T u rn er , of the Richmond Club, Mel­ bourne, and an old Inter-colonial cricketer, died suddenly on January 27, in Melbourne. T h e Melbourne Sporting Standard of February 14th gives a supplement with portraits of the members of the Eighth Australian team. E ast M e lb o u r n e scored 613 for eight wickets, against St. Kilda at Melbourne on February 11. Of this number Laver made 293 not oat. S.B. L ohmann , brother of the Surrey bowler has accepted an engagement with the Merion O.O. of Philadelphia for 1893. He sails on April 8 for New York. I n a match played in Hobart Town recently, the local umpire gave a batsman not out, on the ground that “ spasms of the art affected his sight, and he couldn’ t say out.” J. P h il l ip s , the Middlesex cricketer, scored 165, S. Morris 140, of a total of 542, for the Associated Players of Melbourne, against the Melbourne Club on February 11. T. M o r r is , the well-known Hertfordshire cricketer, has accepted an engagement with the Germantown C.C. of .Philadelphia, for the season of 1893. A m atch at Kimberley on February 11th, between the Eclectic and Pirates Clubs, was won by the former in the last over of the day. The lasr, ball got the tenth wicket, with the score 277 to 276. T he Orient steamer “ Orizaba,” which is to couvey tha members of the Eighth Australian Team to England, left Melbourne on Saturday. Bruce and Trumble sailed in the “ Ophir ” a fortnight earlier. CRICKET IN AUSTRALIA. I n t e r c o l o n ia l M a t c h e s . VICTORIA v. NEW SOUTH WALES. The Victorian eleven gained their second victory of the season over New South Wales at Sydney on January 31st, after live days’ play. Victoria batted first on a fine wicket and, curiously, the chief scorer wras the captain, Blackham, who went in last. Banner­ man and Gregory made 62 for the first wicket of New South Wales, but theearly form was not maintained,and at the end of an inningsVictoria had a lead of 70 runs. Bruce and Trott put on 114 for Victoria’s second wicket, when they went in again, but the former had considerable luck, being missed more then once. The best cricket on the side, indeed, was shown by Graham, and his 65 was a highly meritorious display of plucky and con­ fident batting. Going in for the fourth innings on a worn wicket, New South Wales fared very badly against the bowling of Trumble and M’ Leod. Bannerman played with his usual care for 46, but of the rest Iredale alone got double figures, and in the end V ic­ toria had won easily, with 232 runs to spare. Coningham, it will be seen, was most success­ ful with the ball for New South Wales. His all-round cricket was, in fact, one of the best features of the match. V ic t o r ia . First Innings. P.
