Cricket 1891

SEPT. 24, 1891 CRICKETs A WEEKLY BECORD OF THE GAME* 445 Dr. Barrett took some interest in watching the football matches during last winter. TheAssociationgame struck him as being clever, but was not equal to the Victorian game for variety. The Rugby game was also not sogood, from a specta­ cular point of view, as theVictorian game, but he had been assured by Mr. Stoddart, one of themembers ofthevisiting English team of cricketers, that this game was more enjoyable to play in allowing every man anopportunityof distinguishinghim­ self in trying for goal. Dr. Barrett has determined to settle down in South Melbourne as an assistant to his father. CURIOSITIES OF 1891 . (From C r icket .) January 1—Melbourne, Victoria v. South Australia.
