000 or 20,000 persons who visited tha'ground during the four days had every reason to feel satis­ fied, The fielding of the Fifteen was decidedly loose in some instances on the fourth day.
