Cricket 1890

450 CRIOKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. NOV. 27, 1890. NEW SOUTH WALES CRICKET ASSOCIATION. T he annual general m eeting was held at the Oxford H otel, Sydney, on the 10th ult, Mr. A ngus Cameron in the chair. T he annual report stated that “ the m atch against Victoria, on the Melbourne cricket ground, in December, resulted in a win for that colony by eight w ickets. The return m atch was won by New South Wales, thus equalising the wins of the tw o colonies. The m atch against South Australia, played in Sydney in February, was w on by N ew South W ales by nine wickets. A team of 15 from Queensland played in Sydney on February 28, March 1 and 4, and was defeated by an innings. The transfer of the conduct of intercolonial matches from the Melbourne Cricket Club back to the V ictorian Cricketers’ A ssociation was agreed to by this association, and consequently the matches of last season were managed by the respective associations. T he very moderate success which has attended the efforts of the seventh A us­ tralian Eleven will doubtless lead the various associations of Australia to com bine, and take steps to ensure Australian cricket being properly represented in future. The com ­ m ittee is negotiating for the visit of a Tas­ m anian team early in January. The apathy displayed by the public in supporting club cricket is to be deplored. These matches have been almost devoid of public interest for years, and steps should be taken to arrange matches which will engender keener interest on the part of the public. The funds are not in a flourishing condition, consequent upon the expenses incurred through having three representative teams in Sydney last season, and through the weather being bad on each occasion.” The balance sheet showed a debit balance of £226 16s. lid . The chairman m oved that the report and balance-sheet be adopted, and the m otion was agreed to un­ anim ously without discussion. Several pro­ posed alterations in the rules were brought forw ard, R ule2,relatingto office-bearers, being altered by the insertion of a provision for the election of a patron. In Rule 8 an alteration was made to allow of holding the annual gen­ eral meeting in September instead of October. Rule 11 was altered, m aking the quorum for a comm ittee m eeting five instead of seven. T he following office-bearers were elected:— Patron, Mr. F . H . Dangar ; president, Mr. G. H . R eid, M .L .A .; vice-presidents, Messrs. F. Adam s, J. Coates, H . M. Faithful, and R . T eece; hon. secretary, Mr. P ortus; hon. treasurer, Mr. V . Cohen. It was explained w ith regard to the debit balance that this was not the result of the operations of the y ea r; in fact, the season had been conducted at a profit of about £6. A t the adjourned meeting of the Asso­ ciation, held on the 13th ult., it was agreed that the first intercolonial cricket m atch with V ictoria this season should be comm enced on B oxing Day on the Melbourne Cricket Ground, B y that tim e all the m em ­ bers of the Seventh Australian Fleven, with the exception of D r. Barrett, and perhaps Jones, will have returned to their homes, and w ill be available for the match. The date of the South Australian match was fixed for D ecem ber 19, 20, and 22. This will not give the members any too m uch time to get back in town for the Melbourne match, and it should be rem embered that a long and dusty railway ride is not a good preparation for a big match. The Queensland Association asked for a m a tch ; but it was decided that, in consequence of the matches with V ictoria and South Australia, a match with Queensland could not be arranged. It seems a pity that the Queenslanders should be disappointed, as they very probably feel that, after visiting Sydney last season, they in a measure had a right to a match. Perhaps the Cricket Union m ight feel inclined to take up the matter. A m atch between the representatives of the U nion and Queensland would be a very inter­ esting contest.

A RM Y AND N AVY . A m atch between the above was played at Newlands on N ovem ber 1, ending in favour of the W estern Province by 19 runs on the first innings. H . H . Castens (the old Oxonian) and H earne made a good start for the Province, and put together the tw o largest scores in the innings. Afterwards a rot set in, and the re­ m ainder of the team were dispatched for a total of 106, the innings closing shortly before luncheon. The A rm y and N avy sent in Captain W right and Lieutenant Cox, but, w ith the exception of Dean, after th 6 Lieu­ tenant’s dismissal did very little, although the batting was fairly good, and the innings was up for 87. T he W estern Province went in a second tim e, and had made 105 for eight wickets when the game eame to an end. ira n k Hearne took five wickets in twelve overs for 13 runs. W estern P rovin ce .
