SIXTH MATCH—v. LANCASHIRE. The Australian cricketers, after having con­ siderably the best of the first part of this match, begun at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Thursday, were beaten after an exciting finish by 23 runs, the first defeat of their tour. Mr. A. G. Steel was able to assist Lancashire, but the County in the absence of Robinson and Sugg could, certainly not be said to have had its full strength, Opportunity was taken to try the Rev. J. R. Napier, a fast bowler, who has been very successful in local cricket at Preston, and as will be seen with satisfactory results. The Lancashire captain winning the toss took the innings, but the wicket did not play as well as is usually the case at Old Trafford, and the batting was very disappointing. Mr. Hornby and Barlow were soon dismissed, and, indeed, the only batsmen who offered any resistance were Mr. Steel, Mr. Eccles, and Briggs. Turner and Ferris were again very success­ ful with the ball. They bowled unchanged, though the latter, who took eight of the ten wickets at a cost of only 41 runs, had very much the better figures. Jones, who opened the Australian batting with McDonnell, showed to great advantage. He wras in for over an hour and a half, and his thoroughly well got score of 57 was decidedly the best display of batting on the first day. The Aus­ tralians had a very useful lead of 65 runs on the first hands, and when on going in again Mr. Hornby was caught for 3, the chances of the County did not appear to be very rosy. Some steady cricket, however, by Mr. Steel and Barlow improved matters considerably, and when play ceased on the first night 40 was up with only one wicket down. The -Lancashire team were then 25 behind with nine wickets in, and on the following .morning Messrs. Steel and Eccles added fifty more, a stand which gave Lancashire the advantage for the first tim e in the m atch. Thanks to the excellent play of the two amateurs the score showed 90 runs at one time for the loss of only two wickets. A fter their separation,though,Turner’s bowling proved very effective, ana six bats­ men only a d d el 30. Mr. Napier’s resolute hitting at the close was of the greatest assist­ ance, and the last wicket added thirty-four runs, Mr. Napier being bowled for a vigorously hit and m ost serviceable score of thirty-seven. Turner was this tim e the more successful bowler. H e took six wickets for fifty-seven runs. The Australians when they went in a second tim e wanted 90 runs to win. Thirty of them were got before the second wicket fell, but none of the later batsmen could do any­ thing w ith the bow ling of Briggs and Mr. Napier, who bumped a good deal. Trott, in­ deed, proved to be the highest scorer with thirteen, and the innings, which only lasted an hour and twenty m inutes, only reached 66. Lancashire thus gained a highly creditable victory by 23 runs. There was great cheering at the finish and the supporters of the county were naturally very much elated at their success. L ancashire .
