The English amateurs under Mr. Vernon’s command began a match against Eleven of the N orth-W est Provinces in the Alfred Park, Allahabad, on January 16. Mr. Vernon winning the toss, sent in Messrs. Walker and Law son-Sm ith to oppose the bowling of M ajor Davidson ana Mr. Waterfield. Mr. W alker was caught without scoring, ow ing to the bum py wicket, but Messrs. Lawson-Smith and Gibson both scored well, and the latter was not out until the total showed 139, having been in three hours fo r his 37. Mr. H ornsby hit freely, but no one else did much on the bumpy ground, and at the tenth w icket the score was only 153. The N orth- W est Provinces began batting with Messrs. N icholson and Stockley, and so badly did the earlier batsmen score against the bowling of Messrs. De L ittle a^d H ornsby that at the end of the first day four wickets were down for 10. The match was continued on the 17th of January. Messrs. Bateman-Ohampain and E lliot, the overnight not outs, faced the bow l­ ing of Messrs. H ornsby and Gibson, but with­ out adding anything to the total, Hornsby in iq S ov®r clcan bowled E lliott for a single. 19 5 1. Troup partnered Bateman-Cham- pain, but in the next over Gibson’s first ball clean bowled Champain, who tried to hit a straight ball to square-leg. H e had, however, increased his over-night score by a couple off Gibson. 21—6—5. H orne joined Troup, and the game became m ore lively, both batsmen punishing the loose balls, which, however, were few and far between. Troup got Gibson away for 5, and Dr. H om e punished one off Hornsby for the same amount. H orne was the next to retire, being clean bowled by H ornsby for a hard hit innings of 12. 44—7—12. Stevens took the vacant place, but was clean bowled by Hornsby the first ball he received, the ball breaking a great deal. 44—8—0. Major Davidson partnered Troup, who was playing in good form . M ajor Davidson got Gibson away past m id-wicket on, for four, and then retired, caught by Lawson-Sm ith at long field on from a skyer off H ornsby. 51 - 9—4. Baker joined Troup, but after making a couple was caught by Philipson the w icket­ keeper, in playing forw ard to a bum py one on the leg-stump. The innings closed for 60. As this was 93 behind the English score, N .-W .P. had therefore to follow on. A fter the usual interval Dr. H orne and Lieutenant Stockley went in to the bowling of H ornsby and Gibson. Hornsby opened to Horne, who hit his second ball grandly for six and his third for a single. Gibson’s first over produced a sin gle; the scoring then went on slowly but surely, till H orne enlivened the field by driving H ornsby straight for 4, Stockley responding with a hit off Gibson to long -fieldoff for a similar amount. W ith the score at 23 De Little went on at the far end in place of Gibson, and his first over produced 4 runs. Shand relieved Hornsby at the pavilion end, and his fourth ball Stockley hit nicely to leg for 4. In De Little’s next over H orne hit him hard to long-field on for 4, but in his following over he clean bowled Stockley with a very fast yorker for 9. 88—1— 9. A t this stage of the game there was a shout of tiffin, H orne being not out 29. A t 2.30, or after an hour’s interval, play was resumed. Troup joining Horne, there was some brisk £lay, Dr, H orne hitting freely while Troup played carefully, severely punishing any loose balls. W ith the score at 80 H ornsby got one past H orne and clean bowled him for a fine innings of 51. 80—2—51. W ater­ field partnered Troup, but did not stay, for after m aking a fine hit for three and a single, he was caught by Lawson-Sm ith at long-field on, off Hornsby. 86—3—4. Bateman-Cham- pain joined Troup, and immediately set to work to help the score, Troup playing in his usual steady way. Hornsby and Gibson shared the bow ling, the latter bowling a large number of maidens. W ith the score at 105 Troup had to retire clean bowled by Gibson for a careful 26. N icholson took the vacant place, and, following in Troup’s footsteps, played a m ost defensive game, leaving Cham- E ain, who was Iplaying in very free manner, itting the bowling about in all directions, to| do the scoring. W ith the score at 121, D e Little relieved Hornsby at the Pavilion end, and in his third over dismissed Cham­ pain, caught by Shand nicely at square-leg, for a good 36. 129 — 5 —36. Nickalls joined N icholson, but after a couple of big hits was clean bowled by a fast over from D e Little. 142 — 6 — 10. M ajor D avidson took the vacant place and slipped De Little for 5, and then succumbed to Gibson in the next over. 147 — 7 — 5. Baker joined Nicholson, who had been playing most carefully, and played out time, carrying the score to 155, Captain Nicholson not out 8, he having been over an hour com piling that score, and Baker not out 2. The game was resumed on the 18th of January, Capt. Nicholson and C. N. Baker, the overnight not outs, going to the wickets against the bowling of Msssrs. H ornsby and Gibson. W ithout increasing the over-night score Baker was out lbw to Ilornsby, in trying to put a straight ball to leg. Stevens took the vacant place, but after making a single was caught by Gibson at cover-point off H ornsby from a hard cut, the innings closing for 160, leaving Captain Nicholson, not out, 12. A fter the usual interval the Englishm en sent in Messrs. W alker and Lawson-Sm ith, to the bowling of Messrs. W aterfield and Horne. The first tw o overs were maidens, and in W aterfield’s third he found his way past Law son-Sm ith, and clean bowled him for 3. 11— 1— 3. Gibson joined W alker, who was scoring in his usual rapid style. Gibson was playing carefully, butW aterfield managed to get past him also, and bowled him for 5. 30— 2— 5. Vernon took Gibson’s place and comm enced imm ediately to help the score, but shortly after W alker had to retire caught by N ichol­ son at the wickets off Waterfield in playing forward to a bum py one on the leg-stump. 37— 3—21. Philipson joined Vernon, but after making a couple of twos was clean bowled by Nickalls. 46—4—4. H ornsby joined Vernon, but before he had scored Waterfield got one past him . 47—5—0. Leatham took the vacant place and got thefirst ball. W ater­ field bowled him away to leg for 5. Vernon then had to leave, being caught by M ajor Davidson at square-leg off Nickalls, through skying a ball to leg that he did not get proper hold of. 56—6—19. D e Little joined Leatham, who had not added anything more to the 5 he had scored off Waterfield, when he was bowled, 65—7—5. Goldney partnered De Little, and the required number of runs, 68, were hit off. D e Little, not out, 2, Goldney, not out, 1. Waterfield and Nickalls bowled in grand form , and the N .W .-P . team fielded up well.
