EIGHTEEN OF NORTHERN TASMANIA. L a u n c e sto n , M a r c h 10, 11, and 12. The game was played at Launceston, which is almost as picturesquely situated in the north of Tasmania as Hobart is in the south It boasts a nice cricket ground, rather small, and just such a one as hitters delight to get on. The English had the good fortune to go in first against the Northerners, whose team, in addition to Kendall, Gatehouse, G. Yautin, Eady, and M‘Allen, from the South, included George Bailey, who was a member of the first Australian team which visited England in 1878, and Claude Rock, of Cambridge Univer­ sity fame. Dr. Grace and Read were the first batsmen; Windsor, a colt, and Kendall, who was so successful at Hobart, bowling. This time the veteran did not come off, but one of the youngster’s medium pace ones got rid of Grace just when the veteran had got his eye in, and seemed set for a tall score. He batted in his best form, and took over half an hour to make his runs, the total when he left being only 35. So far Read had batted with care. He had a life with his total at 15 from Norman Rock. Bean shaped fairly well until a yorker found the weak spot in his armour. Mr. Stoddart opened with brilliance, starting his score with a fourer. The scoring now became faster, although it was now Mr. Stoddart who made the pace. Read was let off at point and again at slip. It was not until 179 was up that Read was caught at slip. Read was very slow at first, but afterwards he hit with a vengeance. Though at the start he only scored 35 out of 75, he afterwards justified his reputation as a hitter, and even with Stoddart well going, the Surrey man put on 60 out of 100. His 95 were made in 80 in 80 minutes. He gave three chances, but his hitting was hard and clean, and lie did not attempt anything sensational. He hit three 5’s and eight 4’s, Mr. Stoddart’s 47 were made as gracefully as ever, and with­ out a flaw. With his retirement four wickets were down for 190, and a very big score threatened. Wilson, who had now taken to bowling, had a run of good luck through, and one after the other five wickets fell before his arm. The first two were Read and Mr. Stoddart, and then in rapid succession he got rid of Mr. Radcliffe, Peel, and Mr. Philipson, the seventh wicket falling at 215. Then came another spell of brilliant play. The scoring was fast and furious. Lohmann was content with fourers, while little Briggs banged one clean out of the ground for 6. At 291 Lohmann was caught in the slips, after a brilliant innings. Mr. M’Gregor came in, and with 305 for eight wickets stumps were drawn for the day, Briggs 55 not out. On the second day Briggs and Attewell did some fine batting, and the total was taken to 400 in forty minutes before the innings closed. Briggs’ s 74 included one Gand nine 4’s. The fielding was very bad, and both Briggs and Attewell had a lot of luck. Wilson was the most successful bowler. Claude Rock, owing to a strain, could not bowl. The Tasmanians made a sorry show with the bat, and when stumps were drawn had eleven wickets down IN for 91 runs. C. Rock tipped his fourth ball into the wicket-keeper’s hands. Bailey was top- scorer. The veteran shaped patiently for his 25 without showing any of the dash which formerly characterised his play. The match nearly ended in a fiasco. The care taker of the ground foolishly watered and rolled it during the second night, sothat on the follow­ ing morning the wicket was much improved. The English Captain, naturally taking serious objection, refused to continue, and of course he had a perfect right to claim the game. Generous feelings, however, prevailed, and the Englishmen decided not to make the Tasmanians suffer for the ignorance of the caretaker. Grace, however, made no further attempt to win, as Mr. Philipson bowled nearly all the rest of the match. Still, the local men made a comparatively small show, Sidebottom alone showing any form. When they went in again Bailey did not reach double figures, but Sidebottom, Yautin, and Wilson batted freely, Vautin smacked seven 4’s and a 3. The total was six for 135 and the game was drawn. Thus concluded a pleasant and successful tour in the tight little island. L ord S h e f f ie l d s T e a m . Dr. W. G. Grace, c W. H. Savigny, b W indsor.................. 22 Read, c Eady, b H.

The severe weather for three hours on Monday reduced play practically, and as the game was limited to two days there was no chance of a definite finish. What cricket there was may fairly be considered satisfac­ tory, as some promising batting was shown for the Colts. Mr. A. O. Jones, lately of Bedford Grammar School, who comes from Radford, and C. Wilkinson, of Kimberley, created the best impression. The former, who, we may add, is going to Cambridge University, made his first score without a mistake, and showed considerable freedom as well as good defence. Wilkinson, who also came out well in the bowling, seems likely to be a useful all­ round player. The best all-round cricket on the side of the Eleven, who were without Shrewsbury, Sherwin, William Attewell, and Shacklock, was shown by Bagguley. In addition to a useful score of 40 not out he bowled with great success, taking in all fourteen wickets for 52 runs. He helped Mr. Wright to add over 50 runs for the last wicket.
