K IM B E R L E Y v. A R A B S. The match between these clubs, played at K im berley, on November 16,23, and 30, was re­ markable for some very high scoring. On the firit day, after getting the Arabs out for 189, K im berley had made 2Cfl for two wickets, of which C. Mills, the young Surrey cricketer, who is wintering in South A frica, had con ­ tributed 106 not out. On the second day Mills continued to bat in brilliant style, and when stumps were drawn he was still in having scored 247 out of a total of 568 for six wickets. N ine m en were put on to bowl, but he only gave one chance, and that a very difficult one to square leg when he had got 199. On resuming, after adding 13 he was caught at short slip, thus failing to reach the 300 by 3 runs. M ills’ 297 beats the best South African record by over 100 runs. K im berley’s total, too, is 113 higher than the previous best total in South A frica, its own 569 against D e Beers last season.' A r a b s , First Innings.

B elvidere having defeated Carlton aided by a little luck, they had next to face University and on the 16th ult. comm enced the match on the A ssociation ground, the wicket being good despite recent rains. The Varsity won the toss, and sent their opponents into the field, Ferris being absent. Samm y Jones, Tom Garrett, Hutton, Street, and the whole team went out in a melancholy procession after scoring each a few runs, w ith one exception, that of D , O. S. Jones, who made 62 in excellent style before succumbing to a fast one from Ferris. Jones is a young player, and throughout his innings made hardly a bad stroke. H e has lots of pluck and nerve, and bids fair to keep up his Grammar School reputation as a cricketer. The whole innings produced only 129 runs, Ferris being credited w ith 5 for 38. Belvi­ dere follow ed in a bad light, and sent in Charlie Richardson, who kept his w icket up, and a couple of the tail of the team , w ho lost theirs, two for 28 being the verdict. On the 23rd rain fell almost incessantly, but allowed Belvidere a few overs, during which they added a few runs, and lost no wickets. On the 30th the match was con­ tinued, and Belvidere showed what they could do. Charlie Richardson lost his wicket (hit on) for 29, but Harry Moses put up 54 by really good crioket, Crane and lre- dale 25 each, and Ferris 30, and Charlton 20 were the not out men. The total was 206 for seven wickets. The match resulted in an easy victory for Belvidere. In m y last report, I credited A lbert with 126 in their m atch against Sydney. On the 16th ult., the latter team put up 237 for eight wickets, Robinson being first w ith 57, M ackenzie not far behind with 45, Donnan not out 46. A lbert thus received a preper defeat. Am ong other scores to be m entioned on the 16th was that of W . Davies, w ho made 103 for his club, the Double Bay C.C., out of a total 242 for nine wickets. On the same day Walderson, for Ivanhoe, scored 136 run out, out of 209 for six wickets. On the 30th ult., Sydney played Carlton, the form er going to the wickets. The m atch was played on the Agricultural Ground, and the wicket was almost as bad as a ploughed field. M ac­ kenzie was clean bow led by Turner for 3, and 14 by little Syd. Gregory was the highest score. Turner’s average m ay be judged from the fact that in 96 balls he took seven wickets for 28, the whole score being 58. Carlton fared no better than Sydney. Alec Bannerman was bow led by Donnan for 4, Turner m ade3, and D ickins was run out for 15, as yet the highest score. Dave O^ilvie with 10 is not out, and there are two tail m en to go in to bring the score from 47 to 59 to w in the match. It will be finished on Saturday, and will be very close. W arw ick played Albert on the same day, and had Al. Gregory not made 66, the score would have been poor indeed. No one else did anything, aud the score totalled 124. F or two wickets Albert made 55. It m ay be a close thing either way. Am ongst other scores m ay be m entioned 220 for M arrickville against Verona, A ll the players but two made double figures. Pierce, the bowler of whom I wrote in m y last, made 51 for Oriental out of 133. Purcell, for St. Joseph’s College against Fort St. School, put together 160. His side made 264 for four wickets against 32 for Fort St. A m eeting of the N .S.W . Cricket Association was held on the 25th ult. to elect a Secretary vice Mr. Dave Gregory, whose official duties prevent his giving the necessary tim e to oricket. Mr. Porters was elected in his place, and a vote of thanks tendered to Mr. Gregory. A letter was received from the Queensland Cricket Association, stating they were afraid they would not be able to send a team to Sydey to play on the 14th of D ecem ber, as was previously proposed, and suggesting some other date in February or March. It was decided to inform the Q C.A. that it would be advisable to try and play on the 14th of December. The South Australian Cricketing Association wrote stating that if the N .S.W . C.A. sent a team to Adelaide this season, South Australia would return the \isit next Beason, the follow ing to be the term s:— The EXT ISSUE. FEBRUARY 27.
