N.S.W. This match is to begin on the 12th, two days after my letter leaves Sydney, and we shall probably be represented by the follow­ ing:—A. Bannerman, Jones, Turner, Ferris, M*Donnell, Garrett, Moses, Charlton,Donnan, M'Kenzie, Davis, Searle, and C. Richardson. This is a strong team, and will take a lot of beating, especially when we consider that Victoria is so short of bowlers. But it is always the unexpected that happens in cricket. The match is to be played against a team selected by M.C.C , and most of the prominent Victorian players have promised to assist. On the other hand, the Victorian Association has induced the other clubs to boycott the M.C.C., and thus we have a very pretty com­ plication. The history of the dispute is as follows. Victoria and N.S.W . first played a match a year; then the Victorian Asso­ ciation was so poor it could not send us a team, and so we went to Melbourne two years running, on the understanding that Victoria should play us later in the same season. For years the two yearly matches were played, and then Victorian cricket died and was buried, or nearly so, and the only hope seemed to lie in playing South Australia, Tasmania, and West Australia. The Victo­ rian Association issued an edict at a conference (N.S.W. protesting) that only one match a year should be played. We refused. Victoria insisted. We sent down Mr. Gibson as a delegate; further insisting and refusing, with the addition of an unofficial suggestion that an arrangement might be made if we would pledge ourselves to play one match a year, beginning with the season 1891-92. To this Mr. Gibson could not bind his committee, and he returned. Then M.C.C. stepped into the breach : Major Wardill came to Sydney, and an arrangement was made to play M.C.C. and N.S.W. for five years, the Victorian club having the right to hand over the contract to anyone else approved by N S.W. The Melbourne players agreed with M.C.C. : the Australian Eleven “ slated” the Victorian Association, and at the last minute this body officially made us the same offer as was unofficially suggested to Mr. Gibson. We referred them to M.C.C., and at that point we stand now. The Victo­ rian Association must give way, and they may as well do it gracefully ; but I suppose they will make a fight of it this season at any rate. Those who live will see. The following is the score of this match up to the end of the second day (Jan. 12). V ictoria . First Innings. J. M’llwraith, run out 5 J.D.Edwards,cMoses, b Charlton .........50 H.

In a recent letter I mentioned the commence­ ment of a match between these two clubs* University made the very respectable score of 177, and Belvidere had made 49 for one wicket. Last Saturday the match was concluded by Belvidere compiling 266, the last wicket falling just on time. Harry Moses played good cricket for 34, and Fairfax hit wonderfully for 46. Ferris at the close of the innings made 42 (not out), but the best score was that of W. Richardson, whose 66 wts one of the best exhibitions we have seen this season. He played all the bowling with ease, being even­ tually run out. The bowlers were all badly treated. Powell took four wickets for 42, but Garrett only secured one for 79, the worst average of all.
