The com­ mittee approved of a proposal that with regard to future benefit matches the average nett gate of a certain class of match should be taken for a certain number of years—the committee fixing the number at five—and the Jbeneficiaire given the average of the amounts received. A proposal for Kent to exchange Bank Holiday matches with Essex for three years from 1901 was confirmed. Mr. William Hoare, of Sevenoaks, was elected president of the club in succession to Mr. Hardy. INTERCOLONIAL CRICKET. VICTORIA v. TASMANIA. Victoria won its twenty-fourth match with Tasmania, played on the Melbourne ground on January 26th, 28th, 29th and 30th, by 185 runs. The Tasmania eleven were without K. Burn, Gatehouse and Biogham. The best batting of the match was in the Victorians’ second innings, and at one time the score was 258 withonly two batsmen out. At the finish the wicket was soft owing to rain, and though the Tasmanians played a plucky uphill game the luck was altogether against them. Victoria has now won fifteen matches and Tasmania nine.

NEW SOUTH WALES. The sixty-fourth match between these colonies was commenced on the Sydney Association Ground on January 26th iu splendid weather and on an excellent wicket. New South Wales lost six of their best batsmen for 108. Gregory and Duff, added 113 for the seventh wicket. On the first night "Victoria had made 33 for the loss of four batsmen. The next morning (January28th) Trumble and Graham put on 113 before they were parted, and for the next wicket Laver and Stuckey added 100 in ninety-seven minutes. In the end the innings, which had lusted five hours, closed for 309, or 38 ahead. Pye and Kelly opened the second innings of New South Wales, and the former again failed to score, being caught off the third ball. On the third day (January 29th) New South Wales were batting all the time. Even then only five wickets fell, as when play ceased six wickets were down for 252, Noble being not out 97, Duff not out 7. On the following day the not outs added 104 before they were separate!. Noble was batting fivethours and twenty minutes without a chance. With 375 to win Vic­ toria. at the end of the fourth day, had made 98 for the loss of four batsmen. On January 31st Stuckey, Armstrong and Ross played up well. Noble’s bowling was, however, too much for the V ic­ torians, and eventually New South Wales won a well-contested match by 111 runs. The Sheffield Shield thus g >es to New South W»les, atter being held for two years by Victoria. N ew S ooth W ales F. A. Iredale, b Saunders .. 18 Y . Trumper, b Saunders . 31 M. A.

Played at Sydney on February 2, 3, 5, and6. The Australian Eleven won by 151 runs. This match was played fo r the benefit i f the Bushmen’s and P atriotic Fund, and was such a success that the profits exceeded £600. There was n o idea of com paring the merits o f the tw o teams, and as a matter o f fact several o f the Rest o f Australia were out o f practice, having given up the gam e for the season. A s far as the first innings o f each side was concerned the Sixteen show ed a slight superiority, bu t they w ere some­ what heavily handicapped when they had to g o in to make 357 to w in ; th ey made a g o od fight o f it, bu t the tail did not rise to the occasion. The tw o represen­ tatives o f Tasmania, C. J. E ad y and W indsor, did n ot d o themselves justice ; nor did M cB eth, w ho had m ade a bril­ liant debut as a bow ler in his first inter­ colonial match, cover him self w ith g lory . It is noticeable that the regular bow lers o f the Australian E leven were n o t very successful. N oble was in great form in both innings fo r the Australian E leven, while V ictor Trum per, G regory, H ill, and D arling kept up their reputation. A ustralian E leven . First innings.
