THIRD MATCH—v. ALL BARBADOS. On Tuesday, February 5, when this match was begun the heat was oppres­ sive, the temperature reaching 130 in the sun. The glare at first naturally had its effect on the fielding of the English team, and the Barbadians, who went in first, profited thereby. Cox and Learmond were the first batsmen, and at 20 Sewell missed the former, a serious mistake. Bush and Sewell who went on first made way for Bromley-Davenport, Barrett, and Lucas, but it was not till after lunch that Learmond was finely caught at mid-on. Cox soon followed, caught at cover-point for a well-played sixty-eight. Challoner, who succeeded, was given out 1 -b-w for three, and after some loose fielding Austin was caught in the slips, Goodman was bowled after making ten, but Browne and Cole offered a spirited resistance, raising the score to 325 before Cole was caught for an exceedingly well- played 67. McAulay played-on at 338, and then Alleyne and Browne played out time with the score 359 for seven wickets. On the following day the heat was greater than ever, and with the advan­ tage of a lot of mistakes iu the field the last three wickets added no less than 158 runs. Browne was at la'it caught in the long-field for a hard hit seventy-four. A l­ leyne jplayed well and carefully till he was had in the slips for a very sound eighty-four. Howell, the last man, did not stay long, Cocks being not out for a very fluky sixty-two. Lucas and Bush opened the batting of the English team to the bowling of Goodman and Somers-Cocks. At 58 Luoas was well caught by Cocks at short-leg, and then Berens and Bush took the score to 160 before the former was run out. Sewell was bowled by Goodman for six, and Bush, after com­ pleting his “ century,” was bowled, hav­ ing score! 101 out of 174. Barker was clean bowled by Goodman for two, and Barrett given out 1 -b-w almost imme­ diately afterwards. Priestley joined Davenport, and these two batsmen played out time. On resuming on the following day, it was not long before Goodman clean bow­ led Priestley, and got Davenport caught at "square leg, 250—8—33. Dawson rattled up thirty-five before he was bow­ led by Goodman, and Marshall helped to raise the total to 305. Dawson played a ball of Somers-Cocks’ into his wicket. Being over 200 runs behind, the visitors followed on with Dawson and Berens. At 90 Berens had for the second time the bad luck to get run out, and Bush joined Dawson. After a useful innings of 40, Bush was caught at short leg, and then, as in the previous day, three wickets fell quickly. Weatherby, however, stayed with Dawson and at the end of the day, the latter, who had been batting very care­ fully and well, was not out 78. On the following morning, after Weatherby’s dismissal, Bromley-Daven- port came in. Dawson completed his 100, while Davenport hit so freely that at the luncheon interval he was 87 not out. After lunch Davenport only added four, when he was secured by the wicket-keeper standing back. Barratt came next, and at 372 Somers-Coeks clean bowled Dawson. He had been batting six hours and a quarter for his 138, and had only given one chance, and that a hard one. Barratt was easily caught at short slip, and when Barker was caught at point the innings closed for 396. Requiring 18\Jto win, the Colonists opened their secondinnings withLearmond and Browne. With only 12 runs on the board, Learmond was caught by Barratt at mid-off. Challenor joined Browne, and a careful stand ensued. At 30 Barratt bowled instead of Davenport, but met with rough treatment, Browne lifting him clean out of the ground. Both bats­ men laid about them with vigour, till at 70, Sewell, who had gone on instead of Marshall, bowled Browne. He had again given a good exhibition of hard, clean hitting. Cole joined Challenor, and the pair soon brought up the 100. The former got his leg in the way, and with Challenor caught in the slips, the fourth day ended. On the following morning runs came slowly. Alleyne was caught in the slips, and ten runs later Cox was caught at the wicket. The end came quickly after this, and when Howell was given out l b w , b Bush, the Englishmen had won by 25 runs. Altogether 1373 runs were scored in the match for 39 wickets.

Dramatics.—On Tuesday week, the Granville (Lee) Club gave their annual dramatic entertainment at St. Mildred’s Hall, Burnt Ash, when Sydney Grundy’s comedy, A Pair o f Spectacles, was performed. The cast was as follows :—Mr. Benjamin Goldfinch, Mr. A. R. Layman; Uncle Gregory (his brother), Mr. L. R. Havers ; Percy (his son), Mr. W. Morris, ju n .; Dick (his nephew), Mr. Aubrey H. Hersee; Lorimer (his friend), Mr. W. J. R. Helder; Bar­ tholomew (his shoemaker), Mr. F. E. Glover; Joice, (his butler), Mr. J. A. Johnston; another shoemaker, Mr. F. G. Bull; Mrs. Goldfinch, Mrs. L. R. Havers ; Lucy Lorimer (Lorimer’s daughter), Miss Winifred Wiskin; Charlotte (a parlour­ maid), Miss E. Layman. Benjamin Goldfinch of Mr. Layman, was con­ sistently good throughout. The TIncle Gregory, “ the man from Sheffield,” of Mr. Havers, was not less a fine piece of character delineation. Mrs. Havers was delightfully natural as Mrs. Goldfinch. Miss Winifred Wiskin made a pretty and graceful Lucy, and Messrs W. Morris, Jun., and Aubrey H. Hersee were manly and effective as Percy and Dick. The incidental music was provided by Mr. C. J. M. Godfrey’s orchestra. NEXT ISSUE MARCH 28.
