NON-SMOKERS. F or the B enefit of T he C ricketers ’ F und . With the decision of this match at Lord’s on Tuesday, first-class cricket came to an end for the season. Despite the objections raised by some few critics, the idea of a game which would allow of a division of the principal members of the Australian team was a happy one, and Mr. V. E. Walker, who was the promoter of the fixture, is to be con­ gratulated on its complete success. Eight of the Colonial players took part in the match, but English Amateur Cricket was only poorly represented. Tbe loss of Black­ ham. who had to give up all idea of playing in consequence of an iujured hand,too left the Smokers without a capable wicket-keeper, a serious loss to them as it proved. Still the cricket on the whole was interesting, and everyone will be glad to hear that a deserving charity has received a substantial benefit, over eleven thousand persons paying the entrance of a shilling during the two days. The Non-Smokers, who won the tofs, made a bad start, losing three good wickets for 38. Barlow and Bonnor, however, changed the aspect of the game. The latter was let offat, the wickct when he had made forty-four,a nd this had a very prejudicial effect on the pros­ pects of the Smokers. His hitting, though a little lucky at times, was most brilliant. He punished Spofforth in particular with the greatest severity, and among his hits was a six out of the ground from that bowler. While he was in 15^ runs were added, and of these he contributed 124, in which were one six, sixteen fours, seven threes, and ten tw’os. As will be seen he scored more than one half of the runs made by his side from the bat. In a bad light on Monday evening the Smokers lost four of their best wickets for 25 and they never got over this bad start. Despite some good cricket bv Messrs. Bowden and Clarke they had to follow on in a minorty of 139, and it w’as mainly the steady play of Gunn in the second inninejs which put the Non-Smokers iu again. The Non-Smokers won by nine wickets. Peate’s bowling figures when he went on a second time in the Non-Smokers’ first innings were extraordinary. He bowled thirteen overs for ten runs and six wickets. The bowling of Mr. W. G. Grace and Bxrlow for the Non-Smokers proved very effective,as will be seen. Score and analysis :— N o n -S m o k e r s . First Innings. Mr. W. G. Grace, c and b P alm er...............10 Mr. A. C.
