The seventeenth match, against Twenty- two of Shoalhaven and District, was begun at Nowra, N.S.W., on Friday, Jan. 16. Hunter •was still suffering from a severe blow on the thumb, and Shaw and Lillywhite stood out, so G. F. Hearne was enlisted to com­ plete the eleven. Shrewsbury, who had won the toss, and Scotton began batting, and after the latter had been reprieved by the local umpire for a run out, Shrewsbury was smartly caught at short-leg from a sharp hit. Ulyett was not long in making his runs, when another verdict of the local man— this time adverse to the Englishmen—sent him back, a very bad decision for a catch at the wicket. Barnes stayed some time, but runs came slowly, as the Nowra captain insisted on the boundary flags being placed round the edge of the paddock in which the game was played. The enclosure was in­ deed so large that to hit or attempt to hit out of bounds would probably end fatally, so most of the men were content to get their runs in singles. After making 14 Barnes played on. Bates, who followed, was imme­ diately run out, but Flowers was in some time for 7, and Briggs put a little more life into the game by rattling up 20. Scotton all this time had been playing a wretchedly slow game, but his time came at last, after having been in nearly four hours for 25—a ridiculous performance^ Sevfen wickfftS frereTnSwHTSWiT'foi' 89', T>flt on Bead and Attewell getting together things went badly for the Nowra men. Buns came freely, mostly in twos and singles, but in spite oi several changes in bowling no separation was effected, and at the drawing of the Btumps the score was 145 for seven wickets— Bead 37 (not out) and Attewell 20 (not out). The wicket was a concrete one, covered, as usual, with cocoa matting, and was far and away the best of the sort played on as yet in this country. The attendance numbered about 1,000, but they did not appreciate the slow play. The following morning broke clear and fearfully hot. Arrangements had been made to start at eleven o’clock, and the not­ outs, Bead and Attewell, took up their posi­ tions punctually, rapidly running up the score to 170, when Attewell was stumped for a very good 33. Peel joined Bead, who had played better cricket in this match than he has done on any previous occasion in Aus­ tralia, and 11 more runs were added, when Bead was given out as caught at short-leg— a bad decision. His 59 was the highest score he has yet made in the colonies. Before another run was made, G.F. Hearne was out leg before—another bad decision, and the innings closed for 181. The Nowra men commenced their innings at half-past twelve, and several showed good form. Peel and Flowers started the bowling,butafter Flowers had bowled sixty-four balls for 5 runs, Ulyett was put on, and then wickets fell fast. The locals could not cope withUlyett’space, several of their best men being clean bowled before they attempted to play. At luncheon time, two o’clock, twelve wickets were down for 57, and on resuming, the innings closed for 87. Heavy thunder now broke over the ground, with drenching rain, and the game was stopped for three-quarters of an hour, which prevented all chance of playing the match out. The second innings of the Twenty-two commenced at five o’clock, Ulyett and Atte­ well bowling. Ulyett, however, soon retired in favour of Bates, and at six o’clock ten wickets had fallen for 32 runs, when the stumps were drawn. The heat was awful, and as the day advanced became more and more oppressive. It was indeed suffocating almost till midnight, when a sudden change took place. E nglish E leven .

Over the first range, the whole party had to walk over two miles, and over the second five miles had to be done on foot. On the top of the second mountain there is a waterfalldropping 600ft., and this, after running about 100 yards, again drops 300ft.,with a fall of about 150ft. more after again running 100 yards, in a l l - over 1,000ft. Viewed from the top, look­ ing into the valley, it was a magnificent sight, although the weather was slightly misty. It is called the Fitzroy Falls, and is certainly worth a long journey to see. Moss Vale was reached at seven p.m., after a very pleasant ride, and as rain had fallen during the previous night, no dust—the usual bane of coaching in Australia—dis­ turbed us. At two o’clock on Monday, Jan. 19, the team left Moss Vale forYass, to play a one-day match against twenty-two of that district. Heavy rain fell all day, and on arriving at Yass the place was nearly flooded. The downpour, though, ceased about mid­ night, and the thirsty ground had soaked up the copious rainfall so effectually that before noon on the following day the dust was blowing about. TH E E I G H T E E N T H M A T CH . ENGLISH TEAM v. TWENTY-TWO OF YASS. A very strong twenty-two had been got together for this match begun on Jan. 20. The Eleven won the toss, and Scotton and Shrewsbury went to the wickets. A couple by Shrewsbury came from the first over, but the very first ball sent down to Scotton removed his bails, Ulyett, who followed, soon became busy, and rattled up 20, when he was caught by the bowler. Barnes had only made 2, when he met with the same fate as Ulyett. Shrewsbury was soon after bowled for 16. Bates made 10, which included a straight drive clean over the boundary, for which he was presented with a medal which for two years had been promised to the batsman who could hit a ball over the boundary. The hit was a straight drive, and must have pitched 125 yards. Briggs quickly made 11, when he was caught at the wicket. Flowers pulled on, and at lunch-time eight wickets were down for 72. After lunch Attewell hit away merrily, and principally through his exertions the score reached 103, the lowest yet made by this team in Australia. The Twenty-two had three hours to make the 104 required to win, but could only make 70 in that time for the loss of eleven wickets. Attewell and Peel bowled well. 1,500 spec­ tators must have been on the ground, inclu­ ding many ladies. The Eng'ishmen had a fine time of it here, being treated like princes by the good people of Yass, with whom they spent a jovial twenty-four hours, c Attewell, b Bates 1 A. Shrewsbury, b HowW.

ENGLISH TEAM v. TWENTY-TWO OF MOSS VALE. Leaving Yass at eleven p.m. the team arrived at Moss Vale at three o’clock on the following morning, Jan. 21, on which day the match against 22 of Moss Vale and Dis­ trict was begun. The Eleven won the toss, and sent in the two Notts men, Shrewsbury and Scotton. The wicket was concrete, covered with cocoa matting, and a rare good one it proved.
