NORTHERN INDIA. The second of the two fixtures at Allahabad was commenced on the 20th January, at the Alfred Park. Northern India, winning the toss, elected to bat, and sent in Messrs. Green­ way and Nicholson to the bowling of Messrs. Hornsby and Gibson. Hornsby opened to Nicholson, who hithis first ball for three, while Greenway dispatched the Jast of his over for a similar amount. In Gibson’s first over, Greenway had to retire lbw. 6—1—3. Fleming took the vacant place, and played out the over without scoring. Hornsby then bowled a maiden, but Fleming hit Gibson’s first ball to the boundary for 4. There was nothing more made off the remaining four balls. Hornsby was credited with another maiden. Gibson followed suit, but in Hornsby’s next Nicholson got his second ball away for 3. Gibson put down another maiden, but in Hornsby’s following over Fleming put a ball up gently to point (Walker) which was accepted, and he had to leave. 13—2—4. Mackenzie joined Nicholson, and commenced scoring immediately. An unfor­ tunate mistake in the running was the cause of Nicholson’s retirement, he being run out for a careful 16. 42—2—16. Quinton part­ nered Mackenzie, but shortly after his advent, and with only 7 runs added to the total, Mac­ kenzie w as out l.b.w. to Gibson for a fine innings of 22. 49—4—22. Home joined Quinton, who, however, was magnificently caught by Shand off a hard hit to leg off Hornsby. 63—5—4. Waterfield took the vacant place, but Home was out shortly after lbw to De Little for 10. 76—6—10. Cham­ pain joined Waterfield. With only 3 added to the score, Champain was clean bowled by Homsby. 79—7—0. Marsham partnered Waterfield, but did not stay long, for after playing a couple of maidens he was clean bowled by Hornsby without scoring. 81—8—0. Pereira joined Marsham, and the Behar men commenced immediately to score. With the score at 129 Shand relieved Gibson at the far end, and at 134 De Little went on at the pavilion end in place of Homsby. The change in the bowling seemed to make no difference to the batsmen, who went on scoring merrily, and it was not until they had put on 59 runs between them that Marsham gave a chance to Shand at square-leg off Hornsby, who had relieved De Little at the pavilion end. The next ball though he played in the same manner, and Shand was determined not to refuse a second time. Marsham had played well and freely for his 50, which in­ cluded seven 4’s, four 3’s, and the remainder doubles and singles. 140—9—50. Major Davidson joined Pereira, and helped to raise the score to 159, when Pereira was caught in the slips off Shand for 18, which included three fine hits for 4 each. After the usual interval the Englishmen sent Messrs. Walker and Lawson-Smith to represent them at the wicket against the bowling of Major Davidson and Waterfield. Davidson opened to Lawson-Smith, who hit his third ball to long-field-off for 4. Walker responded by hitting Waterfield’s second ball for 4, but he skied the fourth ball of the over, and was caught by Champain at long-field-on, close in. 8—1—4. Gibson took the vacant place, but without increasing the score Lawson-Smith was clean bowled by Water­ field. 8—2—4, Vernon joined Gibson, and between them played out time, treating the field to some good leather hunting, Vernon especially hitting with ease past the boun­ daries in all directions. At five o’clock the total had been raised to 64 for 2 wickets. On resuming the following morning, Messrs. Gibson and Vernon, the over­ night not-outs, had to face the bowling of Messrs, Waterfield and Pereira. In Pereira’s first over, Gibson made a single, but in the next, Waterfield’s, he was caught at square- leg by Major Davidson. 65—3—27, Philipson joined Vernon and commenced scoring immediately. Vernon was the next to retire, being caught by point off a bumpy one from Pereira which hit his hand first and then his chin, and bounded into point’s hands. 91-4-38. Vernon’s innings of 38 included seven fours, three threes, and a single. The innings was distinguished for free hitting. Homsby joined Philipson, but was clean bowled by Mackenzie before he had scored, 91-5-0. Leatham faced Philipson, who had been playing well, but on Leatham’s advent he put a ball up to point off Pereira, which was accepted and he had to retire for a fine innings of 21. 92—6—21. De Little joined Leatham, but the latter was the next to leave. With the score at 101, Goldney joined De Little, who was playing carefully, and between them carried the score to 133 before a separation was effected by Goldney being clean bowled by Mackenzie. Shand joined De Little and got Mackenzie away to leg to the boundary for 4, but before he had time to get into double figures he was clean bowled by Horne. 144—9—9. Curzon joined De Little, but after making a single he also fell to Horne. De Little, though, in the meanwhile had helped the score considerably, and the total was 154 when the innings closed, or 5 behind Northern India’s score. At this stage of the game tiffin was announced. At 2.40 the game was resumed, Northern India sending in captains Nicholson and Greenway to the bowling of Messrs. De Little and Hornsby. De Little opened to Nicholson, and with his second ball clean bowled him. 0—1—0. With the score at 5, De Little also bowled Greenway. 5—2—1. Fleming and Mackenzie took the vacant place, but the total had only reached 19, when Fleming was bowled by Hornsby for 8. 19—3—8. Quin­ ton joined Mackenzie, and gave a fine display of batting, while the fielding and bowling were equally well up to the mark. The total was taken to 58 before Mackenzie was caught by Leatham in the slips off Shand. 58—4— 32. Marsham here joined Quinton, who was playing steadily. Marsham soon opened out, and commenced in his usual style to hit the bowling all round the field. He made 25 in a very short time, and then retired, being caught in the slips off the slow bowler in attempting to pull a ball to long field on. 96—5—25. Horne joined Quinton, but, after making a couple of singles, was clean bowled by Leatham. 98—6—-2. Waterfield joined Quinton, who was, however, the next to leave, being clean bowled by De Little with a very fast one that he attempted to drive. 106—7— 23. Pereira joined Waterfield, and between them played out time, taking the total to 121— Waterfield, not out, 17, and Pereira not out, 4, Champain and Major Davidson to bat. The 22nd of January saw the finish of the match. Messrs. De Little and Homsby began the bowling, and scoring went on slowly until the total was eventually carried up to 170. Then a parting was effected by Pereira being lbw to Leatham, the slow bowler. Champain joined Waterfield, but skying a ball from square-leg, Goldney from behind the bowler ran round and made a magnificent catch. Major Davidson, the last man, partnered Waterfield, who had been playing a very free and fast game. With the score at 191 the innings came to a close, Waterfield being bowled by Hornsby for a fine innings of 58, which included eleven 4’s, three 2’s, and seven singles. The English team required 196 to win, and after the usual interval sent in Messrs. Walker and Vernon to the bowling of Messrs. Waterfield and Pereira. At tiffin time thescorewas 39without the loss of awicket, and after tiffin Messrs. Vernon and Walker treated the spectators to a specimen of really good cricket, hitting the ball to allparts of the field. It was not till the century had been passed that Vernon put a ball of Pereira’s up to cover- point (Fleming) who held it. 103—1—39. The captain had hit in his usual vigorous style. Gibson joinedWalker, but, after making 5 runs, was caught at square-leg (Davidson) off Water­ field. 116—2—5. Lawson-Smith took the vacant place, and the score gradually went up to 180, when he was caught in the slips. 18C~*3—15. Phjlipson partnered Walker, who EIGHTH MATCH—v. BOMBAY GYM­ KHANA.
