Vernon, Read, and Co. travelled to Sale, the head centre of the Gippsland Lakes district. There js some magnificent scenery here, and the local magnates did their best to enable the Englishmen to enjoy it They were driven all over the place on Sat lrday, and being pro­ vided with guns and ammunition~had some capital sport, and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. On Dec. 19, in fine weather, they began a match against twenty-two of the dis­ trict. _The latter, although fortunate enough to get in first, batted miserably, and only one batsman reached double figures. Peel was in rare form, and came out with the remarkable average of fourteen for 16. The Englishmen drew lots for the order of batting, and the two young wicket-keepers drew 1 and ‘ 2 . They played carefully at first, and neither attempted to take undue liberties, as the fielding was above the average. Mr. Bowden was the first to open his shoulders, but before Mr. Newton had a chance his wicket was disturbed. At 68 Mr. Bowden left, and with 75 on Attewell was caught. Peel, Mr. O’Brien, Mr. Stoddart, and Mr. Read gave very little assistance to Abel, who was at the wickets a long time in compiling 20 , which included eighteen singles. Mr. Vernon h it splendidly towards the end, while Beaumont kept up his wicket. The amateur sent two balls over the chains, and several under, scoring 38 out of 41 while he was in. Eventually he skied a ball, which the wicket-keeper caught. The innings closed for 152. S econd Day— T uesday , D ece m b er 20. The Englishmen soon disposed of the Twenty-two for a second time. H. Allan and Treloar batted well when together; in fact, they and Watson were the only batsmen who showed more than mediocre form. As the game was finished early eleven local men allowed the visitors to have an exhibition innings. Although the fielding was good, the scoring was tremendously fast, and only eight wickets were lost for 245 runs. Mr. Newton was run out for 59, Mr. Stoddart caught in the long field for 52. The next to them were Mr. Read 45, Rawlin 16, and Bowden 12. The scores in the match were :— G ippsla n d T w enty -T w o . First Innings. Second Innings.

The Englishmen left Sale on Wednesday, Dec. 21, and reached Adelaide on the 23rd. Next day they began the return match with the strongest eleven South Australia could produce, including as it did three men who will probably be in the next Australian eleven. There were about 1,000 people present. Mr. Vernon won the toss from Giffen, and, as the wicket was perfect, of course decided that South Australia should field. The start was from some cause or another delayed until 2.30. Messrs. Read and Stoddart were the fir 3 t representatives for the Englishmen, Musgrave and Lyons bowling. From the start the scoring was rapid, and 30 went up in ten minutes. Lyons then gave way to Noel, off whose first over 11 runs came—Mr. Stoddart driving two for 4 each and 3 respectively, and Mr. Read putting one to leg for a quartette. G. Giffen displaced Musgrave, but the change had no effect, Giffen especially coming in for severe punishment. At length, with 91 on the board, Giffen found his way to Mr. Stod- dart’swicket. The Middlesex amateur batted excellently for 38. Abel followed, and after being missed by Jarvis at the wickets, was caught at slip off Giffen. (Two for 99). Peel joined Mr. Read, who was batting splendidly. The left-hander had to thank a bad return that he was not run out before he had scored. Soon after Peel’s advent Mr. Read might possibly have been caught close in at m id­ wicket but mid-on stood as if glued to the turf. The amateur then continued to pile on runs, especially on the on. He lifted Giffen to the boundary more than once, and twice pulled him to square-leg. When his score stood at 84, Musgrave at mid-on had a hard try to catch a low one, but was not soon enough. More rapid scoring soon brought the century opposite his name, a fact which was loudly applauded, as the Surrey amateur is im ­ mensely popular. The total was then only 162. Peel now began to score, and at 178 Lyons took the ball again. Seven came from the first over, but in the next the young Norwood player had an opportunity of catching Peel, who drove one hard back. This was refused. After two hours and a quarter’s play Mr. Read’s score stood at 125. He lifted Giffen to long-off, and should easily have been caught had not the fieldsman been at fault. Four came from the hit instead, bringing with it the second “ cen­ tury,” so that the scoring had been fast. Four runs later Peel lifted a ball over Lyons’ head, and Godfrey, deep out, made an easy catch. Mr. Newton fell an easy victim to Giffen, who effected a grand one-handed catch, letting in Mr. O’Brien. Now runs came faster than ever. Mr. O’Brien was more free even than Mr. Read, scoring off nearly everything. At 251 Lyons was relieved by Musgrave, and Mr. O’Brien got 3 for a pretty late cut. Mr. Read then lifted one from Giffen away towards the boundary, but Waldron, though he got it right into his hands, slipped on the asphalte bicycle track, and missed the chance. Mr.Read had then made 158. Soon afterwards stumps were drawn for the day, Mr. Read having scored 166 and Mr. O’Brien 33. The former, notwithstanding the chances mentioned, played a fine innings. His score included nineteen 4’s, half a dozen M SX m m M4BCS &
