The Inter-colonial match having been brought to a termination, so inglorious for this colony, we eat the leek with becoming grace, and did not grudge our southern brethren their hard-earned and well-deserved victory. On the day after the match, the two teams and their friends went to the JHawkes- bury river, the Rhine of Australia, for a pic­ nic. Under the careful management of Mr. Victor Cohen a special train had been pro- \ided, a special steamer to show us all the glories of the river, a special lunch, especially good, and a special sandbank for the boat to run on whilst homeward bound. This de’ay was of little consequence, for on board were several professional artistes, and that prince of raconteurs, Mr. Phil Robinson. Lunch was en regie from 11 to 5, speechifying was a matter of a few minutes only, and it was universally acknowledged to be the best cricket picnic ever given in Australia. On the following day a match was com­ menced between the Australian Eleven and combined New South Wales and Victoria. From the word “ g o ” it was a failure. Five of the combined team did not play in the Inter-colonial. Bruce and Horan had to go back to Melbourne, and every one naturally prophesied a tremendous licking for the com­ bined team. The Eleven went in first on a batsman’s wicket, and Turner and Bannerman knocked the bowling all over the field. With two such scores as 134 and 102 chances are inevitable, but both played genuine cricket, Bannerman of course playing “ the rock,” and losing his wicket quite at the end,when forcing the game. Ferris made 57 in fine form, and, with £0 sundries, the score totted up to 377. No one expected anything but a single innings defeat, and at first it looked as if the combined would not make 150 runs. Six wickets were down for 92, of which Moses had made 37; but at this point Walters and Morris came together and made a grand stand. At 6 o’clock Walters, in an hour and a half, had scored 96, and Morris something over 20. Next day Walters increased his score to 122, and Morris ran up to 32, seven wickets beiug down for 207. Walters’ innings was a treat. The pavilion cricketers were almost asleep when he began to score. The off-theory he treated with contempt, cutting everything for 4, and finally knocking Turner off by making 11 ruus in four balls. The innings closed for 298, thus saving the follow-on by one run. The Australian team in their second attempt played shocking cricket, except Ban­ nerman, Blackham, and Trott, who scored 55, 31, and 38 respectively. The innings pro­ duced 173 runs, and victory was thus rendered a possibility for the combined team. But rain fell; Turner had a wicket to suit his bowling, and took 5 wickets for 20 runs ; Walters and Garrett scored 14 and 13 respectively, Donnan and Cotter were absent, and 38 was the total, leaving the Australians an easy victory by 214 runs.
