Played at Melbourne on Jan. 22 and 23. Tasmania won by 72 runs. For their victory over a weak Victoria team the Tasmanians have chit fly to thank C. J. Eady, who, on a wicket that had been rendered difficult by rain, proved altogether too good for the bats­ men opposed to him. The Tasmanians batted well in both innings; .in the first they had to play on a queer wicket. Kenny Burn played splendid cricket for T asmania . First inniDgs. C. J.

YICTORIA v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA (Return). Played at Melbourne on Feb. 11,12, 14 and 15. Yictoria won by 26 runs. Much of the interest in this match was taken away when it was found that Giffen would not represent South Australia, on account of a disagreement with the committee as to the remuneration to be given. On a slow wicket Trott, who won the toss according to custom, sent his men in, and the result of the first day’s play more than gratified him in doing this. During part of the day, bowling was an unpleasant occupation owing to adrizzling rain, and as Lyons who captained the South Australians, had very little of it at his com m an d th e Y ictoria n s h a d m atters all th eir ow n w a y , d espite th e fa c t th a t a w aterp ip e h a d bu rst at on e en d o f the w ick et a few days b efore the m atch , and h ad run its cou rse triu m p h a n tly fo r a lo n g tim e b e fo re th e accid en t w as d is­ covered .

SOUTH AUSTRALIA v. NEW SOUTH WALES (Return). Played at Sydney on Feb. 18, 19, 21 and 22. South Australia won by 285 runs. Although Hill was dismissed without scoring in the first innings of South Aus­ tralia, Darling, Reedman, and a few others of the team were in good form, and the total was fairly good. It was only beaten by New South Wales by
