TWENTY- TWO OF COUNTRY CLUBS. The Twenty-two in this match, played at Cape Town on March 17 and 18, were a very inferior lot, and the cricket was of little interest. Mr. Ferris and J. T. Hearne found no one to give them any trouble with the one exception of Rowan, and they bowled un­ changed throughout the inning3. Nor was the out cricket of the local players of a much better character. Though eleven bowlers were tried the score had reached 201 for the loss of only two wickets when the innings was closed. Chatterton and Alec Hearne made an excellent start for the first wicket and the former was still in with 105 to his credit when the Captain declared. In the second innings of the Twenty-two Martin and Pougher bowled, and with such success that the whole side were dismissed for the small total of 27. The English Team were thus left winners by an innings and 102 runs. M r . W. W. R e a d ’ s T e a m . A.

C ape T o w n , M arch 19th, 21st, and 22nd. The eleven which opposed the Englishmen was not as strong as it could have been, A. B. Tancred, the best all round player in South Africa, being absent among others. The Englishmen, who lost the toss, had to take the field, where they remained two hours and a half, Frank Hearne played well for his 33, and later on Cripps and Milton were seen to advantage. Otherwise little was done and, indeed, the three batsmen named were responsible for 63 out of 92 from the bat. The early part of the English innings, too, was not very promising, and on the fall of the sixth wicket the score was only 144. Subsequently, however, Wood hit in brilliant style, and with useful assistance from J. T. Hearne, who helped to put on 136 for the ninth wicket, the total was raised To 369 before the end came. Wood’s 134 not out was in every way a fine display of free cricket. He only gave one difficult chance to mid-off when he had made 98. This innings, coming at the time it did, was beyond praise, and a sum of £25 collected on the ground was divided between Chatterton, who received .£10, and him. Going in a second time, in a minority of 272, the South African Eleven began very badlj', having lost five of the best wickets for 48 by the end of the second day. On. the following morning the end soon came. Mills played very steadily for 21, but except for some free hitting by Milton, no one could do much with the bowling of Mr. Ferris, who bowled unchanged during the match. When the tenth wicket fell the score was 83, so that the Englishmen were left with an easy win by an innings and 189 runs. M r . W. W. R ead ’ s XI.
