XVIII. OF SAND. HURST. F i r s t D ay — W e d n e s d a y , N o v e m b e r 16. Bendigo, or Sandhurst, is the third town in Victoria. It also owes its existence to the goldfields. There is a strong team there, including Boyle, who is well known in England. A grand wicket had been prepared, and the Eng ishmen, who batted first, made good use of it. Abel and Mr. Stoddart opened the inn­ ings, but for a time the play was slow. The amateur at length opened his shoulders, and had made 39 out of 53, when he was bowled. Mr. Hawke played excellent cricket for 19, an I was then bowled. Peel followed, and lost no time in beginning to score. He was let off early in his innings, and made up by scoring rapidly. At length, when the total had reached 77, Abel was bowled, after play­ ing a good innings. Bates was lively while he was at the wicket. He left at 197, and with 200 up Peel was caught at point. The latter’s score included three 5’s, three 4’s, and only a dozen singles. Mr. Bowden failed, but Messrs. Read and Newton madeafine stand. The latter gave several chances, but it was not until he had made 51 that he was held inthedeep field. Rawlin and Mr. Read played out time, seven wickets being then down for 313, Mr. Read 51 and Rawlin 13. S e c o n d D a y — T h u r s d a y , N o v e m b e r 17. On resumingthe following morningMr. Read and Rawlin both left with the total at 323. Beaumont andAttewell, however, made a long stand, taking the total to 417, whenAttewell was bowled. The Eighteen then went in, and lost eleven wickets for 135, G. Mackay, Edwards, and Harvey all playing good cricket. The fielding was again brilliant, and Mr. Bowden took the wickets very fairly. The game was drawn. M r . V er n o n ’ s T e a m . R. Abel, b Beswick ... 57 Mr. A. E. Stoddart, b Tatchell ..................39 Hon. M. B. Hawke, b Tatchell ..................19 E. Peel, c A.

Shrewsbury’s team opened their tour at Parramatta, near Sydney, on November 4. Arriving from the metropolis by rail at 11a.m., they were met by the mayor and representa­ tives of the local clubs and the usual toasts were afterwards given and acknowledged. They then proceeded to Ithe ground, where a capital wicket had been prepared. The sun was extremely hot early in the day, but as the afternoon proceeded the heat was tempered by a cool breeze. There were about 1,000 people present. The local skipper won the toss, and of course sent his men to bat. A very feeble stand was made, Walford and Schwartzkoff being the only men who could face the deliveries of Lohmann and Briggs. The little Lancashire man had apoint the better average, vut Lohmann bowled equally well. The innings was over a fewminutes after luncheon. Then the Englishmen opened the eyes of the yokels. Shrewsbury and Ulyett went to the wickets, and no time was wasted in proceeding to business. Shrewsbury took liberties with the bowling, while Ulyett punished it severely. Each man gave one or two chaiices, but the fieldsmen were lenient, and a separation was not effected until Ulyett was caught. The Yorkshireman had rattled up 73 out of 101 in very quick time. He made some really splendid hits. Mr. Docker, the next man, was equally free, and was rapidly overhauling Shrews­ bury’s score, when the latter was caught after playing a good innings. (2—40—134.) Mr. Newham filled the vacant crease, and at once settled to hitting, the two amateurs scoring off all the bowling alike. Just before time, Mr. Newham gave a chance to point, which was accepted. The total was then 196 for three wickets, Mr. Docker 41 not out. S e c o n d D a y — S a tu rd a y , N o v e m b e r 5. Saturday morning found the weather dull and oppressive, with a storm threatening. The Englishmen continued their innings at half­ past eleven, Maurice Read going to the wickets with Mr. Docker. Eleven runs only had been added to the overnight total, when Mr. Docker attempted a forward cut, and had to retire, Schwartzkoff effecting a fine one-handed catch at point. Preston joined Read, who, however, now tried a big hit, and was caught at long-on after only making 5. Lohmann and Preston scored rapidly, and then the latter, who was scoring well, was dismissed by a fine catch at cover-point. Briggs and Lohmann were next associated, and the score steadily raised to 253, when Lohmann, failing to get hold of a ball, put it into Brodie’s hands at slips. Mr. Smith had a very short life, for he snicked a f ist ball, and Brodie made a splendid left-handed catch. The first ball of the next over upset Briggs’s wicket (9—15—254). Mr. Brann and Pilling hit well for a few moments, but in forcing the game the Lancastrian was smartly run out. Cleve, who was tried a few years ago in big matches, bore the brunt of the bowling with fair success, although out of practice. The fielding was very moderate, notwithstanding that two or three of the men were brilliant. The Eighteen, with four hours to ba,t, began their second innings, which turned out much more successful than the first. Briggs and Lohmann bowled again, and the former captured the first wicket when the total was 14. Rice, a College boy, began by making two splendid drives off Biiggs to the boundary. Then rain fell, and the ball became very slippery. At 37 Brodie skied one, and was easily caught. Rice and Bennett carried the score to 77, when the latter left, and 7 runs later his partner (after twenty minutes’ adjournment for rain) was bowled. Both men had hit well. Walford, Thompson, and Tam- sett each added double figures to the total, but Thorpe played better and was not got lid of until he had compiled 32, which included a 4 and eight 3’s. The score then was eight for 172. The remaining men did not do so well. Spurway and Docker made runs apace, and Mr. Smith put himself on to bowl. At length Lohmann bowled Spurway, and Mr. Smith was too much for Docker. (2-28 up.) The light was now becoming very bad, and the fast bowling of Mr. Smith could not be managed at all. When sixteen wickets had fallen for £41 “ Time ! was called, and the game was drawn, as it had only been arranged to play for two days. The Englishmen fielded well. Mr. Smith and Ulyett bowled with most success. The attendance was not large. Score N E X T IS SU E , JANUAEY 26.
