The Englishmen lost two wickets in making the runs. Read and Mr. Sm ith both hit, the former scoring a 5 and seven 4’s. B allarat . First Innings. Second Innings. S. F.

E IG H T EE N OF BEND IGO . The English team left Melbourne for Sand­ hurst on Friday evening, Dec. 30, reaching there at a quarter-past eight. The match against eighteen of the Bendigo district was commenced on the following day, in sultry and oppressive weather. F ir s t D a y — S aturday , D e c . 31. An inspection of the wicket (which was a turf one) showed that whichever side obtained first use of it would make a long stay, and this opinion was amply justified, as throughout the whole day it played as true as a billiard table. Mr. Smith, winning the toss, sent in Mr. New­ ham and Preston. Both men were in form, and runs came apace. The Yorkshireman scored much the faster, and, in spite of several changes, the total had reached 77, when Mr. Newham was caught at the wicket for 28, very well made. Ulyett, who followed, soon began to hit, and with Preston added another 70, when the latter was clean bowled for a dashing 78. Briggs joined Ulyett, but after making 15, was clean bowled through playing a tame stroke. Three for 186. At this point it seemed probable that a very large score would be made. A rapid change, though, took place, as Mr. Docker, after making 7, was bowled, Ulyett run out for a brilliant 64, Mr. Smith very finely caught at leg-on, and Lohmann taken at the wicket, making seven down for 205. Read and Pilling now got together, and the bowlers suffered terribly. Both men hit very hard, and added 107 runs before Read was well caught at deep mid-off for 47, which in ­ cluded four 5’s. Mr. Brann was next, but soon lost the company of Pilling, who was grandly caught at square-leg, close to the fence. He had scored 67 by some very fine play. Pougher and Mr. Brann gave a lot of trouble, most of the runs being made by the amateur. The latter hit terrifically hard, and 71 runs were put on before a fine catch at mid-on dismissed Pougher for 15, the innings closing for 389 at 5.45, Mr. Brann not out 56. At 6.10 the Eighteen began batting, and at half-past six had lost one wicket for 10 runs. Between 400 and 500 visited the ground during the after­ noon. On Sunday (New Year’s Day) half the team were driven out about fifteen miles rabbit shooting, and some 200 were brought down by them. Many more would have been slaughtered, but the day was frightfully hot and exertion out of the question. S eco n d D ay — M onday , J a n . 2. The game was continued at half-past eleven, it being about 100 in the shade—too hot even for Colonials. The wicket was still good, but not quite so true as on the first day. The English bowling was frequently changed, and up till lunch time (half-past one) the local men had made 98 for the loss of eleven wickets, Edwards, who is an inter-colonial player, being not out 33. On recommencing after luncA runs came rapidly, till Edwards was out leg before, having played a very good innings for 63. After this the end soon came, and the venture closed for 165. Before the Bendigo men could start for their second attempt a dust storm swept over the ground, causing the players to stretch themselves flat on the turf to prevent being almost suffocated. This lasted fully ten minutes, when a sharp shower fell, after which play was continued, but after three wickets had fallen for 20 runs, a heavy thunderstorm again stopped the game for another half hour, when a fresh start was made. W ith the slippery ball the English bowlers had the worst of it, and although three more wickets fell (all from yorkers), the score was hit to 61, when rain again interfered, and the match was aban­ doned, drawn greatly in favour of the Eleven. This is the first drawn game since the first played with Parramatta on Nov. 4 and 5, and which was also prevented from being j)layed out through wet. Scores:— B en d igo E ig h t een . First Innings.

E IGHT EEN MELBOURNE JUN IORS. F irst D ay — F rida y , J anuary G. This match created much more interest in Melbourne than the previous fixtures between the M.C.C. Team and Eighteen Sports Depot Juniors. The Juniors this time were selected from the clubs playing for Boyle and Scott’s Cup. There are some men in this association who should be playing for senior teams, but want of encouragement keeps them back. The Eighteen chosen were strong all-round, and as the game was played on matting on their own ground at North Fitzroy, they were expected to sender a good account of themselves. They wanted to play six balls to the over, and as a compromise Mr. Sm ith agreed to five. He NEXT ISSUE, MARCH 29.
