SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Diplomatic relations having happily been restored between the New South Wales and South Australian associations, on the subject of the latter’s claim to re­ ceive a share of the receipts at Sydney, eleven representatives of the two colonies met at Adelaide on December 16. Usually, intercolonial matches are begun on Friday, but in this case the New South Wales Association was so long in yielding to the claim of the South Aus­ tralians, that until the eleventh hour it was not known whether the New South Welshmen were going to Adelaide or not. Hence the match was begun on Satur­ day, December 16, and continued on the following Monday, Tuesday, and Wed­ nesday. The wicket was in splendid condition, and when Gregory lost the toss New South Wales prepared for a long outing. As it was, Howell’s bowling proved far too much for the South Aus­ tralian batsmen, and the result was a very disappointing display of batting. Half the wickets were down for 55, of which Clem Hill, who had been at the wicket an hour and twenty minutes for his runs, was responsible for 16. Eeedman, who played well for his 32, was the first batsman to offer any real resistance, and with a useful not out innings by Leak the total reached 155. Howell took five wickets for 52 runs. Altogether the out cricket of New South Wales was of the best, the fielding all round reaching a high standard. When their turn came to bat New South Wales were seen to very great advantage. McKenzie gave little trouble; but Donnan, Noble, Trumper, and Gregory made light of South Australia’s weak bowling. Unfortunately for the home eleven, too, their captain, J. Darling, was taken ill with influenza on the second night and unable to take further part in the match. Trumper was the first to reach three figures, and Noble had just reached his second hundred when he was given out l.b.w. like Trumper. The latter’s 165 was a brilliant innings with­ out a fault. Noble was batting four hours and three-quarters, and though there were three chances in the early part of the innings his second hundred was made without a mistake. Noble and Gregory had added 286 runs. The latter was eventually caught in the slips for 176, which had taken him five hours to complete. While Pye and Howell were in the record for an Inter­ colonial match (775) was passed, and before the innings closed the previous best for a first-class match in Australia, the 803 for nine wickets of Non-Smokers v. Smokers at Melbourne in 1887 was beaten. New South Wales had been altogether nine hours and three-quarters for their 807. The innings was memor­ able for another record. Three scores of a hundred have never baen made in the same innings iu a match between New South Wales and South Australia. Giffsn kept a wonderful length, and considering the long outing and the perfect wicket, his performance was remarkable. Jones was quite out of it.. His one wicket c >st 210 runs. In a minority of 652, South Australia followed on with Leak and Chinner. Hill helped the latter to add 70 for the second wicket, and 53 of the 114 made at the fall of the fourth wicket came from Hill’s bat. Butthe best st md for the innings was for the eighth wicket,. Eeedman, who again played very fin e cricket, found a useful partner in A. H. Jarvis, and the result was a useful addition of 103 runs for the partnership. In the end, New South Wales won b> an innings and 392 runs. Altogether, 1,222 runs were scored in the match. S outh A ustralia . J. J. Lyons, c and b Noble 0 b Pye ................... 11 F.
