M .C.C. won by two wickets. After a good start, Auckland collapsed badly and were all out for 127. The M.C.C. also did moderately for a time, but Douglas and Simpson-Hayward, by adding 93 for the seventh wicket, quite pulled the game round. The feature of the second innings of the home side was the batting of MacCormick and Brook-Smith, who put on 100 together after six wickets had fallen for 122. Set 155 to win, the visitors lost their first four wickets for 19, and it was wholly due to another most serviceable innings by Douglas that they eventually won by a couple of wickets.

The Philadelphian team arrived in Bermuda on February 25th, and commenced their first game on the following day. Of the three matches played, they won 2 and lost 1. 1 st MATCH, v. HAM ILTON C.C. Played on February 26th and 27th. The Philadelphians won by 95 runs. Despite some very effective bowling by Gilbert, who took twelve wickets for 87 runs, the Philadelphians experienced little difficulty in winning a low-scoring game by 95 runs. In the second innings of Hamilton an accident occurred which might have had serious con­ sequences. West, in endeavouring to hit over his shoulder at a full-pitch from King, struck Dornan, the wicket-keeper, on the head with his bat. The latter fell to the ground in a semi-conscious condition, but quickly recovered, and pluck ily continued to play. On each day there was a splendid attendance, including H.E. the Governor. On the evening of the second day the players were entertained at dinner by the American (Continued on page 48.) CRICKET CATALOGUE POST FREE . 24 THE GREAT CITY DEPOT FOR HIGH-CLASS SPORTS REQUISITES.
