Played at Port of Spain on February 15, 16 and 18. All West Indies won by three wickets. There w n enough excitement about the finish of this match to satisfy the most enthusiastic cricketer. The home team pulled the match out of the fire in the most plucky manner, after their chance of winning seemed absolutely hopeless. The game was productive of several good scores, but very few large ones. On the side of the victors, Stod'lart, Barratt and L igh acquitted them­ selves well, and Palairet played fine cricket in both innings. The West Indies had a lead of 36 on the first innings, chiefly owing to a very useful 75 by H. B. Austin, but they began so badly when they went in a second time to knock off 141 runs, that the Englishmen seemed certain to have a walk over. With the total at seven runs, largely composed of byes, three of the best wickets were down; another wicket fell at 12, and six men were out at 41. Then cime the stand of the match, Constantine and Clarke putting on 75 and bringing the total to 116. Constantine made most of the runs, while Clarke very steadily kept up his wicket. The game was still not over; in fact, the victors had a fair chance of winning. But the next man, MoAulay, stayed in with Clarke until the match was won, Clarke carrying his b it for a most useful 35. Stoddart bowled with great success during the early part of the innings. M r .
