In marked contrast to the match above, the Inter-Colonial, between New South Wales and South Australia, began on Feb. 28, at Sydney, gave rise to some very high run getting. South Australia, who went in first, were not dismissed until four hundred had been scored. At the end of the first day they had scored 326, of which J. Darling and Hill had put on 169 while together. Hill was not out 166 and when the innings closed he was still in, having made 206 out of 356 scored while he was at the wickets. It was a very fine display, without a chance of any sort. Kelly kept wicket well during the long innings and the only extras were two leg-byes. McKenzie and Donnan made a good start for New South Wales, scoring 82 for the first wicket. Iredale also batted well and when play ceased on Feb. 29, the score was 206 for five wickets. On the following Monday, Iredale continued to play fine cricket till he fell at last to a fine catch. He had made 187 the very best style and by faultless batting. Ultimately the innings closed for 428, or twenty-eight ahead. At the end of the day South Australia were 121 on, having lost three wickets in their second innings. On the following day, Turner bowled with great effect, so much so, that the seven remain­ ing batsmen between them only added 101, bringing the aggregate to 200. Giffen, it may be stated, was not at all well and ran with great difficulty. With 173 to win New South Wales sent in McKenzie and Donnan, as before, and again the two batsmen played well. McKenzie was run out after making twenty, and when stumps were drawn 103 had been made for the loss of only one wicket. Iredale and Donnan being not out, 70 runs were still wanting, for New South Wales to win. The last Australian mail, however did not bring the game any further, so that we are unable to give the complete score. Score and analysis:— S outh A ustralia . First Innings. Second Innings. J. J.
