Brown took three wickets in an over, and 16 in the match. March 4th was a general holiday. His Excellency the Governor and Lady Young were present. The Tasmanians entertained the Vic­ torians to dinner at Webb’s on Friday evening, March 5th. Tasmania won the toss, and put Vic­ toria in. Five thousand spectators were present on the first day. “ We have already praised Mr. Wills as a cricketer . . . , but we would suggest to him that when playing a match with a neighbouring colony, if he should have the fortune to hurt a rival cricketer, it is at least only decent that he should conceal his exultation at the temporary pain he has inflicted.” Play should have commenced at 10 o’clock on the first day, but theVictorians did not arrive on the ground until 11. In noting the above match the Herald (Melbourne) says :— “ We are informed a match will be played on the Launceston Ground, on Monday, between the Victorian Eleven and Sixteen of Tasmania.” The two Colonies did not again meet until February 10th, 1866, when Eleven of Victoria beat Sixteen of Tasmania, at Launceston, by an innings and 25 runs. (See Scores and Biograghies , ix.—305). Of the twenty-nine matches played between Victoria and Tasmania, the former have won 18 and the latter 11.

The Sports and Games Association, of 56, Edgware Road, W., have issued a very interesting catalogue, a copy of which will be sent post free to any address upon application. A smaller illustrated price list of cameras and photographic accessories is also pub­ lished by the same firm, and should prove very useful at the present moment, when cricket snap- shottistsare beginning to prepare for the summer campaign.
