The Parsees won by 142 runs. Very level play was seen on the first day, the Presidency dismissing their opponents for 1(>1 and then scoring 135 for six wickets. Joy, a fast bowler, took seven wickets for 86. The Presidency lost four wickets for 39, but Airy and Heath added 63 for the fifth and the former and Turner 66 for the seventh. Airy, whose innings was wholly defensive, played a most useful game. The Parsees, upon going in the second time, lost Mody without a run, but K. M. Mistry and Melicrhomji pulled the game round for their side by putting on 123 for the second wicket, and tho Presidency were eventually set 223 to win. Many thought the runs would be made, but so well did K. B. Mistry and Warden bowl, that the whole side were dismissed in an hour and three-quarters for eighty on a good wicket.

On the first day the Presidency were dismissed for 196 on a wicket seriously affected by twelve hours’ rain, and the Parsees, in response, lost Kapadia and Daruwalla for 20 runs. On the Friday, the last eight wickets went down before Joy and Milne for 32, the innings closing for 52. When the Presidency went in the second time, Greig and Turner made a fine stand for the second wicket, the former scoring 115 out of 173 and hitting twelve 4’s. With five wickets down for 200 the innings was declared closed, leaving the Parsees four hours and a-quarter to bat. Daruwalla was yorked by the first ball of the innings, and with only 11 scored K. M. Mistry was caught at slip. Meherliomji, missed when 52, scored 54 out of 85 by bright cricket, but the others played a stone­ wall game. The Presidency won by 176 runs with half-an-hour to spare. The match proved a great attraction, thousands watching the play. By their success, the Presidency became qualified to meet the Hindus the following week to decide the cricket championship of Western India. Score and analysis:— P residency . Second innings.

M. Patel. PRESIDENCY v. HINDUS. 0m ) Played at Bombay on September 21, 2*2 & 23. The Presidency won by 119 runs. The Presidency were fortunate in winning the toss, for the wicket, easy at first, afterwards cut up rather badly. For their score of 207 they were indebted chiefly to Gi’eig and Heath, who added 63 for the second wicket, and to Sprott and Mosse, who put on 68 for the ninth. Against Joy and Coombs the Hindus lost their first six wickets for 36, but, thanks to Talpade, the total reached 79. In their second innings the Presidency made 124, Greig again being top-scorer: he and Turner made 46 for the opening partnership, but the other nine wickets added only 78 more. The Hindus never appeared likely to pull off the match. They lost Agasker, Talpade, and Samel without a run scored, whilst at 4 Mehta was caught at the wicket. Telangand Date then put on 58, but at the end of the day, when the former carried out his bat for 54, seven wickets were down for 82. On the third morning Telang was bowled for a splendid innings of 71, which contained eight 4’s, and was made out of 103 obtained whilst in. Shivram, who helped him to add 21 for the eighth wicket, was the only other player to do much. Score and analysis:— P residency . Capt. J. G.
