This match formed part of a commemoration programme in connection with the twentieth year of the Wanderers’ history. The Rest, after having the worst of the play in the first half of the game, were unfortunate not to win, the Wanderers, when stumps were drawn—owing to bad light, still requiring 62 to win with one wicket in hand. Hathom and Zulch made 140 for the Wanderers’ first wicket, the former, who gave three chances, batting four hours and hitting eighteen 4’s. In the second innings of the Rest Snooke made thirty 4 s and in partnership with Difford added 183 for the fourth wicket. Snooke hit thirty 4’s and Difford twelve. Score:— R est of S outh A frica .
