T H IR T IE T H M A T C H —v. L IV E R P O O L AN D D IS T R IC T . T h e com m ittee o f the L iv erp ool C lub had succeeded in collectin g a fairly strong side to opp ose the A ustralian team on the A igburth grou n d at th e e d o f last w eek. On the other hand, w ith th e E ngland m a tch at the O val ju st ahead o f them , th e A ustralians deem ed it advis­ able to give som e o f their b est players a rest. W ith this view , G raham , T rum ble, and Turner w ere excused, and p laces w ere fou n d instead fo r C oningham , Jarvis, and W a ter G iffen. A s it happened, a severe th understorm caused the w icket to b e all in fa vou r o f the bow lers, and C oningham and M cL eod w ere qu ite able, as events proved, to dism iss the lo ca l team tw ice cheaply, liefore the storm on T hursday th e A ustralians w ere able to pu t on 67 fo r tw o w ickets, chiefly through the g ood crick et o f B annerm an and G . G iffen. Subsequently, T ro tt and B ruce h it vigorously, and these tw o added 52 in less than h a lf an hour. T rott w as in on ly an hour and forty m inu tes fo r his 56, w hich in clu ded one h it ou t of the ground fo r six. T ow ard s the finish C oningham gave the L iverp ool bow lers serious t ou ble, and he u lti­ m ately carried ou t his b a t fo r a very usefu l score o f 23. L iverp ool, w ho had m ade five runs fo r the loss o f one batsm an in th e few m inutes that rem ained on T hursday night, h a d to b a t under great disadvantages on th e follow in g day. T he m a jority o f the batsm en fou n d M cL eod and C oningham , w ith the w icket to help them , very difficult T he tw o bow lers, indeed, did a rem ark­ able perform ance,keepin g up th eir ends throughout both innings o f L iverpool. In th e first H .B . Steel hit w ith resolution, and his score o f 31 w as the highest on th e side. A G . S teel Stubbs, Sm ith, and K em ble shaped fairly w ell in the second. St 11 the resu lt w as never in dou bt, and in the end the A ustralians w ere left w ith a very decisive victory by an innings and 31 runs. T h e bow lin g figures of M cL eod and C oningham w ill w ell repay perusal. T h e form er took ten w ickets fo r 56, the latter nine for 100 runs. A u str a l ia n s . M r. J. J.

U nder the very best possible conditions the second o f th e three test m atches in w hich the A ustralian team have to oppose E ngland was began on M onday and finished je ste rd a y a t the Oval. A lw ays attractive o f them selves, the m ost recent o f these contests w as invested w ith special and additional interest, from the fa ct that the Surrey C om m ittee had decided to give the whole of th eir share o f their gate to M aurice Read, in appreciation o f th e excellent service he had rendered to the cou n ty for m any years. W ith the exception o f the absence o f W ainw right, w hom the Yorkshire com m ittee, in contravention o f the agreem ent at the m eeting o f C ounty Secre­ taries in D ecem ter, refu sed to let off, the side, as originally chosen by the Surrey executive, took the field. On W ain w righ t’s w ithdraw al, F low ers w as chosen, tu t though he w as on the ground at the start he was n ot w ell enough to play, and w . W . R ead took his place. As the w icket was in th e best possible con dition , the toss w as o f som e im portance, and for the second tim e lu ck favoured th e E nglish captain. Ju9t at the outset, the p itch , ow ing n o dou bt to the dew, helped the bow ler a bit, and Stoddart, w ho Vegan the batting w ith W .G., h ad no sm all share of luck, being let off m ore than once— on one occasion rather badly at point. W .G ., on th e other hand, played with great confidence, and w hen the tw o batem en got set, runs cam e fast. A t luncneon tim e, after tw o hours, the score w as 131 for n o w icket, and seventeen m ore were added before Stoddart, w h o had previously been badly m issed in the slips, played on. A t the sam e total (151 ) W .G . w as caught, Shrew sbury having m eanwhile taken Stoddart’s place. O f the tw o displays, W .G .’s was th e better, and as far as we cou ld see his innings, w h ich had lasted tw o hours and twenty m inutes w as free from a chance. G unn helped the score to 200 before he was bowled, and then Shrew sbury aud W ard m ade another stand, adding 103 before the form er, w ho had m ade no m istake, was caught in th e long-field. E igh t runs later a splendid catch off his ow n bowling by G iffen dism issed Ward, who had been in an hour and forty m inu tes for a fau ltless score o f 55. B y this tim e tbe A ustralian bow lers, in the extrem e heat, had been fairly done up, and Jackson and R ead in the last fifty m in u tes on M onday added 67 runs. O n Tuesday m orn in g the not ou ts added 64, and then R ead, w h o had after the first few overs played in his very best form , w as bowled. Giffen also dism issed Briggs, L ock w ood , and M cG regor, and just after h e had got his hundred Jackson w as run out, brin ging th e innings, w h ich had lasted close on seven hours, to a close. Jackson ’s 103 w as a m ost brilliant display o f confident and attractive cricket. H e hit all round w ith equal pow er, and, as far as w e could see, there was on ly one ch an ce in a very fine perform ance. After their long outing the batting o f the Australians w as very disappointing. L yon s and B annerm an put on thirty for th e first w icket, but after their separation L ock w ood and Briggs carried every­ thing before them , and it w as on ly the free cricket o f B lackham ,w ho helped to add 32 for the last w icket, that enabled them to reach the sm all total o f 91. F ol'ow in g on in a m inority o f 392 the Australians show ed to very different effect. This tim e B ruce opened the batting w ith B annerm an, and 54 were up before the latter w as caught. Bannerm an, w ho played m u ch m ore freely than is h is w ont, w as ou t at 126. and then T rott and G iffen played ou t tim e, bringing the total to 158 for tw o w ickets, w hen p’ay ceased on T uesday night. W’ ith an addition o f only eight, G iffen was bow led by L ock w ood yesterday, and G regory, w ho follow ed, was had at poin t eight run s later. Trott, however, found in G raham a partn er after his ow n heart, and in an hour and ten m inutes the score w as increased by 103 runs. Then Graham , w ho had played exceedingly w ell for his 42, w as bow led by BrigRs, and 16 runs later T rott’s fi tie innings w as brou gh t to a close by a catch at m id-on. H e had been in for tw o hours and a quarter,and w ith on ly one rather hard ch an ce when he had got 80. T o excellent defence, he added at tim es pow erful hitting, and altogether his 92 was an excep tion ally fine display of batting. L yons hit up 31, in clu din g tw o fine hits, on e on to the ro o f o f the pavilion, and was then neatly taken at extra m id-off. A fter his dism issal the end soon cam e, and as th e last three w ickets only added 9 the gam e was qu ickly finished off, leaving E ngland w ith a decisive victory by an innings and 4 3 runs. B riggs bow led w ith great success at the finish. H e took five w ickets in the secon d inn­ ings o f the Australians for 34 runs. It w ill interest his m any friends to know that the m atch w ill realise a goodly sum for M aurice R ead. On the first day 12,720 paid a shilling, on the secon d 13,061, and on the third 2,471, m aking a total o f 28.252. O f the gate the A ustralians take one h alf, but as the su bscription list is large there is every reason to believe that Read will profit to an extent considerably over one thousand pounds.
