New South Wales was commenced at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba, yester­ day (Easter Saturday). I send you a report of the day’s play, herewith. I have taken care to give the full initials of the New South Wales players, and have also given the bowling figures as they now stand. Of course, with Trumper, Noble, Gregory, Howell, Duff, HopkiDS, Kelly and Carter on the way to Eogland, tue Welshmen are not at full strength, but for all that their side is a very powerful one, as the names will show. It must not be forgotten that the Queensland team is not our best, Dr. R. Macdonald and W. T. Evans beiDg unable to play, aud 0. W. Cowley, J. J. Fitzgerald, and S. A. Schreiber being omitted, most unjustly the majority of cricketers think, by the selectors. The absence of Evans was keenly felt yesterday, for Chapman, who took his place as wicket-keeper, although he did good work during the greater part of the day, made several bad mistakes, and had at last to retire with his hands badly knocked about by Henry, whose pace was terrific. Jim Carew took Chapman’s place and marked his first appearance as a wicket-keeper in a big match by smartly catching M’Beth off Hoare. Hoare, who bowled so success­ fully for Queensland, is a slow bowler. He kept a splendid length but got very little aid from the wicket. What appeared to trouble the batsmen most was the deceptive flight of the ball. Henry bowled at a great pace, and the batsmen did not seem to like to face him at all. His figures do not give a fair estimate of his bowling, as he bowled a great number of splendid balls which the batsmen just managed to stop. His very fast yorker surprised the Welshmen. The ring gave Marsh a great cheer when the Welsh (?) aboriginal came in. Then another cheer went up, for the crowd wanted Henry to be put on. The Queensland captain looked at Henry, the latter grinned broadly and took off his hat to signify his willingness, and when the blackfellow took the ball the cheering became wilder than ever. But Marsti’s wicket did not fall, and Henry, having slowed down, was soon taken off. Of the other bowlers, E. R. Crouch bowled the best, his leg-break puzzling the bats­ men a good deal. Byrne, left-hand medium, although he did not get a wicket, bowled really well. ‘ 'Paddy” Carew (slow right) and Lewis (last medium right) sent down several good balls, but were far from their best. The “ stars” in the field were Henry and ‘ Jim” Carew. The number of runs each saved, must have been great, and the way they returned the ball was most delightful to watch. Henry’s two catches were splendid efforts, quite up to poor GeorgeLohmann’s best. 1 have spoken of the work of the Queenslanders first, for which, being a Queenslander myself, I may, perhaps, be forgiven. Well, now for the batting of the Light Blues. Of the earlier batsmen, only Charles Gregory and Evers shaped well, and of these, Gregory certainly showed the better form, his back play being particularly fine. Evers is a bitter. Hogue, of Maitland, making his first appearance for New South Wales, saved his side, and played steadily for 74, not out. He got valuable assistance from Howard. At one time it seemed that New South Wales would not reach 150, but the tail batted stubbornly; it is a long time since a crowd went away from a match in Brisbane in such heart as they did yesterday. Should Queensland win this game, cricket will go ahead rapidly here. It is just nine years since we won a first-class match, and curiously enough it was v. New South Wales, after the departure of the 1893 Australian Eleven, and further, Hoare was the chief factor of Queensland’s success, his figures in the first innings of New South Wales being, six wickets, twelve runs. I forgot to say that the two captains are brothers-in-law, Mrs. Patrick being sister to H. A. Evers. QUEENSLAND v. NEW SOUTH WALES. Begun at Brisbane on March 29. With the Australian X I. on the way to England when this match was com­ menced, New South Wales could not possibly be fully represented, but, never­ theless, a powerful side took the field, the only man new to interstate cricket being T. Hogue, of Maitland. Queens­ land were without Dr. R. Macdonald (on the way to England), and their wicket­ keeper, W. T. Evans (injured), besides one or two others. C. W. Patrick, who played for New South Wales in the early nineties, and Henry, an Aboriginal fast bowier, appeared for the first time. Evers winning the toss from Patrick, the Welch­ men batted first, but matters did not go too well with themuntil the appearance of Hogue. Going in with the score at 87 for five wickets, he remained until the close of play, scoring 74 not out in a little under three hours. Hoare kept a good length and bowled with success for Queensland, being well backed up by the field, especially Henry (who has no “ front name,” ) and J. Carew. The Queensland team is as follows: C. W. Patrick, J. Carew, P. S. Carew, W. Hoare, W. J. Lewis, Henry, E. R. Crouch, C. F. Morgan, H. W. Chapman, T. Byrne, and A. Atkins. N ew IJ octh W ales . C.
