NINETEENTH OF THE TOUR. Played at Melbourne on February 22, 24. For the first time during the tour Mr. Robson was included in the team in a first-class match ; he kept wicket and did well. Barnes was still unable to play, and Gunn and Mr. Jessop were left out. From the Yictoria side Trumble was absent. On a good wicket the Victorians made an inglorious display, only two men managing to resist the bowling for any length of time. Of these, Warne carried bis bat through the innings, playing an entirely defensive game which might have done wonders for his side if he had found anyone to stay with him. Braund, with five wickets for 67, was the chief factor in the dismissal of the Australians for such a small score. Another splendid innings by Mr. Maclaren placed the visitors in a commanding position when stumps were drawn; he was out off the last ball of the day after batting for two hours and a quarter, and just reaching the hundred. He was well backed up by Mr. Jones and Quaife. Thanks to the fine display of these three men the total was 160 at the end of the day for the loss of two wickets. On the following morn­ ing it rained so persistently and so heavily that it was not possible to con tinue the game until four o’clock. The Englishmen increased their total 232 for five wickets, and thus, with a lead of 103 and half their wickets still in hand, they seemed to have a fine chance of winning On the next morning the wicket was fairly easy at first, and the Englishmen did pretty well, but by the time the Vic torians went in again it become so difficult that if the English ciptain had had any great bowler in his team they would have been hard put to it to make a total of a hundred. As it was, Stuckey greatly distinguished himself and others did well. V ictoria X I. First innings. J. Worrall, c Garnett, b B lythe................................. 15 T.

New South Wales gained a crtditable victory in this match played on the ground of the Melbourne Club, on December 26, 27, 29, and 30, by 42 runs. After a very advanced stage, Victoria who got a lead of 79 on the first innings seemed to have all the best of it. The tail of New South Wales however, played up very well in the second innings and altering the whole aspect of the match. Noble’s bowling too, had much to do with their success. He took ten wickets in the match at a cost of a little over eight runs apiece. The chief features on the Victorian side were the stand of McAlister and Armstrong in the first innings, and the bowling of Laver. McAlister’s 89 is his highest score in the match, and Armstrong’s 137 the highest ever made by a Victorian in the match. N ew S outh W ales . First innings. V . Trumper, b Armstrong 73 J. J.
