Australia. 46,908 persons paid for admission to the ground in the five days. The best attendance on record on the Melbourne Club Ground. Jan. 9— Melbourne, Melbourne C.O. v. Williamstown. MelbourneClub scored 687. Jan. 27—Sydney, Lord Sheffield's Team v. Australia. Abel carried his bat through the innings for former. He scored 132 out of 307. Jan. 23—Sydney, Victoria v. New South Wales. Victoria’s total of 370 is the largest made by an Australian team against New South Wales. Jan. —Sydney, Carlton v .------------ A. C. Bannerman carried his bat through Carlton's innings for 41 oat of 70. Jan. —On the South Melbourne ground a match was proceeding between North and South Melbourne. North Melbourne was batting, and A. E. Trott, for South Melbourne, was bowling, when one of his de­ liveries had a most extraordinary result. After the ball had left Trott’s hand it struck a swallow and killed it. The ball went on and the batsman played it. Feb. 6—Back Creek, Bendigo United v. Haroourt. United scored 605 for six wickets (G. Mackay 189, Angus Mackay 128, and G. Allday 125 not out). The runs were got in four hours. Feb. 6—Houghton, South Australia, Gilberton v. Houghton. The Gilber- tons lost their last five batsmen for nothing and Houghton won by one run. Feb. 11—Durban, English Team v. Eighteen of Durban. W. Chatterton carried his bat through former’s first innings for 38 out of 134. In the second he was also not out, having scored 22 of 34 for two wickets. Feb. 27—Port Elizabeth, English Team v. Eighteen of Eastern Province. W. Chatterton carried his bat through former's second innings for 40 out of 113. Feb. —Melbourne, Melbourne Club v. Essendon. Melbourne Club scored 823, B. M’Leod contributing 324. M'Leod was batting five hours and a half. The Melbourne total is the largest properly verified in any match in Australia. It only falls short by 98 of the 920 made by the Orleans Club against the Biclding Green ] Club at Rickling Green in August, 1 1882, absolutely the best authenti- j cated record in any match. M’Leod's j individual score has only been once beaten in Australia, by W. Bruce’s 328 (not out) for the Melbourne Club v. j Hotham in January, 1884. CRICKETERS-B est <GCB« Goods j City Depot - b e i r t h i s Mark.—Advt. G. G. BUSSEY & Co.,36, 1' ”en Victoria Street. near Mansion House Feb. —In a country match in Victoria a ball hit the bails and smashed them. No other bails being avalable, a piece of wattle was fixed up and placed in the groove. The wattle was not divided, but simply rested in one piece on the top of the stumps. The bowler suddenly sent the middle stump fiying out of the ground, and did not in the least degree disturb the piece of wattle. The umpire gave a not-out decision, on the ground that the bails were on. March 17—Cape Town, English Team v. Twenty-two of Up Country Club. English team closed their innings with the score 201 for two wickets. April 16—Melbourne, Carlton v. Metro­ politan. Carlton scored 346 in an hour and thirty-five minutes. Watling scored twenty from the only four balls he had. April 23—Nottingham, Castle Club v Buddington. C.W.Wright and Gunn going in for Castle with 117 to win, got them before Gunn was bowled. April 23—Eastwood v. Kimberley. J Carlin and S. Shaw made 147 for the first wicket of Easlwood. April 23—Putney, Putney Adult School v. St. Stephen’s Guild. Maynard got four wickets of latter with first four balls of the match. ------Cambridge,(Mass.)Harvard College v. Cambridge. J. W. Winkley took all ten wickets of Harvard for nineteen runs. May 7—Croydon, Croydon v. Mitcham. S. J. Ching did the hat trick. May 9—Lord’s, M.C.C. & G. v. Lancashire. W. Chatterton carried his bat through former’s first innings for 109 out of 238. May 14—Bochester, Bochester v. Roya Marines. E. F. Prall and F. M. Atkins scored 292 for former’s first wicket. May 18—Cambridge University v Gentlemen of England H. R. Bromley-Davenport scored 18 and 20, both not out, for the University. The latter was his fourth successive not out innings. May 21—Cobham, Thames Ditton v. Cobham. While W. H. Martin, son of the captain of the Cobham Eleven, was batting, he played a ball just beyond mid-oo. A dog, anxious to put himself in evidence, made for the ball, and before the fieldsman could get to it was away with his prize in hot haste to all parts of the ground. Meanwhile, the balsinen were making the best of such a rare op­ portunity, and twelve or thirteen runs had been got before K nine was compelled to disgorge his prey. But the question of the amount to be scored had to be settled. And the umpire solved the knotty point with the ruling that the b*ll was dead, and the result in the end was an allow­ ance of four runs. May 21—Badcliffe-on-Trent v. Notts Commercial. W. Ho gh took five wickets of the latter with successive balls.
