In the first innings of Victoria J. Quiltv bowled 9 wickets for 55 runs. For Victoria McShane was very destructive. Melbourne was the scene of the sixth match, on March 23, 1883, and Victoria won by an innings and 98 runs. The wicket was a bad one, and Boyle and Palmer were almost un­ playable. South Australia could only raise 23, and of these J. Noel made 18, no less than seven of the team getting the dreaded “ duck.” Victoria scored 230, J. Slight making 44, Mid­ winter 40, Horan 31, Scott 26, and Boyle 10. In the second attempt the South Australians made 79. G. Giffen getting 19, F. King 15, and Noel 12. G. Giffen bowled 5wickets in the only innings of Victoria. The seventh match was played at Adelaide in February, 1884, and was won by Victoria by 4 wickets. The game was remarkable for heavy scoring, no less than 1,307 runs being made for the loss of 36 wickets, and these runs were all made on one wicket. For Victoria Trinnick scored 109 and 89, J. Slight 53 and 37, J. Harry 57 and 60, P. Deely 69, and S. Morris 60 not out. For South Australia W. Claxton played two very fine innings for 72 and 73, A. H. Jarvis made 91 and 40, W. Giffen 20 and 89, W. Watling 24 and 54, and J. Brideson 52. In the second innings of Victoria Claxton secured 5 wickets for 116 runs, but as may well be imagined, with such huge totals the bowling suffered. During the game 3,040 balls were delivered, and even at the finish the wicket played very truly. ^he eighth match was played at Melbourne in January, 1885, and although behind on the first innings, South Australia won by 53 runs. G, Giffen scored 73, W. Watling 58, C. Kemp 11 and 38, J. McKenzie 32, F. King 28, and J. Lyons 21 and 21. For Victoria, P. Lewis made 65 and 13, W. Bruce 63, McShane 32 and 22. and Trinnick 18. G.
