[N ote .— T h e scores o f th ese tw o m atch es are as w e receiv ed them .] VICTORIA v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Played at Adelaide on November 11, 13, 14 and 15. Victoria won by an innings and 148 runs. Bad luck in the way of weather andwicket, and exceedingly bad fielding, were the main causes of the defeat of South Australia in this match. They did not do badly on the first day, which, after luncheon, was wet, but Saunders andCollins bowled very well indeed. Hack played a very steady innings. Hill was slower than he usually was in England this year, and Claxton was hardly at his best. But Pellew’s innings of 87 delighted the critics, many of whom said that he showed more promise than any young player since Clement Hill appeared in inter-colonial cricket. When the Victorians batted on the Monday the wicket had quite recovered, and as the bowling was weak, and the field seemed quite unable to hold catches, runs were made with ease. Warne and McAlister wore the bowling down, and then McAlister and Arm­ strong hit it all over the field. On the even­ ing of the Tuesday South Australia had lost four wickets in their second innings for 62, and the game only lasted an hour on the next morning. The wicket did not wear well. It may be added that Armstrong and McAllister raisedthe Victoria score from 166 to 357 for the fourth wicket. S outh A u stralia . First innings. Second innings.

The follow ing are the chief items in the report:— Financially—although the net result shows a loss of £332 8s. lid. it is satis­ factory to know that, thanks to the great success of the fancy fair and fete, which realised the handsome profit of £1,028, the club is now in a better position than it has been for many years past. The catering department has again shown a substantial profit, thus justifying the actions of the committee in taking it into their own hands. We regret to state that the gate receipts at the county ground in the ordinary county matches still compare unfavourably with those of other districts. The committee will be compelled to consider carefully the advisa­ bility of further reducing the number of matches played in Southampton, having regard to the much greater interest shown by the public of Portsmouth and Bournemouth, and the success which attended the experi­ ment of playing a match at Aldershot. To recognise in a fitting manner Dr. Ben- craft’s past services as hon. sec. it was decided to promote a subscription amongst the members of the club to present him with a testimonial, and it is gratifying to know that the gross receipts were £215 15s. 9d., which, after deducting expenses, enabled the Presentation Committee to hand over the sum of £202 5s. During the year various objects were pro­ moted for the club’s financial benefit—and the hearty thanks of the club are due to Mrs. Hnkins, Messrs. A. J. L. Hill, Ian Mac­ Donald, E. W . C. Fisher, Captain Gason, and the Committee of Management, as well as to all who worked so assiduously to make the Fancy Fair and Fete such a pronounced success; to the proprietor* of the Southern Daily Echo for promoting the “ Shilling Fund ” ; to the Chief Constable, officers and men of the Southampton Borough Police for organising a smoking concert; to Mr. Mouillot for the share of the proceeds of a performance at the Grand Theatre, South­ ampton ; to the ladies and gentlemen who assisted in the performance of “ Sally” ; to the Licensed Victuallers’ Association for their donation; and to those members who were good enough to augment their annual sub­ scriptions, as well as to all others who assisted pecuniarily or otherwise the aforementioned projects. The question of arrears in subscriptions and club’s rents is again a serious one, which we commend to the consideration of the members. The committee rely upon the continued
