A D a l z ie e ’ s telegram dated Philadelphia says : The proposed new rules of the game of cricket, framed by delegates now in session in this city from all the leading cricket clubs of America, are extremely radical in their con­ ception, and are based on the baseball system. A game of Cricket according to these new rules, must consist of six complete turns each side. The first turn or innings ends with the fall of the third wicket; the second turn on the fall of the sixth wicket; third turn, tenth wicket : fourth turn, thirteenth wicket; fifth, sixteenth wicket ; sixth, twentieth wicket; each side going in turn and turn about. Ten balls shall constitute an over. Several minor changes in existing rules are also suggested. LANCASHIRE COUNTY CLUB. F ix t u r e s fo r 1890. May 22—Lord’s, v. M.C.C. and Ground.

The forty-fourth International match, as above, was begun ou the Association Grounds at Sydney on Saturday, January 28. New South Wales, winning the toss, sent in Bannerman and Jones. The two batsmen made a splendid stand, and the total wai 156 before Jones was finey caught for |100. At the end of the first day New South Wales had made 232 for the loss of only four wickets. Resuming on January 27, the innings closed for 349, and when play ceased four wickets of Victoria were down for 101. On the third day 115 were added before the innings came to an end. Following on, 133 to the bad, the Victorians had made 126 of them for the loss of four batsmen; when stumps were drawn they were only 7 runs behind, with six wickets in hand. The only feature of the latter part of Victoria’s second innings, when the game was resumed on January 29, was the free hit­ ting of Worrall—of the last Australian team— who made 59 by very spirited crioket. The New South Welshmen were left with 105 to win, and though Bannerman was soon dismissed, Jones and Moses brought the total to 56 before the former was given out lbw, Donovan was then bowled by M’Leod, and when the same bowler got rid of Turner, Gregory, and Iredale in succession, there was great excitement, as Victoria seemed to have then a good look in. Garrett stayed with Moses, however, until rain stopped play for the day, with the total at 92, the latter then being not out 45. On the following day Moses and Garrett quickly knocked off the 13 runs still wanted, leaving New South Wales with the victory by four wickets. M’Leod got five of the six wickets down at a cost of only 30 runs, Eaoh Colony has now won 21 matches. y p v ' f t q c t ttt A P'RTT j 17
