M o n d ay , D ecem b er 5. The M.C.C. team travelled froir Parramatta to Richmond, away north of Sydney, on the Hawkesbury River. They tried conclusions with twenty-two district players, but there was barely time to finish in the two days allotted to the match. The wicket was not good, and the scores were consequently low. Deane, of the local team, was no-balled by the English umpire for throwing, but he quietly changed ends, and the local umpire counten­ anced his deliveries. Before the completion of the Englishmen’s second innings, the captain (Hon. M. B. Hawke) learnt of the death of his father, Lord Hawke. The Melbourne Cricket Club having signified their readiness to meet his wishes in any way, the English captain immediately left for Sydney. He took the overland express for Melbourne, so as to be able to catch the fast steamer, “ Ormuz.” He made himself very popular in the Colonies, and he will be missed by the public as well as by his comrades. Mr. W . W . Read is now captain of the team. The following were the scores at Hawkesbury:— M r . V ernon ’ s X I. First Innings. AtteweU, c P itt, b T.Deane 0 Mr. G. F. Vernon, c F itz­ gerald, b T.

E IG H T E E N OF MANLY AND OTHER CLUBS. W ednesday , D ecem ber 7. Before leaving New South Wales for Victoria a one-day match was played at Manly, a fashionable watering-place. The Englishmen tackled a combined eighteen of the Manly, Incogniti, Belvidere, and University clubs. At the express wish of the visitors, cocoanut matting was laid down to give them some practice before meeting some juniors in Vic­ toria on matting. The combined team went first to the wickets, and Barbour and Fairfax batted so well that at luncheon time the score was 83 for two wickets. After luncheon, Peel and Mr. Stoddart played sad havoc, and the whole team were out for 148. Mr. Stoddart and Bates were then partners, and the amateur was again given out leg before wicket, before he had scored. Bates, who was very lucky, hit vigorously until he had made 54, when he was stumped. He knocked three balls over the boundary. Abel played correctly, and Mr. Vernon scored freely. When the game was abandoned the Englishmen had five wickets down for 126. C om bined XVIII. Richardson, b BeauF.

E IGHT EEN M E L ­ BOURNE JUN IORS. F ir st D a y — S aturday , D ecem ber 10. On Thursday, December 8 , the Englishmen left Sydney for Melbourne, and on the follow­ ing Saturday reappeared on the M.C.C. Ground. Their opponents were eighteen representatives of the clubs playing for the Sports Depot Cup. They are only second-rate juniors, and as they play on cocoanut matting, to give them as much show as possible matting was laid down on a beautiful turf wicket. Mr. O’Brien, who had had a bad arm while the team was in New South Wales, took his place in the Eleven, and Attewell stood out for a rest. Mr. Vernon was skipper, and made a good beginning by winning the toss. A splendid wicketawaited Mr. Stoddart and Abel, and they made the most use of it. The Hampstead cricketer was in his best form, and very soon had the field at his mercy. He had only made 86 when he was missed in the long- field. After play had proceeded for seventy- five minutes the man went to luncheon, 90 runs then being the score. Mr. Stoddart con­ tinued to punish the bowling, while his com­ panion played his customary safe game. At 125 Abel made a wild hit at a full toss, and was snapped up at square-leg. Bates joined the amateur, and some lively play ensued, both batsmen scoring at a great rate. Bates sent one ball out of the playing ground, and then got out precisely in the same way as Abel. 2—38—199. The juniors were now fielding miserably, and the batsmen took full advan­ tage of the opportunity. There had been two hours and a quarter’s actual play when Bates left, the last 74 having been put on in loss than forty-five minutes. Mr, Read soon knocked up 37, but he is in by no means his best form yet, and was clean bowled. Just before his dismissal Mr. Stoddart was stumped off a no­ ball. (Three for 269). Peel, began badly, being missed three times—at square-leg twice and at short-leg once—before he had made 20 . 300 was the score at 5 o’clock. The batsmen during the last hour treated the spectators to some fine hitting. Mr. Stoddart had made 183 when he was badly missed at square-leg, and at six o’clock he was still in, the total then standing at 395 (Mr. Stoddart 223 and Peel 54). The display of the Juniors was decidedly disappointing, none of them fielding at all up to form. S econd D ay — M onday , D ecem ber 12. All the Juniors put in an appearance on Monday, and, considering that there seemed little further chance of having a h it, they started pluckily, fielding very much better than on the previous day. There were only about 100 spectators. Mr. Stoddart a nd Peel resumed their innings, and the score rose rapidly, Peel especially laying on the wood. He was not fated to reach the century, how ­ ever, for when just five runs off he lifte.i a ball to the long field, and had to leave ; 4—95 —485. The partnership had produced 215 runs in a trifle over two hours. Peel crave several chances to the fieldsmen. Mr. New­ ton was caught at the wicket, and Mr. ftio«l- dart, whose score was then 273, should have been easily caught by slip. Mr. O’Brien’s leg- hitting soon caused 26 to be placed opposite his name, and then he was bowled; six for 522. Mr. Stoddart’s time had now come, Parkinson, who went on late, bowling h im . Mr. Stoddart just touched the ball. The amateur played a magnificent in nin gs, although he gave half-a-dozen distinctcha i?es. There were only twenty-four 4’s in the long score, so that it will be seen that he was not NEXT ISSUE, FEBEUABY 23.
