The Australian team began their first match on the American continent under any­ thing but favourable conditions. A special train carried them direct on their arrival to the ground of the Belmont Club at Philadel­ phia. The “ Germanic,” indeed, reached its destination in the early morning of Sep­ tember 2lJ, and the team only reached the ground in time for an hour’ s practice before the commencement of the match. They lost the toss, too, and the Philadelphians took such full advantage of the spiritless bowling of their opponents, that at the end of the day they were still in, with 297 to their credit, and only four bitsmen out, The wicket was in perfect condition, and after some good play by Patterson and Wood, Bohlen and Noble knocked the worn-out bowling about to a merry tune. When play ceased, Bohlen was 83 and Noble 73, both not out, and only 14 more were added on the following morning, before Nobl9 was bowled. The partnership had added 180, and of these Noble had made 77 by very fine cricket. Bohlen continued to score freely all round, till at 353 he was had at point. His 118 was a fine display of free and attractive cricket, despite more than one life. Later on, Brown, Hals ton, and King all hit freely, and when the last-named was caught the innings was over. It had lasted six hours and fifty minutes, so that runs were made at the very high average of 90 an hour. 'Ihe Austialians had an hour and ten minutes left for batting, and in that time made 125 for four wickets, of which G. Gillen’s share was 60 (not out). Being 326 behind at the end of an innings, they had to follow on, which they did,with slightly better results. The chief feature of the batting this time wai the defensive cricket of Bannerman, He carried his bat through the innings, which lasted three hours and a half, and without anything like a mistake. In the end the Philadelphians won by an in n iD g s and 68 rum. P h il a d e l p h ia . Mr. G.Patterson.run out ...........................56 Mr. R. D.

In this match, played on October 4 and 5, the Australians had all the best of a drawn game. The Eighteen, who went in first, were all dismissed for 101, of which A. H. Stratford, an old Middle­ sex cricketer, made 25. The majority of them could do nothing with the bowling of Trumble,who took ten wickets at a cost of just over four runs apiece. Trumble was, after G. Giffen, the most successful batsman on the Australian side, and this pair were responsible for 120 of 201 from the bat. In spite of some good cricket by M. R. Cobb, theEighteen were still 19 behind with only five wickets to fall when the game was given up. N ew Y ork . First Innings. Mr. A.F.Patterson, run out' Mr. A.

Owing to rain the wicket was in a very different condition to that of the previous match, and this time the bowlers were able to do so much with the ball that the match was not of very long duration. Bohlen again dis­ tinguished himself with the bat for the Philadelphians. He scored 89 for once out, and his three innings against the Australians realised an aggregate of 2C6, a very fine performance. Thanks chiefly to George Giffen. the Australian team were able to get a lead of 34 on the first innings, and they finally won with six wickets to spare. P h il a d e l p h ia . First Innings. Mr. G.

FOURTH MATCH—v. MASSACHUSETTS. Another easy victory greeted the Australian team in this match, played at Boston, on October 11th and 12th. The local Eighteen could do nothing, with the bowling of George Giffen and Trott in thh match, and the easy victory of the Austra­ lians was greatly due to their joint efforts. On the first day the local players was dis­ missed for 88, Giffen taking seven, and Trott eight wickets. On October 12th, G. H. S.Trott and G. Giffen bowled with even greater success than on the previous day, and the former accomplished the rare feat of securing ten wickets for 5 runs, making his analysis for the match eighteen wickets for 25 runs. The home team had hoped to make a much better stand. They still had seven of the best bats of the team to be disposed of. They could do nothing, however, with the effective bowling, and only 14 runs were
