On Saturday, February 1st, the English cricketers started the eighth match of their tour, their opponents being twenty- two of Graham’s Town and district. The matting pitch was excellent at the com­ mencement, but wore badly afterwards. The weather opened fine but clouded over, and the light later in the day was very bad. The attendance was very good after lunch. The sensational bowling of Davenport, Lohmann, and Woods, furnished the leading feature of the day’s play. The local men batted first and made 73 for fourteen wickets by lunch' time, but the remaining seven men only added 16 runs. The English batting was only relieved from mediocrity by the per­ formance of Fry, who, going in at the fall of the second wicket made 51 by splendid cricket, and he was not out when the innings closed for 110. Graham’s Town had half-an-hour at the wickets and during that time lost three wickets for 26 runs. On the following Monday the game ended in a draw slightly in favour of the Colonists, who showed vastly improved batting form in the continuation of their second innings. Copeland batting in very good style. Stone also displayed strong defence. In the English second innings Hayward, during his stay at the wickets showed that the bowling could be easily hit, but except Davenport, the remainder were very disappointing. When stumps were drawn at six o’clock, the visitors required 55 runs to avert a defeat and only three wickets remaining. Score and analysis:— G raham ’ s T own . First Innings. Second Innings.

CR ICK ET IN AU STR A L IA . NEW SOUTH WALES v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Though New South Wales were again without Turner and Gregory for the Intercolonial match with South Australia, begun at Adelaide on January 3rd, they had the easiest possible win. Going in first, Donnan and Mackenzie made another good start for New South Wales, putting on this time 99 for the first wicket. This amount was almost equalled by the last two batsmen, Garrett and Howell, who added 84. Garrett got his 54 in just under the hour by brilliant hitting. Jones, the South Australian fast bowler, took seven wickets for 103, and Reedman caught four batsmen at mid-off. But for George Giffen, South Australia would have made a poor show. Two hours and a quarter at the wickets, he scored 74—exactly half the total from the bat—without a mistake. In the follow on South Australia were even less suc­ cessful. This time Giffen was bowled without scoring, and Darling was the only batsman to get over 30. New South Wales won by an innings and 34 runs. Score and analysis :— N ew S outh W ales . H.
