T E A M IN A U S T R A L I A . (Continued from page 7). 10t h M a t c h .— v. AUSTRALIA. ( the second test .) Played at Melbourne on January 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 , and 7. England won by one wicket. W ith Jones still an absentee, England did well to establish a lead of over a hundred on the first inn­ ings. They experienced great difficulty, however, in pulling off the match, the Australians playing a fine up-hill game in their second innings. Hutchings made his 126 without a mistake, and drove with much power. England still required 39 to win when Fielder went in, last man, and joined Barnes. The pair made the runs, and England accordingly scrambled home by a wicket. Score:— A ustralia .— V. Trumper, 49 and 63; O. G. Macartney, 37 and 54; O. Hill, 16 and 3; M. A. Noble, 61 and 64; W . W. Armstrong, 31 and 77 ; P. A. McAlister, 10 and 15 ; V. Ransford, 27 and 18; A . Cotter, 17 and 27 ; H. Carter, not out 15 and 53 ; G. Hazlitt, 1 and 3; J. V. Saunders, 0 and not out 0; byes, etc., 2 and 20. Totals, 266 and 397. E ngland .— F. L. Fane, 13 and 50 ; Hobbs, 83 and 28; Gunn (G.), 15 and 0; K. L. Hutchings, 126 and 39; Braund, 49 and 30; Hardstaff, 12 and 19; Rhodes, 32 and 15; J. N.

In the first innings of Australia Crawford took five wickets for 79 runs, and in the second Barnes obtained five for 72. Cotter took five for 142 in England’s first innings. 11 th M atc h . —v. AUSTRALIA. ( t h e t h ir d t e s t .) Played at Adelaide on January 10, 1 1 ,1 3 , 14, 15, and 16. Australia won by 245 runs. Up to a certain point Enj?land more than held their own, but a stand of 213 for the eighth wicket in the second innings of Australia quite changed the aspect of the game. Hartigan marked his initial appearance in Test-match cricket hy making 48 and 116, whilst Hill, who was so indisposed that he could not field in either innings of England, scored 160 in the second part of the game. The Englishmen, who were handicapped by the great heat, were still with­ out Jones, and it must be admitted that the luck of the game was against them Cotter, owing to a strain, was unable to play and Trumper, though he appeared, was far from well. Score: - A ustralia .— V. Trumper, 4 and 0; M. A. Noble, 15 and 65; C. G. Macartney, 75 and 9 ; P. A. M c­ Alister, 28 and 17; W. W. Armstrong, 17 and 31; y . Ransford, 44 and 25 ; C.

Although not at full strength, the Tasmanians gave a very good display, and were beaten by only 120 runs. Both Hobbs and Hardstaff were seen to advantage in each innings of England, whilst Hawson, W indsor, and Harrison scored well for the home side. It will be seen that neither Kady nor Burns played for Tasmania, fccore E ngland .— F. L. Fane, 14 and 7 ; Hobbs, 104 and 65; Hayes, 6 and 4; K. L.

TASMANIA. Played at Hobart on Januiry 24, 25, and 27. Drawn. But for rain on the third afternoon, Tasmania would have sustained a reverse, probably by an innings. England took the lead from the start and wrere in the happy position of beingableto call upon their opponents to follow-on. Hardstaff played another fine innings and Rhodes also entered three- figure land, but the feature of the match was the hundred made by Burn, who visited England as a member of the Australian team of 1890. Eady, who came over six years later, mot with pleasing all­ round success. Score E ngland - F. L. Fane, 62 ; H obbs, 58 ; Hayes. 1 ’ K. L.

Mr. George Glossop Walker, who was born at Haithill Grange, in Yorkshire, on June 14th, 1860, died on the 11th inst. at Whitwell, in Derbyshire, where he had been for many years a farmer on the estate of the Duke of Portland. He received his education at Broombank Honse School, Sheffield, and it was there that he learnt the game. Originally he was a slow bo vler, but later he took to delivering the ball (left-handed) at a great pice, and it was as a fast bowler that he obtained his numerous triumphs in county cricket. He was often erratic aud short, and frequently got up quickly olf the pitch, being at times a very awkward bowler to play. He took a long run and before the delivery of eveiy ball would pull at his cap, adjust his shirt front, and hitch up his trousers— little mannerisms which never failed to amuse those who had never seen him perform before. Hisfiist match for Derbyshire was against York hire on the Derby grout.d in 1881, and his last against Lancashire at Manchester in 1898. For some years he captained the team, and it was no fault of his that only a small amount of success attend d their efforts, for he was a splendid worker and popular with all. Upon his retirement from county cricket he received from his fellow-players a presentation as a tribute of their regard. tSome of his best performances with the ball for Derbyshire were as follows :— 7 for 105(in an innings of 451) v Notts., at Derby 1885 6 f S 26 i v‘ M-° 'a and G ->at Lord’s - I for 75 j v- Snrrey>at Derby .................. 5 for 31 v.
