Cricket 1895

30 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. F eb . 28, 1895. CRICKET IN AUSTRALIA . NEW SOUTH WALES v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. The eighth intercolonial match between New South Wales and South Australia, begun on January 5th, was concluded on the 9th at Adelaide, the result being a win for South Australia by four wickets. When Garrett, the New South Wales captain, won the toss on Saturday, the 5th instant, from Giffen he decided to b a t; but although the score stood at 60 for the first wicket the total reached was only 192, Garret contributing 48. The South Australians had seven wickets down on the 7th for 129, but mainly owing to a fine not-out innings of 98 by A. H. Jarvis they were able to show a total of 270, which gave them a lead of 78 on the first innings. On the 8 th the New South Wales score in the second innings had reached 183 when the fifth wicket fell, but the batting was not so good at the finish, and the innings closed for 247, Moses making 77, top score in the match. The South Australians were thus set the task of scoring 170 runs to win, and began very badly, as they had three wickets down for 24 runs when the stumps were drawn. On the 9th at the start the bowlers still held the upper hand, as five wickets were down for 76 ; but the sixth put on 49 runs, and Blinman and .Darling becoming partners at 125 carried the total to 170, and won the match for South Australia, Blinman scoring 67. The notable feature of the game was undoubtedly the bowling of Giffen, who took 15 wickets for 186 runs, at an average of a little over 12 runs per wicket. Callaway and Howell did the bulk of the bowling for New South Wales, Callaway taking seven wickets for 146 runs, and Howell five for 138. N ew S outh W ale s . First Innings. F. A. Iredale, c F.

K e n n in g t o n P a r k C. C. held their 38th annual meeting at the Sports Club, on the 22nd Feb., when Mr. H. W. Price presided, many of the members having previously dined together in the guests’ room, kindly placed at their disposal by the Committee. The leading feature of the evening, was the resignation of the popular secretary, Mr. Owen d’Oyly Brooks, who after eleven years of ex­ cellent work, done for the club, felt obliged to relinquish the post in con­ sequence of impaired eyesight resulting from a rather severe attack of illness last summer. The retirement of so valuable a secretary as Mr. Brooks, has proved himself to be, was received with much regret, and was eluded to in feel­ ing terms by the chairman, and Mr. Augustus Browne. A resolution was unanimously passed testifying (to the valuable work done for the club, express­ ing their hearty appreciation of his efforts to their satisfaction that his health was likely to be fully restored. It will be good news to the members of the Club, who were not present at the meeting, that Mr. A. Nicholas, and Dr. W. J. Scott have consented to act as joint secretaries, and that they have been duly elected. Mr. O. d’Brooks, C. G. Hildyard, R. H . Foa, L. E. Grey Abney, were also elected on the com­ mittee. A full list of matches for the ensuing season was submitted to the meeting and a second professional bowler was engaged. A l d e h s g a t e C.C. — The fourteenth annual dinner of this flourishing club composed entirely of employees of Messrs. S. Maw, Son and Thompson), took place on Friday last, at the Holborn Restaur­ ant, under the chairmanship of Mr. C. T. Maw, faced by Mr. W. T. Maw. After the toast of “ The Firm,” the toast of “ The Club ” was next, in a neat speech, proposed by the Chairman, coupled with the name of Mr. Thos. Masters, the honorary secretary.
